Often I see on various AFL trade rumour sites that the Dees are going after/recruited Melksham from Essendon,I find this strange.He is one of the players that are under WADA investigation which could result in a 2 year suspension.

Other teams have picked up ex-Essendon players which I think should never be tradeable unless the drug ordeal is done and dusted. The Dees in the past have been burnt via tanking and they paid $1 million dollars for a football ground in China which has ended up as a paddock full of weeds to say the least. If we go ahead with the trade and the players is suspended does the club get compensation. Another problem could be is the player is f..ked in the head from the scandal.

brilliant

it's wayne's world, it's party time, excellent

Caveat emptor Wayne, it should be one of life's guiding principles and no doubt the club have it covered.

Thread of the week.

I smell a foreign body on my favourite site....

Played on worse

Where are the Goal posts mate? Which end should we kick to in the first quarter?

I reckon they'll be suspended. WADA don't give fines, they only give suspensions. This is not the AFL where they have BS hearings only to find that someone is not guilty but still gets fined!! Under this new appeal the burden is on EFC to prove they did nothing wrong, where as the previous case had to be proved they did take the banned substances. The only reason they got off before was a lack of governance & records. Well that defense cannot work now on the WADA appeal. I feel like the whole media & footy world have decided if the pretend like nothing will really happen to the players it will become reality, however ASADA & WADA are clearly adamant something illegal went down & that the AFL hearing was a farce. Now it'll get tried under very different circumstances.

Last thing we need is a player that cant play for 2 years.
