Keep draft picks.. Er no.
That punishment would alter reality too much, which makes it not much of a penalty.
These charges need to be hit with a harder punishment than anything the league has ever seen.
Yep, because if someone rehired him then they could be busted for bringing the game into disrepute by not doing adequate background checks.

After the player exodus and player and manager law suits,
Wait, there's WADA on the horizon

Essendon engaged in unbecoming conduct to gain an advantage.
This is FAR FAR worse than what Adelaide did.
The thing I don't get in all this is how all the Essendon fans can just disregard the absolute contempt their players have been dealt with throughout this whole sordid affair. You should be ropeable.
Sorry, I didn't read the article. But if it did come down to a trade off between the picks and the points then I'd rather lose the points.
They wont, that is still to come.
I am glad ASADA and WADA are still to hand down their report, I am sick of Bomber supporters wanting a deal done now that charges have been laid, I actually want the truth to come out, no back room deals, from what I have seen so far there is very tough times ahead for the EFC and the players regardless of any short term deal with the AFL.
Essendon are accused of actually cheating to gain an advantage.
Stop inventing a distinction between 'Essendon' and 'Essendon staff, acting on behalf of Essendon, at Essendon premises and using Essendon funds'. There is no such distinction.

Of course you'd be happy with that. You'd be happy with a $44 fine and the loss of your 2013 Round 5 pick too.
What Essendon has done is unprecedented in the history of the VFL/AFL, and by the time this is over you won't be happy with the punishment/s at all, both from the AFL and later from ASADA. Be assured, there will be no outcome that you'll be 'happy' with.

Large fine

mass player walk out

But surely that guilty itch way way down in the bottom of your gut, you know, where it feels as if your pancreas is pulling upon a grappling hook caught on the underside of your aorta, would eventually cause you to reconsider where, or rather how your misguided loyalty and blind devotion lies?
I know it will, I cheated on my girlfriend when I was 15, yet I still get regular night tremors due to this act.
Given the choice, Id cheat on my first love again every second night before buying into the deluded faith of your ilk.
She was a Bombers fan too BTW.
There's not a snowball's chance in hell of Thompson being caretaker coach. After getting caught up in all this crap, I think he'll give football away at the end of year.
Ah gotcha, and I can understand that. But it HAS to be more. If you dont lose draft picks too then you have to play for nothing next year, if you are in the comp. IF you are in the comp then you have to be able to play for points next year or its a farce.
Draft picks, loss of points for this year, no finals, huge fine, admin banned, and then wait for ASADA to determine the players fate. Absolute minimum.

Not really, both teams would like to make the 8 on their own merits, not default. We are playing in our prison bar, last game at footy park. Should be enough for some sting.
You gotta move on.
At that time everyone was over the Cap that could afford it. That's why they had a moratorium for those that come clean. That's why I've never jumped on Essendon in 1993 given the rest of us were doing it too.

Yep.
Reported on SEN that he AFL want a 12 month suspension - Essendon only want 6.
It shits me that Essendon are allowed to negotiate their punishment, yet Carlton got hammered by the AFL. Not saying we didn't deserve it, but what Essendon has done is far worse.
