As previously suggested.

Guilty. 2 years less voluntary suspensions. All bans from tomorrow.

I.e about 19 months 

Anyone who wants to put Melksham above decency and justice has a rather warped sense of values I have to admit.

If there are no rules and adherence to them you have anarchy.

Agree with this. The only fair outcome, considering the stalling/lying/cheating/covering up that has occurred.

 

My worry is that they will get off and Hird will be more unbearable than he has been for the last three years.

Little has done a great job at hosing this down, by delaying he has been able to swap out some of the players to reduce the final impact that any penalty will have on the club. They have effectively diminished the punishment significantly.  Now if they get banned for 6-12 months there is a good chance they will finish down low or possibly even bottom of the ladder giving them valuable draft picks in this years draft. So next year with new draftees and new picks and their full list returned they should be in a very good position for next year. All in all I think a lot of essendon supports will be happy with that outcome considering how bad it could have been.

Not if they are found guilty.

The cost to the club from players taking legal action will be a big, big issue, not to mention cost for them.

 

If found guilty, I believe there should be seismic decisions made against this club.

I would be looking at being disbanded. Just from a role model perspective alone. Not even with a secondary consideration of the AFL.

I do not believe in another consideration.

Self imposed ban of any media, social or otherwise, at least until the tennis finishes and the pre season starts.

While I agree with this thought process, will never happen. The fl ogs are to "valuable" to the TV $$$$.

Demonland being the exception....

Could care less about Melksham being embroiled with the ban. I want these cheats to pay for what they did and I want Hird nailed to the wall and disgraced.

A 12 month ban for a player we paid through the roof for this past trading period would be a garbage result for the MFC.

For the record:

Verdict: guilty

Sanction: 2 years, backdated to SCN ie Oct 2014.  Further backdating for delays (Fed Court) out of player control ie back to first round of SCN's in June 2014.  Therefore, suspension period expires June 2016 earlier if CAS find other mitigating circumstances.  Players miss 10 to 12 games.

CAS remove Watson's brownlow.

CAS take no action against coaches, management or other support staff.

They simply cannot get allowances for every delay.

Do people really think that a drug case like this would have been decided overnight, even if the records had been produced?

True, we could just add him to the list of others that are currently cashing in, I can think of at least 4.

Most of the delays have been caused by the club or its employees.

Coaches management and staff should be banned for life. Partic. the Doc

I don't think the delays should or will be taken into account given that it was the EFC and players who initiated them.

It would free up a spot for a rookie to be promoted.  Mitch White looked OK in his one game last year. 

 

What time AESDT for any announcement ?

It's a cold cold night here in Helsinki but a guilty with bans would warm me up :)

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
