I know many Blitzers would love to talk to this guy.
Perhaps he knows where the bodies are buried?
Here is your chance. Next Tuesday.

UKAD justification for closing the Jiffy bag investigation was one of insufficient records. Parallels with Essendon.
Vernec, WADA Medical Director is reported as saying that the Essendon case was the biggest scandal in anti-doping history.
Keep up the good work WADA, chase down the low hanging fruit in minnow sports and minnow countries and maintain the record of just about every Olympic Games being tainted with doping scandals. And don’t knock back generous donations from Russia

I find this most interesting and some unnerving parallels with complicit nature of the two major parties and the saga.

FFS. Among their excuses is that a billion dollar organisation like the AFL could not respond in a timely fashion because someone had to take school holidays off.
Yet another entry in the bulging Saga Truth-Is-Stranger-Than-Fiction Archives.
What are these million dollar lawyers Gill hired going to come up with next? We couldn’t respond in time because the dog ate our homework?
FFS.

"I intended not only to defend my integrity and my image as an athlete but also the values I have defended all my career.
“I also wish to avoid any public figure from making insulting or false allegations against an athlete using the media, without any evidence or foundation and to go unpunished.”:

OK, I am being sent misc news reports…The following is an unsubstantiated rumour; treat very carefully, then speculate wildly:
“McLachlan is quitting the AFL (i.e. being pushed out for an indiscretion) to join Crown Casino”
If substantiated, I hope journalists may now be able to print the truth behind the Essendon saga without recriminations. For example, they will be able to reflect on the integrity of an organisation that spreads unfounded and malicious gossip about a coach they wish to discredit.
Discuss.

So if Gill the Dill gets the flick from the AFL, does he still have to front court if requested?

Is there any chance this case is contributing just as much to Gil’s rumoured departure as his rumoured extra-curricula activities are?
