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...

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
