And there is nothing new - just the same pack of dills that keep stirring the innards of the chickens they slaughtered 2 years ago ... and who think that every single process point along the way requires breathless purple prose and regurgitation of what everyone already knows.
Frankly I'm bored with it all and those lining up to highlight their ignorance in the media.
Can we have something new please!

pretty standard process to introduce defense witnesses.
Yeah, the more evidence we show that discredits ASADA's case, the better.
Essendon ASADA witness Shane Charter claims new evidence will help players
ASADA’s key witness in the Bombers drugs saga is spruiking evidence he has claimed will throw new light on the case and assist the players.
The Herald Sun can reveal that Shane Charter is considering adding the material to evidence he has already supplied to the anti-doping authority.
The biochemist is set to give an interview to Channel Seven News tonight, while also planning a tell-all documentary chronicling his version of events.
Charter is the key witness in the ASADA case against 34 players charged with doping violations while at Essendon in 2012.
His testimony and supporting documents have been alleged to show that Stephen Dank ordered the banned Thymosin beta-4 from him in quantities consistent with doses of supplements given to Essendon players.
But Dank denies giving players banned or harmful drugs, claiming they were give a legal type of Thymosin called Thymomodulin.
Now Charter, who is facing separate and current charges related to steroid trafficking, is spruiking new material said to have been recently discovered at his former office in Shanghai, where he sometimes sources peptides.
The material has been described as useful to the defence, although it would not be the “smoking gun” that would exonerate players.
The exact content is not clear.
The Herald Sun can also reveal Charter has spent the past two days talking with ASADA, which is seeking a statutory declaration from him.
He has made no decision about whether to provide one.
Major networks have been approached over a Charter documentary, but nothing has been finalised.
He is believed to be seeking a six-figure sum.
On Tuesday night, the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal sat for the first time in the Essendon case, to decide how the charges against the 34 players would be heard.
The Herald Sun’s media lawyer Justin Quill made a submission to tribunal chairman, retired judge David Jones, that in the public interest, the proceedings should be open.
A hearing date was set for December 15 with an expectation it could run for two to three weeks.
If found guilty, players could be banned for up to two years, but discounts could reduce bans to six months, including time served in the off-season.
LOL, what a f****** farce. ASADA's "star witness" helping the defence team. Could there ever be a greater example of complete and utter bullshit than this entire saga?
I'm beginning to think ASADA's reliance on Shane Charter is becoming similar to the prosecution's reliance on Wendy Pierce in the Walsh St murders case....

How many people is Charters talking to? ASADA, the media and now he is saying he has evidence that could get the players off. Hope the last bit is true but what a slimy prick.

It now seems that Charters has engaged Mick Gatto to sell his evidence to Essendon, having been knocked back by the TV networks.
He is, by the way, ASADA's chief witness who has yet to agree to give evidence at the hearing. Perhaps ASADA is also being asked to stump up some cash to get him to the table.
You could not dream this stuff up!!!
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark

34 players are being accused of violating a code when those involved in trying to establish a case based on facts, are violating pure decency, ethics and morals.
Society if f***** when this sort of shit is allowed to carry on for 2 years unchallenged. In fact, it is basically supported, encouraged and promoted by the media...
