As more information comes out it becomes clear that the Essendon FC can not continue exists in the form it takes now , a merger with Melbourne or Bulldogs could be an option . Perhaps relocating Cairns or Indonisia could be a good fit for the Scum .
Congratulations to the morally bankrupt Essendon supporters for hanging on the the dead carcass that remains

Check out this crap.

15 "golden rules" for answering ASADA's questions. Number one was to "tell the truth".

The introduction explained that ESP, which manages Essendon captain Jobe Watson and seven other Bomber players, commissioned the document to assist and prepare its clients for "the most serious investigation any athlete is likely to face". After noting that "so far as ESP is aware no Essendon player has recorded an anti-doping violation" due to a positive test, the document highlighted how confessions to use of prohibited substances would be "the best way for an investigator to prove an anti-doping violation".

Two "types" of ASADA investigations are outlined – one relating to cases where athletes have returned a positive test, and the other where doping violations are proved through admissions.

"It is one matter to admit that you received an injection. It is an entirely different matter to admit that you received an injection of a specific substance which is prohibited," the document says.

After highlighting the World Anti-Doping Agency's position that athletes are ultimately responsible for whatever enters their bodies, and two-year bans if doping violations are proved, it is stressed in bold that "these provisions only apply after an anti-doping violation has been established".

The written advice ESP provided for the Bombers it represents – which was subsequently circulated among the broader playing group and shared with the AFL Players Association, which briefed players separately – also encouraged players to be calm in their interviews, give short, focused answers and to discuss what they "knew at the time, not what you have found out later".

Point 12 in the "golden rules" for the ASADA interviews, in which some players have been grilled for 2½ hours and others released after 45 minutes, reads: "Remember the investigator is trying to obtain admissions from you."

Their defence is set. Yes we all had a whole heap of injections. No we don't know what we had. The consent forms are filled away with the docs letter. Damn governance, I wish we could cooperate more

 

[LT Smash]

The simple answer will be to find the players innocent and to ban Essendon for 2 years.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

The PR machine would have you think *Essendon are fully cooperating, however this document just shows that they have all had a chance to get their answers aligned with each other and deny, deny deny.

Yep and the key part of the deal will be that Hird goes. That's what ASADA will recommend. Players skate but the club must cop sever sanctiions and everyone involved the program goes.

Andy D will take the deal because he knows that he simply can't have players banned.

But then he's going to have to slay Bambi as the final act of his career.

I love it.

Which is exactly what happened at the NRL club leading to ASADA cancelling player interviews. The lack of co-operation brought about an increased determination from ASADA investigators to absolutely poleaxe the players.

[Hearts to hearts]

I'm tired. But whatever our club is, it is honestly. I can be frustrated, disappointed, but not ashamed.
