    Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players

    Don't like this from the Age article:

    Fairfax Media was still trying to ascertain those 2012 players who have avoided show-cause notices on Thursday night. The club had 46 players on its senior and rookie lists in 2012, and have 29 players from 2012 - including rookies - on its list now. A number of players have left the club, including Angus Monfries, now at Port Adelaide, and Stuart Crameri, now at the Bulldogs. It is believed Monfries and Crameri have both received notices.

    Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players

    I have been quite vocal about my views with in my group about this, in regards to Crameri. I will be furious at our club if they have not entered something in his contract to protect us.

    At this stage, I am pretty P off about it. We do not need this. It will could prove costly to us.

    I think heads would have to roll in a scenario where we lose a player in these circumstances. It'd be terribly unfortunate but a fair chunk of the Football Dept would have to be held accountable.

    Hopefully the Club went in with a few options to safe guard our investment, or have grounds to bleed EFC dry if there are any. Not certain of how it all works.

    Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players

    What else did we expect? It seriously is a case of 'buyer beware' and if we get stung it sits on no ones shoulders but our own. I like Stew and think he has been a good pick up but we knew what we were getting into. I'd have a vastly different opinion if the ASADA stuff came out after we'd made our enquiries but as is we'll have to cop sweet whatever comes.

    I'm really enjoying the measured, intelligent and diverse debate on this issue here on WOOF.

    Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players

    Players that have been given show-cause notices can simply cooperate fully with ASADA and they could get their sanctions cut by as much as half. I know what I'd be advising Crameri, Gumbleton and Monfries to do if I was their current employer. And what will the likes of Reimers, Lonergan and other potentially disgruntled ex players do? I'm guessing that they will sing like canaries, then the current players will follow, being faced with minimum 2 years away from their job, then surely legal action will be taken against the club by angry players being denied their livelihood. That's when things will get interesting for EFC.

    Yep I can see this moving from ASADA v Essendon to Players v Essendon pretty quickly. The foundations of the club will be rocked and it will all be the responsibility of one man. Their messiah.

    Now the question becomes how long this will be dragged through the courts for? Are we even going to get a decision for the next 24 months?

    Good point Lemmon.

    Gerard Whateley on 360 pointed out that this whole episode ruined 2013 for the dons, will likely ruin 2014 and if they go down the legal route, you can potentially knock out 2015 and 2016 as well.

    Anyone see the Little presser - he is playing the 'essendon is the victim' card. FFS the club has brought this on themselves. Sure there maybe issues with the whole process but the players are the concern not Essendon FC as a whole.
