You would have to think that if there was ever any doubt in anyone's mind that the players were taking banned substances and that there was a systematic/organised off-site program of injections taking place (or a thought that lack of hard evidence could somehow wash), then this must put an end to that doubt.

"but the player does not have an infraction notice."

Wow. Further news. This is huge

Windy Pill Mens Room is taking a lot of traffic right now. Mobile phones to the ear

I can see Frank Underwood from "House of Cards" in there working out the numbers of Little and his Board now....

Choc Top anyone? :)

One has to wonder why the player in question felt the need to seek a suppression order. It may of course be a perfectly reasonable request, but it will interesting to see if the media is respectful of the players right to privacy and anominity. I suspect not.

O50, do the players have that right? I am not so sure.

I think a media outlet will get a rush of blood and let is slip, in the public interest.

Probably so they & their family don't get abused by mental Essendon fans that blindly back their club no matter what.

If they do ManDee they will be hauled before the court.

The courts take an extremely dim view of people breaking court suppression orders.

The Media do understand the significance of breaking these orders.

Let's call him 35...

OD if the suppression order is granted it will be interesting to see if any media organisation appeals the decision.

OD the first reports I read stated that they had chosen not to name the players. AFL.com & The Age. They also did not mention a request for a suppression order. I now note that the Age mentions the request for a suppression order. But surely that is a request, is that legally binding?

From The Age

The player has requested his name be suppressed during the Supreme Court trial.

Fairfax Media understands that any proceedings would be about health and safety, not football. It is understood that the case is connected to the Essendon supplements regime but the player does not have an infraction notice.

My understanding is that you get to apply for the supression order not to be granted.

Once granted you then have to honor the order.

As an aside, Go_Blues is back posting on BF. He has been laying low since he posted what appeared to be a snippet of ASADA's evidence, supposedly passed onto him by one of the charged.

Go_Blues reckons that two coaches (one current, one former) will be issued with IN's. Goodwin's name was mentioned, but Go_Blues said that he wasn't one of the two he was thinking of.

About 4 names suggested on BF. NLM, SL, KR and a current SANL playing-coach.

Thanks OD. I think you're right. Still the question stands. Will any media organisation apply to have suppression order not granted, and if so under what premise.

There is a certain fascination with blood sports. And Essendon's exsanguination is particularly appealing.

Oooooh I don't know what that is but I like the sound of it.....

I know the player in question is not supposed to be one of the 34, but maybe ASADA didn't go for him for some reason. Wouldn't it be interesting for a player in court to say to EFC you can't tell me what I was given, I demand compensation for your negligence causing me worry etc., and EFC might think the best course is to suddenly discover the records of what was administered.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
