The makor issue will be a under 22 yo player who takes the risk,pleads guilty to get a shortened sentence{maybe} and get his 18 months out of the road and still have a career.

As soon as one breaks rank shes all over.

They don't look like it yet Jazza, didn't they only this week ALL agree to be represented by the one lawyer, one if the ex- Bombers lawyers?

No i think they agreed essendon would PAY their legal representatives.
 

Tell these nanny state meddlers where to go.

Or we'll set the dogs on to you.


Until one breaks ranks.

It will only take one smart manager to tell his client"look your 22 and i can get you a contract with another club"

"you can take an 18 month holiday for an early plae and get your body in tip top shape"

"You will have at least 8 more years to earn a good dollar".

Interesting. Could be a far better choice than a 3-5 year court battle...

Who knows at this point, but they only just agreed to go it together Jazz. I do hope they splinter and shatter.

But what about the poor players?

I am crying into my Chardonnay or sav blanc or whatever the hell it is

In recent weeks the AFLPA has sought and has now gained approval from every past and present player involved in the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority probe to use the same legal team for any matters concerning the investigation.

The colourful man from WA most likely, Spike would shave his head amd show his true bald before going against his club.


I hate Essendon with a passion, but for the good of the game, I hate this whole stinking episode even more.

i hate essendon even more for DOING this to our game.

For the good of the game they CANNOT be unpunished if they are guilty.

I can't stand essendon as a club and everyone starting with Hird should fry for what they have done.

However I really feel for the players and really hope they don't go down for this. The player put their trust in the professionals at the club exactly the same as any melbourne player puts their trust in the demons coaching and medical staff.

I understand that athletes are solely responsible for what goes into their bodies but I do not agree with it. Essendon betrayed its players.

I don't disagree for a second biggestred ....... but I take no joy from it either.

Well said, Essendon's hierarchy which precided over the program betrayed the players. For the good of sport the players must be banned if they breached the WADA code even though they were let down so badly by their club.


Hird to Dank: "Give us the good stuff we are playing Carlton this week".

They knew what they were doing. They sought an edge over the competition. The ran it like a military operation. They were 'smart' enough to get players to sign consent forms. They actively went around their club Doctor.

They are cooked.

Just read this and burst out laughing:

“The club will continue to act in the best of interest of its players and respect the integrity and confidentiality of this process,” said Paul Little.

(yeah, like we did when we were injecting them and leaking like a sieve to the Herald Sun)

Bombers legend Tim Watson, the father of club captain and 2012 Brownlow medallist Jobe Watson, said the players were “shocked” by the latest development. Shocked? Really Tim? Been asleep for the past 16 months?

Woo Hoo.

Essendon team to play Melbourne this week:

Goddard

Chapman

Geez they are going to be buggered running around by themselves...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
