Seriously can't believe they wouldn't live in it for twelve months so they can avoid capital gains tax.

What are they thinking ?!?!!??

Or maybe this is one of the ways they have chosen to repay their debt to society ?

Maybe they don't know any competent lawyers?

That much we know!

This is an excellent case of having a dog and barking yourself.

I suspect they don't want to accept the legal advise because that is admitting you are wrong.
 

So the number of players left at Essendon from the 2012 doping saga is down to 17: Essendon 34 won't play in NAB Challenge

The funny thing is that a number of those players have already been named publicly by Mark Robinson in the Herald Sun so why the big deal about protecting the anonymity of the players?

Essendonsupplements saga: Ironies abound as Bombers resist pre season solutions


Throw the club out of this year's first and second rounds of the draft if they boycott the nab challenge.

Punish them harshly for showing disrespect to the league and the 17 other clubs.

Just the first nail.......
 

Boycott games after afl offers solutions = bringing the game into disrepute, breach of contractual agreements, I'd expect punishments to be fairly harsh

The ones named by Mark Robinson are already in the public domain so not sure why they are trying to protect confidentiality. Another example of the parallel universe they inhabit over at essendrug

Jobe Watson, Dyson Heppell, Michael Hurley, Tom Bellchambers, Jake Melksham, Heath Hocking, Michael Hibberd, Kyle Hardingham, Tayte Pears, Alex Browne, Stewart Crameri, Scott Gumbleton, Ricky Dyson, Sam Lonergan Angus Monfries, Paddy Ryder

It wouldn't be hard to work out the rest,,,,,

How on earth are they not bringing the game into disrepute with this childish and embarrassing behaviour?

Why the hell are other teams constantly forced to suffer due to the illegal decisions made BY ESSENDON, BY HIRD, BY THE PLAYERS?

Farcical. And oh, so typical of the AFL to do absolutely nothing about it. Where's Eddie when you need him? He'd be absolutely ropeable if his team had to miss out on a practice match just because of Essendon's pathetic behaviour.

I say the entire team, and every player participating in the boycott, should be fined the absolute maximum allowed under AFL rules. Exactly the same as if a team boycotted a home and away match.

That may not be the worst goal to goal line in the AFL

St Kilda are in the same boat and are also wondering who they wil play! Why don't we play them twice as an easy solution?

Funny how low a profile Demetriou is keeping these days

Is it possible to hate Essendrug more than i already do?

Yes, yes it is possible, just repeat the phrase "2000 grand final" five times . . . . . . there you go, how easy was that!!

I was there Frag... :(

Couldn't have planned his exit any better. No doubt he knew exactly what was coming.

he'd be laughing his head off, bub

think the afl board is long overdue for a major rehaul

AFL must uphold provisional suspensions given to Essendon 34 players, approve top-ups for Bombers’ NAB Challenge fixtures

There's much discontent amongst the rest of Australia's sporting world....and rightly so

 

I was there Frag... :(

Right, good, work with it! THAT day was it hot? what could you smell, hear? Reconnect with THAT day . . relive the incidents, a head high charge, a cowardly punch, that feeling of revultion, the horror, the horror it's still lives inside of you . . reconnect with your inner hater. You'll be fine!

  • 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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
