Rumour Players wants out of Essendon MEGATHREAD - all rumours relating to Dons in here

[lewigie]

Would it be smart to sign a contract, then if you get banned by ASADA you can then sue the club for negligence and get the contract all paid out at once?

Would be a great plan.

What possible reason would there be for anyone with a brain to think that the only reason why Essendon players are actually signing new deals is so they can get payouts should things go pear-shaped?

Pretty naive to actually conjure up that theory.

I use Hooker's signature announcement today as the example.

Hooker has come off the best season of his career. There was no better intercept marker in any club's defence statistically than he was. Some may even suggest he's not only an outside chance at AA selection as a result, but, also high finishes in the Essendon b and f and the club's most improved player. 12 months ago, he was almost certain to be out the door.

Melksham's new deal is in much the same vein as Hooker.

The real reason behind these new deals? The players have earned it. Nothing more and nothing less.

When you base your "rumours" on shit reported in the media, it is easy to see right through it

If infractions are looming re-signing could be the only way to save some careers possibly?

Would Bellchambers signing on at GWS be part of this supposed exodus?

 

[Zerg]

Would Bellchambers signing on at GWS be part of this supposed exodus?

maybe he could join Hurley up there. Or was that Ryder.

Who would trade a player who might have to take a two-year suspension? Bit of a risky gamble to want to leave, but nobody might take the risk in having you! Then where would you be? And I can't see other clubs taking a punt on that!

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

infractions...


lol

That's great that Key Essendon players have resinged, which ones have put pen to paper since it's all happened?

wrong club man, you want the Saints board.

Rumour starting to build that a number of Essendon players are far from impressed about the prospect of James Hird returning to coach them and this was reinforced by the speech he gave to the players post his ban by the AFL. Went down lile a lead balloon with the speech said to be all about him.

The playing group is said to be fractured with a number of groups forming and at least one talking to lawyers about being released due to breach of contract.

Anyone who has contacts in legal circles will have hear similar rumours I suspect.

I've heard there's a lot of "bad-blood" between em.

Vitamin C only, of course.

TBC will sign with GWS because when contracted to a club he can sue for damages when he gets a 2 year ban (match day payments lost)

Haven't you heard its for shizzz
