Indeed who did organise a presser to announce rampant drug use in Australian sport without the investigation being started let alone completed by asada.

Approach AJ for job as chairman, the role when you have full time CEO is not a full time job, but work it like the AFL who has Eddie, Koch, Kennett its apolitical role gets someone who gets us plenty of airtime and has clout

It's irrelevant now and even if the federal government hyped a press release and are pressing for a result that does not make them culpable of anything much wrong

Sure this is politicized to f**k but there is no Labore conspiracy against the sharks

I dont have time to re type, it's a fairly lengthy and scathing synopsis + interview with Gus. Worth a listen.

I understand it better now because I heard Alan Jones and Phil Gould discussing it.
well someone had to say it.
but everything they said was true.
Board - show us the evidence or go away, thats what his advice was

Wow.. That made me pretty f**king angry.

Cant stand Jones but it was intereseting. I too wonder what the NRL is doing. At least Demetriou is working behind the scenes. May not succeed but AFL gives the impression they wont cave in. We have 6 ckubs under a cloud. Surely the NRL should he acting on their behalf. We could have an end of seasons finals comp for the named .6 :)

I dont see any of the Essendon players being grilled. James Hird denies nothing and walks past the media looking as guilty as hell. Probably under instruction. Gould made a valid point. Even if someone is found guilty this has gone too far.

ASADA will run out of steam and others will frustrate them. Armstrong rebuffed allegations for 10 years. Stand strong against ASADA and they will go away Who will care after the next election?.

Also, i agree with other posters about Irvine. Ironic he did so much great work for us and now getting hammered. In the same way the Board have hung out players and staff, the NRL have hung out the clubs. Since the ASADA conference the best we have heard from the leadership is a reference to Benji Barba. I know the NRL and Keith Ward weren't trained for this crap but neither was Gall. Here's a discussion point. We may well be guilty but doubt it can be proven. Wont be the first or last. Dont even start me on teams not convicted of cap rorting. Only Storm and Bulldogs guilty do me a favour. World is so PC that everyone knows who I mean but cant say it even on a fan forum. Can I say good to see John Ibrahim at a club season launch. Fmd.

Great stuff.

Gal's popularity versus Gillard's.

The tide has turned in the past 24 hours.

A win on the park and now Jones address. Fortunately this show has a million listeners.

The major points which:
- Show the negligence of Federal govt and ALL relevant agencies
- Every single decsion made by our heirachy at Shark park is wrong, stupid, and self imploding
- Flanno and other staff shown to be mistreated
- Players to be caught up in agroundswell of public support
- Every media show/outlet will pick up Jone's main points and run with it as they are without question
- Our board can't survive this. Never mind the media backlash...the fans will turn against them, and the signing of new players will be affected - these guys are toxic and have no place in sport.
- Brought into question the whole argument that what Dank was actually doing is illegal - because nobody can prove so.
- The commission is excatly what is has shown to be - toothless
- Smith Vs Dimetriou - First round knockout. Flyweight vs Heavyweight
- Will Gillard go into damage control and takes steps to separate the 'innocent' from the guilty?

Put your knobs away guys

Jones merely overcooked the drama for entertainment

He is as irrelevant in this issue as me or any poster on Lu

The people of importance are the ones considering immunity and leniency

They are the only ones that matter

My favourite part was where Jones said the Board have no understanding of the issues...

Of course the media and external sources who are not privy to the investigation do.

Jones should of choked to death on a big saveloy when he was caught with his pants down in the London Pommy lavatory.

Another case of who you know, not what you know.

The blokes a slimey grub of the highest order.
