A.F.L. Thread II

Haha sack one of his favourites and get him to walk over his grave. Not likely.

Would laugh if Goodwin takes the gig at Melbourne too. Probably won't now though - it reeks of Goodwin getting the big offer from Melbourne, and the Crows making the quick move to get him in.
Interesting, he took the 5 year gig.

As Tredrea has twetted, Ricciuto would have to have known that Goodwin was taking this. Hence you'd think they wanted Sando gone regardless.

its like no-one has learnt from the mess at essendon.

also he should have been sacked after the queensland day game thing. jesus that was dumb
Yup, that was a shocker.

Certainly sounding like it was some senior players, not all - and those who weren't behind it aren't happy about being associated with it.

I suppose Sando was judged harshly for his comments before last season that he thought a flag was on offer. To miss the finals 2 years in a row from then on is a big underperformance. Still the list isn't good enough, he should have known and chosen his words better, losing Tippett weakened the structure of the side.

Goodwin said he got the call last night from Ricciuto, asking how far down the line he was.

I knew after reading this article some months back that Essendon and Hird would be up against it

There's nothing, in the legislation, that specifically prevents ASADA from jointly investigating with the Governing body of the sport

On the contrary, the legislation encourages it

But all Hird seemed to care about during the hearing was getting his version of events in the public arena RE who knew what when

That was never what the case was about

To the substance of the challenges, Essendon's contention is that ASADA is forbidden from investigating jointly with the AFL. But does such a statement hold water? For starters, it must be properly established there ever was a "joint" investigation. If a joint enterprise is proven, to what extent was ASADA's investigation undertaken "jointly" with the AFL? ASADA may have plenty, which it has derived independently of AFL House.

Even if ASADA chose not to ascend Everest alone, a review of ASADA's structure and statutory powers suggests it's hardly carved in stone that "thou shalt not work with others". ASADA's legislation requires the National Anti-Doping scheme to include provisions enabling ASADA to share information obtained during investigations. It also requires the scheme to have rules that facilitate sporting governing bodies assisting ASADA in its investigations.

Neither do the NAD scheme regulations contemplate ASADA operating in a fortress of solitude. ASADA's regulations authorise its chief to use information about an athlete, coach or other person given to ASADA by a governing body, such as the AFL, as if ASADA had uncovered the information itself. Governing bodies are demanded to "co-operate with any investigation".

annoying that my long term wish to trade one of Bellchambrs/Ryder will be granted, but it'll be my favourite one leaving
