As much as I can't stand that woman, I hope one of the AFL's penalties is a forced apology to Caroline Wilson.

Reports of a peace deal from the AFL to essendon. Hird will be forced to stand-down. They lose all points from THIS season but RETAIN THEIR DRAFT PICKS. Absolute slap on the wrist if true. Getting away with murder

Their will be no slap on the wrist over all. The AFL can only do so much in terms of penalties.

I await the downfall of Essendon from WADA/Worksafe/Civil action/lost membership and sponsorship revenue.

I don't always agree with her, but SEN have one particular presenter who has made it an art form to slander her on a constant basis.

Caroline has been like a dog at a bone with this and rightly so.

Good on her, some of the media commentary has reeked of looking after " mates" and one giant boys club at play. Radio SEN's coverage has reeked of looking after "Tim" and Essendon.
Fairness to AW( not a fan of the station) has covered it with more balance

Did anyone see this strange tweet early this morning. He kind of retracted it afterwards to a few people but I bristled when I read it.

I'm sure Peter Gordon is keen to protect AFL handout to Doggies. Just appointed President & he is the mouthpiece? Won 10% "sling" from AFL.

The pressure is building. Little looks likely to cut his losses and cop loss of points and the suspension of Hird.
