No doubt retires as a champion..... in the eyes of Essendon flogs and the sycophantic AFL media that is....retires in disgrace as far as everyone else is concerned... :shh

Why they let them do it is just mindboggling it shows how much faith these guys have in the people that run the club. And Why the doc got off scott free is still baffling.

Coming clean and giving back the medal much much earlier. Once the evidence was in it was pretty obvious but to hold out saying it's not 100% definitive just smacked of hubris. Farewell to a tarnished very good player.
