Theyre employed by the club on an afl approved contract. I would have thought the AFL relatively clear of this ( cant believe i wrote that lol ) in so far as when aware they did warn hird/essendon against the path they took. Basically EFC simply went ahead and flouted all the rules and some. They not the AFL would be accountable i should think though its a classic efc gambit to have done something then blame others for what they did themselves as if its anyone else fault. Amazing!!

Either way rjay we won't dip out as a result.

Taylor proving a handy addition to the club. Can't wait to see next draft's Smokey

Can't remember off top of head ( someone can kindly provide) what scope of fines are but the and/or jail bit can be u to 5 years.!!

Is this again an example of Essendon arrogance and cockiness. Itll all come back and bite them. The ice is getting thinner.

Col probably has a decent earner of a decade ahead. More than likely in some premier league where he can coast through a game playing quite ok; not have to over exert, kick a few, get fawned and lauded, load up on a Sat night and repeat next week. He was born for this as a good ol boy !!! AFL just asked too much.

and that other bloke....damn if i can remember his name

I see what I see. I have already noted he does some good things, play some fine footy. Perhaps you did not see that.

I think you're trending the right path. It could very well BE worksafe who puts Dank in the box. The fallout could be spectacular

whilst there certainly existed such angst early on (being #1) i truly think thats long gone in most observers thinking.I just compare average Jack to capable Jack. I think most do actually. Hes now in his 6th season and i think most are judging him in light of that.

am in no hurry for that though

Well put. The whole notion of "laying off" is preposterous. Hes accountable. Invariably those making excuses constantly inject the ' stop persecuting him for being a #1". For the most part those critiquing Jack could give a rats about that draft only the application of known/shown abilities. He has shortcomings that ought to have been rightrd by now...given the 100 games everyone offers up. I dont think anyone argues he doesnt do some good things, and yhe nature of the game is such all will make errors but a lot of Jacks come from ineffectual efforts often. Please read...not that he hadnt tried but that they were not effective. I DO watch Jack, often and it seems he does like space (possibly too much ) and gor a guy with pace to burn seldom puts on the afterburners. There are times it looks to me he could catch someone, but doesnt or he could lunge over a kick but doesnt and these are 1%'ers there for the doing. I only judge him by him. I think he can do a lot better. This will be the last seadon he'll get away with it for mine. Id really like to see the full Jack Watts. Itd be something.

Last laugh ?.....not yet

Choke thats always chuffed me, the idea that in a fashion EFC have been too clever by half. Backed into a corner now id think. No Cronies to save them now.

He's certainly stepped up again has Mr Jones; admirable. Definitely like the cut of Angus's cloth. We got this one right for sure. We've turned the corner without doubt now Edit.spelling lol

Here lays the difference with CAS . Historically they are likely to form the view all circumstantial evidence and anecdotal corroborations collude to suggest only TB4 was sought, sourced and used. Unlike the Shonky Tribunal they won't t think it just as possible they were buying licorice allsorts !!!

It might be simpler . WADA presents to Cas whatever info exists re documentation and records. Wada refers to EFC being unable to manifest them. Balance of probability suggests they were erased/destroyed. Worksafe has even easier proposition ahead. Whether there were or weren't any records, they cant produce any now, therefore they can't show the welfare of their employees having been considered in an appropriate manner. The vested interest of Worksafe in in the players ( health and safety ) EFC has some pain coming, right Max ?

Awwww...poor Essendon, it hasn't gone away after all !!

short answer ,yes.Anything that surfaces or now becomes apparent can be subpoenaed.

all good Max is on the case

we all knew itd end bad for them !!! aaaaaaarrrgghhh lol

Truth be told Hi Ho retired from AFL many years ago

$199. Bargain !!!

In the context ...define reasonable force ?He didn't punch after all

do they have teeth ?
