Reported on AFL Today that AFL is saying the Peptide Bummers can be payed OUTSIDE of the Salary Cap.
IF that Happens the AFL is Officially a Joke of a Organisation by Supporting a Drug Cheating Team

It's gonna be interesting to watch the relationship between the club and those players over the long haul. Who stays? Who demands a trade or walks through free agency etc?

They would also get paid at other clubs though, possibly more in some cases. The reality is that their football club is responsible for them losing an entire year off their career. Why on earth would they stay?

Legally? Because doing media work in a television studio does not fall within the limits of his suspension.
Ethically? Because the media have no shame.

Well, in any case, the club has ended up screwed on-field for a number of years, and that gives me a good feeling as it's only the games that really matter to me.Plus Media thinks they Done nothing wrong as they think they are GOOD GUYS
gonna enjoy that music next week
And the brainwashed Essendon players and footy insiders like Beveridge / Gordon are still towing the party line....
In the Supreme Court on Monday, a jury found that Stephen Dank, a name familiar to all of us, administered banned peptides CJC-1295 and GHRP-6 to NRL players.
He was found to have acted with “reckless indifference to (Jon) Mannah’s life by administering him with peptides while he was in remission for cancer”.
Jon Mannah, you will recall, was the Cronulla player diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2009 who took a brief spell from the game to fight his illness.
He returned to play for Cronulla, including five games in 2011 when Dank was at the club, but suffered a relapse of his cancer and died in 2013.
By administering those peptides, the Court also found on Monday, Dank “accelerated Mannah’s death from cancer”.
The jury also found that Dank had administered dangerous and cancer causing supplements to Jon Mannah and other football players thereby exposing them to risk”.

This is really scary.
Paddy Ryder was right to question what the effects maybe on his health in later life
Most of the Essendon 34 must have concerns

If my employer were the kind to give me drugs, the 'good stuff', then a year off on full pay, I'd never leave.
You would think so but till now (to the outside world) it doesn't look like it.
I wonder if this case and the upcoming 4 Corners episode starts to shift the industry thinking away from the insular / protectionist attitude to looking after those that need it and ensuring it never happens again.
That's one way to look at it!
Except if you came back to work and realised you're so out of touch with the industry and that a young up-and-comer had surpassed you, and your contract was over or running out... well, I don't think those feelings would stick around for long.

Most footy players just want to play footy. It's like purgatory for them.
