HUN reporting that Mr Ego along with his band of merry legal eagles will front the AFL commission at 2pm

From the HUN:

Essendon clings to hope of retaining draft picks, expected to lose premiership points
by: Jon Ralph, staff writers
From: Herald Sun August 26, 2013 1:07PM

ESSENDON coach James Hird is due to front the AFL Commission at 2pm.

Hird and his legal team, including human rights campaigner Julian Burnside SC, are expected to tell the commission that his Supreme Court action challenging the Commission’s right to hear charges against the Bombers star has not been withdrawn.

The Commission is expected to detail proposed penalties against Hird, most likely a 12-month suspension from any AFL activity, and precise details of the formal charges.

It would be open to Hird then to back away from his court action and to accept the sanction, as part of a wider Essendon penalties package, or to declare he will fight on in court.

Hird has claimed he has been denied natural justice by the AFL and said the AFL Commission, including CEO Andrew Demetriou, should be barred from considering charges against him.

SEN saying they are hearing ...

Corcoran - 3 month suspension

Thompson - a fine

Reid - a fine ..... although if there's a compromise he'll stand down.

Nothing yet about Hird or Essendon as a whole.

Seems very light on for Corcoran - seeing he is the main follower of Mr Ego

Fine form Bomber sounds about right, he's biggest mistake was not following things through when he said program must stop and he didn't bother to check if it had in fact stopped  :P

Ditto with Reid, if he had quit when he said he wans't happy he'd be a hero by now

As for Mr Ego - ban him forever

Mark Stevens on Ch7 gain said the penalties will be the toughest in the history of the game  :clapping

Again said for the Bombers:

- multi million $$ done
- loss of 2013 points
- lost of 1st & 2nd round draft picks for 2013 & 2014  :clapping :clapping

For the 4 amigos

- Hird suspension
- Corcoran suspension
- Thompson fine
- dr Reid - slap on the wrist possible fine

Whackety whack whack   ;D

Over the weekend I listened to many people in the community and some commentators going to pains to to say that what Essendon did was not cheating..I must admit I have also found it difficult to define cheating.If what Essendon did was not cheating then it surely was gross incompetence.
can you be penalised(like the dons will) for being incompetent?

Absolutely, your incompetence puts the health and safety of your employees (players) at risk you can and should be punished.
