The AFL need to get to the bottom of this or it will remain a UXB forever. I dont want to see a best seller novel at the end of a career that 'tells all '. It must happen now!
It won't happen. There is a reason why the AFL dropped the charges against Reid when he went to court.
Essendon is guilty, but the AFL is not innocent either.
I just heard on the radio that suki hobson was a whistleblower at essendon over the drugs scandal, does this have any truth to it, first i have heard about it. on the age website ...it just says that she said that dank was storing hexarelin in his office, and reported this to the hirdy/corcoran/bomber etc....how long are the age/afl going to be leaking more things from the investigation.
that was in the charge sheet. To say she was a whistle-blower is an exaggeration, she put dank in for storing hex in his office.

The transformation of Essendon's intensely scrutinised high-performance department continues, following the resignation of strength scientist Suki Hobson.
Hobson had been portrayed as a whistleblower in the club's supplements scandal after she allegedly raised concerns about Stephen Dank to football bosses at Windy Hill last year.
Hobson's departure, which has become known at the club in recent days, comes as Essendon advertises publicly for a rehabilitation coach, a role believed to take in Hobson's old responsibilities.
Meanwhile, after a season from hell, a major pillar in the Dons' strength and conditioning ranks was settled this week with the announcement that Justin Crow, 30, would become the team's high-performance manager permanently, after he agreed to a new two-year contract.
Crow, who played one senior game for Collingwood in 2004, acted in the high-performance manager role at Essendon this season from the time Dean Robinson was controversially stood down.
Crow worked in Collingwood's fitness department, as rehabilitation coach, between 2008 and 2011.
Essendon is now advertising for a new rehabilitation coach on the club website. It points out in the job specification that ''this role will be subject to background checks''.
Hobson, who attended the Essendon Women's Network grand final lunch on Thursday, was among last year's nominees for the football woman-of-the-year prize.
Hobson's name came to prominence again late this year after the AFL released details of its damaging charge sheet against the Bombers.
The detailed charge sheet - significant portions of which were disputed by key football staff at the Bombers, including coach James Hird - stated that Hobson, at some stage in 2012, had told Hird, Mark Thompson and Danny Corcoran that Dank was storing Hexarelin, a growth hormone banned for athletes, in his office.
Crow will develop and oversee the club's fitness program.

Why does everybody just suddenly take Earle's statements as gospel? When did this guy morph into Mother Teresa? He could well be lieing his ■■■■ off to save it. Who knows. To suddenly hang everything on what this guy says is just stupid.

How about ' Vent your Spleen'. ABC Grandstand had one for after match ( a few years ago) for supporters, use to love it, especially if Carlton or Hawthorn had lost.

He seemed very sensible, credible and articulate in his interview. Far more than most people his age would.
Also, Dank was watching the interview with another 'sports journalist' present. He didn't deny any of it.
His only caveat was that Earl 'didn't have a gun pointed at his head.'
I'm not a fan of the 'he had to know something was wrong,' line.
Gordon Tallis put forward that as soon as his treatment included something he couldn't spell he should have had doubts.
If that's the case then Tallis should have had major doubts about playing in the NRL.
I can very easily accept that a guy would take advice from the club 'Sports Scientist' for rehab over that of the club doctor (or medic, with no disrespect meant to Doc Reid).
Penrith's problem was the same as Essendon's, and the AFL's was the same as the NRL's.
The clubs weren't as vehement about knowing what Dank was doing as they should have been, and the leagues had inappropriate measures in keeping tabs on what clubs were doing.
The fact is , whatever governance issues the clubs had, the leagues were far worse.
