Bombers set to miss 2013 finals. (The Age, Caroline Wilson, 23/8)

[Whiskers]

No point taking points off them in 2014.
Also not point taking draft picks off them for the next 2 years...

Why?

Well WHEN the players are handed their infraction notices on a variety of drugs, most of the 2012 playing list WILL received a penalty of minimum 1 year and likely 2 years per palyer. If AFL go soft and prescribe penalty of only 1 year then WADA will appeal to CAS. 4 or more infraction notices should see the Club deregistered from the AFL for minimum 2 years. The world is watching people...AFL is the peoples game of Australia, the AFL cannot go soft on this!

2014 - Banned from AFL competition. VFL team allowed. EFC to honour all player contracts.

2015 - Banned from AFL competition. VFL team allowed. EFC to honour all player contracts.

2016 - EFC reinstated back into AFL (if they are still in existence due to onoging litigation from players, families & regulators) enter the draft with all their picks but get their draft picks at the end of rounds.

2017 - As above all draft pick but end of the rounds.

2017 - As above except first round pick still at end of round.

2018 - Back to normal without any restrictions.

Goneski!

Next best vfl side?
That being the Matthew Knights led Geelong vfl??

wtf? so you must think that the crows were r*ped? we didn't breach the salary cap and we promised to underwrite a sponsorship deal but never actually did it and we lost draft picks for two years!!!! please tell me you were high when you typed this....

Adelaide volunteered the picks and probably laid down a little too easily there. Esp giving up 2 years worth. I thought it was a bit much given that a)It wasnt that bad in the end, and b)Tippet was allowed to leave the club.

Gillon McLachlan about to nuke Hird out of existence by leaking more alegations that will put the AFL world in another head spin if Hird doesn't accept penalties. *popcorn*

Where did you hear this?

Nah. He means that Essendon will still be allowed to field a team in the VFL.

Adelaide negotiated the punishment with the AFL.

Just like what Essendona are doing but kept out of the public eye.

It's in the wires now look it up.

 

[Maddog1980]

Whatever happnes to Hird now with the AFL disrepute charge it is nothing compared to what he is going to cop at the end of the ASADA report and handing out of infraction notices.

He will get LIFE ban for sure, AFL just want rid of him now also...

 

[HBF]

It's in the wires now look it up.

Thanks pinot.
Will do.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Has anyone actually stopped to think that the reason *Essendon would accept a deal on sanctions from the AFL after all their bluster may be that what is NOT out in the public domain could be much much uglier ?

The special FC edition on Wednesday said the AFL had alot more that they hadn't released.

It just goes to show how crap our administration is....couldn't negotiate their way out of a paper bag

Adelaide were still a bit hasty in accepting those charges. It was a minor misdemeanour in the end. And they paid for it when he left for a different team than the one they were trying to fend off.

If it works for essendon, then kudos for playing this out in the media.

Not really. The charges being released has really damaged the Essendon brand.

Impossible - I am not privy to any other details I just know if Hird doesn't accept penalties Gillon will leak more allegations to the media.

Wowee. Crikey. Jeepers.

We probably had our penalty increased following the closed door session.

 

[Bluez Rule]

You do reaise Hird was born in Columbia right?

I thought it was Mexico, ........maybe New Mexico......no..... Mexico. yeah Mexico.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Take no joy in any of this sorry, sorry tale.

No winners, just lesser losers.

Yeah I keep thinking of Brendan Goddard, seems bloody unfair for him.

 

[Crawb]

Have a spell

I agree. That's just stupid.


I mean I wouldn't allow Essendon back into the competition until 2017....and even then that's being rather lenient

 

[Black Flag]

the proposed penalties seem very soft.

at least 4 years of draft exclusions seems fair.... then long (over 1 year) bans and heavy fines. don't really care about points taken away, they're not going anywhere this year.

and Trigg still thought we got lucky ha ha...what a w***er he is
