Just read on HS feed that the Bombers are officially out of finals 2013.

Essendon will not play finals this year as AFL talks continue

Further penalties against club and individuals yet to be revealed.

From the article:

Its understood the Bombers have come to an agreement with the AFL which will include the loss of draft picks across two years.

An insider described the AFL as "not backing down

Certainly was for Keith between 1968-74. They were on fire back then!!

14+ wins in a season & no finals

1968 Richmond

1992 Carlton

2013 Essendon!

I suspect the order should also include a very large slab of mudcake. And pizza:

For sale: 2 tickets to Essendon v Richmond on Saturday night.

Going cheap.

7pm is the presser from the AFL

Corcoran 4 months. Thats garbage. bailey got longer for NOT tanking.

What would CC think of that one he got 12 months for telling jokes and no bodies health was put at risk.

Well with the exception of of my mental health

Yeah but they are also copping draft losses and all their points, so that would make the others get a lighter sentence.

I think people need to look through the stated "official" verdict on the MFC tanking and realise the actuality of the matter given the penalties and the circumstances.

Nevertheless, Corcoran should have gone in my opinion. Head of FD and does not know what was going on for player welfare. Yeah right!

I will happily swap all our 2011, 12 and13 points for no half a million fine.

I don't know what is in the 'official" verdict nor where to find it, so without you expanding on it, I can't be sure what you are referring to. But even if CC was guilty of the most outrageous and unprecedented tanking, the penalty for the 'supplements' program should be much higher than CC got. Of course you could argue CC should have got a smaller penalty.

So no finals, $2m fine, and out of the first two rounds of this draft, and the first round of the next one...

Those picks being taken away will mean that the Bombers will feel this more 7+ years from now.

Only the AFL could officiate a ludicrous enquiry outcome to suit its own ends yet still fine the club and officials when the football world believes we tanked. And we threw games to get draft picks. We tanked.

Nevertheless I believe the appalling governance failures at Essendon should result in the four aminos leaving. Whatever sympathy I might have had for Hird has gone as he has held the game to ransom and players welfare has been compromised.

I hope the fines, 2 years draft picks penalties and the loss of 2013 points goes ahead.

I still think 2013 is a crock...2014 would hurt and send a message. Its like a sentence of time served... big f'n deal.

Is that official?

If so the Bombers will feel it from day 1 because they have no picks to trade with given they viewed themselves in the premiership window.

Still would have wanted the first 3 rounds of draft picks for two years being the penalty.

The AFL needs to send a very message to other clubs and the broader community.

On the basis of these penalties for very poor governance, the four aminos can't possibly stay. It makes no sense.

Let's not get into this again...

We were chased around the yard for playing Warnock forward and Johnson back in a game we were in front of when the final siren went.

What the football world thinks is neither here nor there.

I have a Crows supporting mate who thinks they were hard done by moreso than the Dees because 'all they had was an email' and 'we were under the cap with the extra payments anyway!' (I had to explain all the AFL had on the Dees were disgruntled former employees and a bad joke)

So I am not about to continue the flaggelation of the Dees for doing what the Pies, the Hawks, the Blues, the Eagles, the Saints, and the Tigers have also done in the past. Especially with what the Crows, and the Bombers have done more recently.
