http://www.sen.com.au/news/a-short-sharp-ban-is-the-most-appealing-outcome I disagree strongly, the situation is simple, if this club has cheated than it needs to man up and cop what's coming to it, they have fought the investigation ever step of the way, Robbo and his media team have carried out a media campaign trying to discredit and paint ASADA as the big bad wolf and Essendon as innocent victims. The league needs to be very strong on the fact that Illegal or performance enhancing drug use is unacceptable under any circumstances and cannot go soft on anyone for it, much less this club who has appealed the legality of the investigation once, while it's coach has twice. If they are found guilty is important that the punishment is not reflective of what is best for the EFC, or for the League in terms of getting them back on the field ASAP, it needs to send a message, and i suspect ASADA and WADA are hell bent on making sure that happens.

Was told today by an essendon supporting mate he is led to believe the club has been told a guilty verdict is More likely than not hense the sense of urgency to get the full in players over the line.

What a joke, keep the rich, rich

Just out of curiosity, if essendon lodge their list of 44 or whatever ińc top up players and the players only get banned for half the season presumably they would have to sit out the season anyway because the list has already been lodged?

Spoke to a mate about this tonight and he says he heard asada told the players they would get a guarenteed free pass if they gave them something to implicate Hird or dank, obviously I don't know how true that is but it makes sense they'd be desperate to get the big fish in this whole mess.

Neeld seriously rates Evans, he would be a good chance

The afl hand down penalties, but wada will be watching with interest

Neeld and moloney reunited haha god I hope so

Still very much just sounding out who might be interested

Michael hartley too good key defender

Apparently georgiou, panos and baulderstone are on the list.

Bootsma, morton, mclean, moloney, Davey,

Freo might give them col haha

Tapscott, Strauss, Evans, georgiou are all back in

If the fact essendon clearly got rid of records isn't enough to build a case around I'd be shocked. Essendon weren't as desperate as they were to have asadas evidence thrown out for no reason, why appeal if they were super confident of winning anyway.

Guess brayshaw Will have to take out the rising star instead

It's not so much of an issue with skinny kids because they can really hit the gym and build their upper body while in rehab, Christian is already there in that sense, just needs to be really patient and treat it as an opportunity to build character, every situation provides an opportunity ity to grow.

Plenty of players have come back from this point and he has time on his side Bigger and better in 2016

Watch the eyes, could have been an existing injury, his has been bandaged for a few sessions

Sounds very acl like to me fingers crossed I am wrong

Haha I'd hate to be the one who asked Jesse to sit it out.

The sharks cooporated from day one, were 100% unknowing when they did it and clearly weren't trying to cheat. Essendon seems to be the opposite

I think Matt Jones is a good solid player but I expect guys like Salem and toumpas to overtake him, he allows them to develop rather than play too much too early

From a club that has made a point of not leaking anything I don't think they would let something this major out. Or be stupid enough to try it in the first place.

That's just sandilands mate, he's taken.
