Essendon fails to gain injunction on ASADA show cause notices. Aug 11 court date set.

[Blues_Man]

Yep on that note, I'm off. Please all keep an accurate run going so I can catch up later.

Toodles.

After a close first half i expect Asada to run away with the Game in the second half, due to having a much stronger midfield ...and Essendons lack of defence.

Which one is martin hardie? which one is BSE? and which one is Mxett?

 

[angrylion1]

All this doing more damage to EFC/Hird etc than a certain Sarah IMHO

What makes people think Clotheir is such a big win?

Unless they have something on him, he will just lie.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

For the love of sanity I hope this isn't *just* quarter time.

The rolling maul and ultra defensive tactics are boring to watch isn't it.

The Essendon lawyer pack has too many outside players

France is a long way outside the pack.

I get the distinct impression Clothier is only allowed in the room when things are above board, and when the AFL actually does their best work Clothier is nowhere to be seen.

Players being forced to take part of the case is by far the most important thing to come out of today.

Judge says he will order it.

Players will now realise they are in deep, and will beg for 6 months.

Sir James returns 28th July. Tullamarine will roll out the red carpet for him on his return

Actually we're getting people to lie down in front so his feet don't have to touch the ground.

The players are potentially punting 3 1/2 years on Hird's Hail Mary

I must have missed him saying he'll order it.

Some excerpts:

11:32am: Essendon's counsel says the club's players are fully aware of the details of the case and do not wish to join other parties in the case. The club does not want players named as respondents. If the case proceeds, an agreed statement of facts will be issued, and the players will be apprised of all issues contained in that statement. Essendon would not oppose representatives of players intervening before the trial if they wish to do so.

Justice Middleton is concerned that players could intervene in the case, and affect its smooth operation.

He is leaving the issue open for a few days to ensure that players will have the opportunity to address the court if they wish to do so.

11:56am: "The players have no desire to be joined, they seek to avoid the expense and the stress," Mr Grace, acting for the players said.

"They are very sensitive to the issue of anonymity."

Justice Middleton encouraged the parties to find a resolution but said he believed the players should remain close to the case.

"I believe the players should have a close involvement in this case so they have the full opportunity to address this court," he said.

"Individually or as a group."

ASADA CEO Ben McDevitt says the boys are winning the one on ones and just want them to put more pressure on the opposition ball carriers

Did the judge rules the players are in on the action. If this doesn't break ranks , nothing will. What would you be doing if you were David Koch, Peter Gordon.

I don't think he did. I think someone is talking out their arse

 

[hirdylloydy1]

the judge never said the players were to be joined, what are you people on? he said he thinks they should, but will not order it

Big call. It is a massive escalation in stakes though.

Would not be surprised to see a sudden change of rhetoric out of Port and Footscray PDQ. And Monfires and Crameri lawyering up. THe time for them to sit back and see what Essendon might acheive that's good for them is pretty much gaaawn.
