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.

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

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

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!

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
