Yup, how more simply can it be put PN?

Makes me laff, they "believe" and still do all the crap they were spun, and still dont realise WADA is a world organistaion, who pinged the most famous cyclist ( and one of the worlds biggest stars) of all time in Lance Armstrong ( alng with his bevy of high paid "clever" lawyers), but yeah we are AUSSIES and we are innocent BECAUSE we say we are.... fair dinkim SPARE ME.

Mate it's arrogance look at me we've won 16 flags, a bunch of self entitled arseholes who backed the wrong horse, that being Hird.

PN they have only won 2 AFL flags as 14 were in a Melbourne suburban comp. If we are including them then Perth have won 7 AFL flags!
On another note in light of the former Essenscum coach's place in all of this also considering he was injected along with his players back in 2012 I wonder if ASADA have kept records of the swabs from his playing days ala the horse racing fraternity and those swabs of former coach now be reassessed by ASADA to see if there are any abnormalities that may not have been able to be detected back before 2007!

My understanding is that Essendon have some wealthy supporters. They can chip in the $20 - 40 million that this fiasco is going to cost Essendon from now.

Well unk (et al). It would seem that I am not the only person that believes vfl flags mean nothing in the AFL. They mean as much as WAFL, Sanfl etc flags?

Yeah unfortunately you've now become the biggest embarrassment in the history of Australian sport.

Finally this Essendon saga has an ending. Not a good result for the Bombers and the Afl.The Afl doesnt look pretty and have been rolled over by an International organization. Just wonder the outcome if James Hird walked early in this saga.

.




BANNED Essendon players are threatening to sue the AFL and Essendon unless they are paid up to $50 million compensation, as Bombers captain Jobe Watson says the players would explore all avenues.

“The decision announced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport to uphold WADA’s appeal is devastating,” Watson said in a statement.

“Our legal team is conducting a thorough review of the decision and will explore any avenues available to us.”

Agents and the AFL Players Association met later to thrash out a plan to push for payments for the 34 players.

Veteran agent Peter Jess called for the league to set up a welfare fund, particularly for the players no longer on the Bombers’ list.

He said the players could otherwise sue the AFL, the AFL Commission and Essendon for $30-40 million for breaching their duty of care.

“However, we are still doing the maths on that, so it could be as high as $50 million.

“The psychological impact from all this has been enormous, and now it’s moved to the financial impact,” Jess said.

“The 12 blokes who are still there get paid. The 17 who are not on a list don’t get anything and are in limbo.

“We need to act as a collective and make sure we understand the value. I would rather settle than (sue),” he said.

“The players are all very supportive of each other, but there’s still this mix of anger and confusion,” Jess said.

In a statement on behalf of the Essendon 34, Watson said the players’ legal team would conduct a “thorough review”.

“We are struggling to come to terms with this decision, and feel it does not support the players’ firm belief that we are innocent,” Watson said.

“The players would like to thank our families, our friends, our members and supporters for their unwavering support.”

Nathan Lovett-Murray declared online yesterday that the players would “fight this all the way” to clear their names.

He moved his family to Shepparton three weeks ago to be Aboriginal team Rumbalara’s playing coach — a job now out of bounds.

“To my Essendon team mates: we are not drug cheats,” he posted on Instagram.

“Do not give up the fight.”

Lovett-Murray’s father, Gary, said he had encouraged the 145-game player to pursue all legal options.

“He’s got over the shock, I suppose. He has now got to get methodical and professional and do what he’s got to do.

“He’s set himself on a path to coach in the AFL, so the first question is, does that stop?

“He’s getting fees from coaching and playing at the Rumbalara football club.

“The club needs to address the issues. They’ve got to come to the party and turn this unjust decision into a just one.”

Essendon faces revenge of players - including Port’s Monfries and Ryder - suspended due to doping conviction

BANNED AFL stars including Port Adelaide’s Patrick Ryder and Angus Monfries, made football outcasts by Essendon’s drugs disgrace, are poised to mount a group court action against the club.

The bitter fallout of the Court of Arbitration for Sport issuing 34 current and former Essendon players with 12-month bans for doping violations in 2012 will escalate this week.

The AFL’s new pariahs are consigned to the stands across all levels of competitive sport this season. Affected clubs such as Port are canvassing legal options.

It is understood that some former Essendon players no longer on AFL lists are today in the process of finalising action against the Bombers. Current Essendon players could also support legal action.

Nope not over by a long shot, deregister this shitstain of a club.

If he gets involved in Essendon's corner,it would make things interesting.

You sound happy about drug cheats trying to find a loop hole to get off, not that it's going to reach that stage anyway I tell you what though I'm going enjoy watching this club tear itself apart.

I wonder how long it's going to take the club to turn on the players once they get to court point to CAS findings and say but you've been found guilty of doping , yes it's going to get very messy.
