[red and blue forever 944]

Andrew Demetriou just said in the AFL press conference on Essendon's sanctions, that the investigation will now move to the Melbourne supplement allegations.

Great does that mean we will finish 9 th as well

[beelzebub 23,254]

probably lose all our points too

[garyh007 112]

The way the afl works we should get punished in 2020

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

It's all good news going for this club.

Interesting. Didn't move to Carlton after our tanking allegations?

[olisik 4,060]

Afl will give us 5 mill then fine us 2.5

[rpfc 28,087]

My ears pricked up at that too...

I was expecting some form of investigation.

I am curious myself what the hell we were doing, or whether we just let Bates do his own thing.

Fine and another admonishment probably...

[Real Demon 232]

Kick away AFL, we're all numb after this season anyway, and won't feel a thing!

Oh God now we take centre stage do we? Surely we were the control group, taking the placebos! While people are rejoicing on the penalties to EFC it sets the limits for our potential punishment. We lose draft picks and we are stuffed.

Given the idiots in charge of our club last year what chance we have any confidence in the governance of the medical staff and what they may have been up to!

[beelzebub 23,254]

what ever happens no one make a joke.... !!!

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Suspend Mark Neeld.

[Maybe next year 170]

Will a $1 million fine kill the club? Can we afford another scandal? Tanking and performance enhancing in a short period of time. Wow. Oh I forget we were fined for not tanking.

Can they ban Neeld retrospectively? Wasn't doing much coaching this season anyway.

[DemonOX 8,743]

They can't do anything to us cause we are already paying a heavy price for our own self inflicted fart ups.

They are considering giving us a pp what they are going to do ban us from the draft?

The other thing this could make it harder for us to get a coach.

[Deespicable 2,691]

Apparently we are going to lose our first two picks in the draft. But we get priority picks for the next two years to compensate!

[monoccular 17,360]

I would think that we're the AFL to decide to kick us when we are way down at our lowest ever ebb, and having made huge moves in governance and personnel, our once great club would be stone dead and buried.

We would certainly attract NO players of any value in the coming trading season - absolutely none.

Certainly were an investigation to be ongoing at the start of season 2014, we would struggle to get 5,000 members. And I doubt if they would instigate an investigation were they not pretty sure they were onto something.

a nothing investigation

If there was anything of substance related to us it would have come out in the press by now

Think we should have a chill out for a second. Would be surprised if we were taking blokes offsite , carrying out stuff like Essendon. Lets wait a second before the floggings begin.

[Robot Devil 1,895]

Suspend Mark Neeld.

Most likely punishment involves Mark Neeld being reinstated as coach of MFC. A punishment for all involved.

[Robot Devil 1,895]

And can someone fix the thread title... it's hurting my eyeballs.

From memory it was only a couple of players and not the whole team like the dons.

I know Craig's and trenners name was mentioned but can't remember much more than that.

No doubt the media will remind us all.

I've forgotten what we were supposed to have done. Did Jack Trengove get some cream rubbed on his foot or something?

Bit of a different scale to 125 jabs.

No surprise at all, will be interesting and potentially frightening to see what happened and where we stand.
