Remember it well - he was charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

AFL and Essendon should be shamed mercilessly for this. The guy was 18 at the time. Only tried to find out what exactly he was injected with. Now they intend to push him over the edge.

AFL and EFC (and AFLPA) are hoping the 12 left at Essendon return next year, but surely stuff like this make that next to impossible. I've heard talk 5 or more will be launching actions sooner rather than later and will definitely elsewhere next year.

Yes. Delisted Free Agents - so EFC (thankfully) don't even get compensatory draft picks. It's gonna be quite a shitstorm through the year as it becomes more apparent AA quality players like Hooker, Heppell, Hurley etc are on the market and available for free - hope they lose all 12.

Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players
The similarities between how the AFL runs and the Chinese government works is scary.
No in-bound communication. You can't call them and register a complaint. They will contact you.
They have their own media channels and anointed spokespeople.
They are completely right ( Tanking, supplements) even when the facts stare them in the face - because they are the AFL.
All free speech is stifled. If I go to the footy with a banner that says the wrong thing, I'm out.
Dare to oppose them in court if you want. Good luck.
The culture that surrounds them is so fanatical you can't get any air-time.

5. Who was Dr Reid's letter addressed too?
6. Who was involved in the meeting regarding the consent forms with players?
7. Who was receiving texts from Dank regarding the program?
8. Once the protocols were put in place who did Reid have to give recommendations regarding substances?
Right on Sedat. One more. And why did you say at your initial press conference that the buck stops with you?

According to a well connected guy on BF, 6 players will sue the club (5 are currently there).

That was in the paper this morning. It said that six players are advanced with plane for seperate actions with 5 of them keen to go sooner rather than later. If it were me I'd be getting in ASAP and getting my award ASAP before EFC goes broke. Or enters into a scheme where they pay out so much in the dollar. St Kilda did it in the 1980s when they were close to bankruptcy.
