We need to get Ian Rush on the case.

He'll sort it out.

I still don't get why a lot more questions aren't being asked about Hird's "career-ending" foot injury that suddenly came good after Shane Charter became involved.

I remember clearly rumours about Geelong in 2009 and the pies in 2010. They were on here for a while, and on BF. Then it all quietly went away. The Pies one about elevated levels of testosterone keeps bobbing up. But the Cats rumours have been dead for a while.

Nothing would surprise me....

It's never too late. They take Gold medals away years later, and award them to the next person.

I am not saying that this is what will happen here, but it's possible.

I said at the time the saddest thing is even if it happens and we get something retrospectively, the joy we would have had is taken away. I could never forgive that.

So, I doubt anything will happen, but it explains many things.

No surprise that Dank and co are also associated with the Suns.
I think i'm right in saying he and Ablett are quite close friends from they're days at Geelong.

I assume that you mean by the media. Nothing can be proved and there is a thing called liable and defamation laws.

Do not forget the fact that bomber was on his last chance with the cats.
A lot of s*** went down. they sacked the fitness guy who then sued the club. He was kind of made a scape goat.
And man did they turn it around.

Surely no one is surprised in the slightest…

As pointed out, Robinson is on record years ago saying that Dank played a "huge role" in their premiership success.

Nevermind the treatment Chapman received during the GF, which was banned a few weeks later by WADA - so in essence it's absolutely cheating as well, just hadn't been ratified yet.

I can't think about this any more.

Football media won't run with it. They make their living through the sport. Conflict of interest.

Don't worry about it or it'll do your head in. We lost.

The AFL won't want to touch it as that would open a huge can of worms.
But at least it will create a wider public perception that those two premierships were suspicious if not tainted.
Wont happen

Yep swept under the carpet with Ed leading the charge. If Collingwood had lost it may have gained a bit of ground but with them winning the damage would have been far to great.
