I wonder if Worsfold has a get out clause. I hope not I can't wait for Freo to pump them by 20 goals.
It's not too bad for him. He has a year to experiment with his game plans without any expectations of them performing well. And he gets to try out a bunch of youngsters and give them AFL experience.I wonder if Worsfold has a get out clause. I hope not I can't wait for Freo to pump them by 20 goals.

Crowley might get a gig for them as a top up player.
Pretty stupid decision by Hooker to stay at the Bombers really.
You could say hindsight is a wonderful thing but this was always a good chance of happening.

The Watsons are the kings of Kool-aid, they be getting the players around now and saying 'shh shh everything is fine. We are all fine, its gonna be ok.' Thet truth is its serious basket case time for that 'club' for a good while.

I wonder will they get further draft sanctions. They shouldn't be allowed to profit from this with early draft picks, assuming they finish bottom.
The best bit about this is St Kilda losing Carlisle for a year after giving up pick 5 lol.

Do Port,Saints Melbourne get top up players . Unfair if they don't and Essendon do.
We better not lose a top 4 spot or something to Geelong with them getting to play this rabble twice.
Menegola would be pissed. He would have played every game for Essendon if he wasn't picked by Geelong.
Port lose Ryder and Monfrees which is good though

Actually the AFL tried to help Essendon out at every stage. The issue lies with the fact that Hird would not accept the facts and bought Little on to fight every step of the way.
In reading the interim report anyone with half a brain could deduce that apart from other banned substances that were possibly taken the players had in all liklihood and with a strong evidence chain been given TB4.
At that point Essendon should have rolled over. Sacked Hird, the board resigned and the players taken a ban for the first month or so of the following season.
But Hird convinced the board to be stupid and fight.
The AFL's issues arose as the tribunal made one of the most bizarre decisions ever and cleared them. If that was under direction then the AFL has issues. Remember you can only do so much when some idiot insists on taking you to court every five minutes.
Hilarious! Get a player fresh off a drug ban to replace players now on drug bans! Comedy gold!!!

You might have some mates and ties to the club, but the club has just f%%d you - you wouldn't want to stick around.
Would be a great replacement for Johno / Dawson

Everyone at that club lost the plot but at the end of the day these guys are young husbands, brothers, sons, father's who have been through hell and back and now had the axe fall on life as they know it. Pretty bloody harsh because they ended up at a dodgy club with a dodgy coach and dodgy administrators. I feel seriously bad for them and a little empathy wouldn't go astray with some of you guys as well.
Who has done worse in the context of the game?

As supporters we all love our clubs . We as supporters have no say in the running of clubs. I feel for the Essendon supporters who have been fed the clubs spin for the past 3 years , believed it ,are now totally shattered and face years in the AFL wilderness.

Meth is a recreational drug. These players were found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs. In terms of the game, this is much, much worse than anything Ben Cousins (or anybody else) has done.
