ESSENDON legend Tim Watson has likened the bizarre supplements at the centre of the Bombers' drugs crisis to ingredients used by a "witch doctor".
The father of Essendon captain Jobe said he remained "angered" at the prospect the club had failed in its "duty of care" to players.
Sacked Essendon scientist Stephen Dank has claimed the substances Bombers players consumed included pig's ear, calves' milk and bark extract.
Watson said the concoction "just sounds crazy".
"You know what it sounds like? It just sounds like the witch doctor stuff," Watson said on SEN.
"It sounds like the people who have been trying to come into footy clubs for years and years and trying to peddle stuff.
"Going back to when I played, 20 years now, where you had people knocking on the door and you would see some odd-looking fellow in the medical room trying to flog something to the club."
Essendon players are facing two-year bans over allegations they were injected with banned substances.
Watson had faith the club would hold staff to account as part of Essendon's internal investigation but was concerned by the seriousness of the allegations levelled at the club's supplement program.
"As a parent or as somebody associated with Essendon Football Club ... you think, 'Well, where is the duty of care here'?"
"Who was responsible for ticking off on these things?
"Did these people act in a maverick renegade way, whereby they were telling people at the football club one thing - and I'm talking about the doctors - and then going away and doing something completely different?
"These are all questions which I hope answers will be found and there is no reason why they won't be found after this investigation is completed by Ziggy Switkowski."
Watson said he was confident in the integrity of the Bombers' probe, to be completed within weeks. "People will think Essendon are investigating themselves (and) they will push stuff under the carpet," he said.
"I don't believe that will be the case at all, because I am seeing the stress on the faces of those who are involved at the Essendon Football Club. "This is not going to be a sweep under the carpet type exercise."
