Essendon face AFL probe/Players found Guilty by CAS

[Smokey]

FWIW, I don't reckon the AFL will strip them of points this season.  It's a given that if the sanctions include stripping them of 2013 points then the Bummers will immediately lodge an application for a court injunction which will stop the AFL from carrying out the sanctions until the injunction is heard.  Knowing the court system, that will take until well after the finals have started and the AFL won't want the controversy and muck up that would be created by having the injunction heard then so I reckon they will take the safer option of preventing them from getting points in 2014 (as well as some draft and financial penalties).  Allows time for any court action to play out without any disruption to the playing season.  Just my layman's opinion.

Awesome for the game, that drug cheats are permitted to play, not only the year but finals.
What a smooth operation the afl is.........

Do thinking its a grubby wp?

Charles only took gear once yo get back  from injury - himself

Efx The club systematicly cheated to make people bigger stronger

Killed Richmond too. Like losing maric right now

What about their players?

I wasn't asked about the players I was asked about Essendon which I answered

As for the players I don't believe they will be suspended/banned.

Again not saying I agree with that (I don't) but IMV they will not get banned.

I believe each of them who took the banned stuff (and that isn't all of them from what's been reported) should at a minimum be issued with infraction notices without penalties being imposed. Again IMV that's not good enough but at least if that was to happen their records would show they took banned substances eg ADO - whatever it is...

Personal view is they should all cop a suspension of at least 12-16 weeks (12-16 H&A games) for blatant stupidity and blind faith in going along with this stupid program. There isn't a doubt in my mind that if anyone else had of been coach of the EFC and did this (1) the players would have arked up and said NO and (2) the Club wouldn't have approved it

2 years bans

if its good enough for Travis Casserly and Justin Charles...

Justin Charles got 16 weeks not 2 years

Casserley got what he deserved for the very reason Essendon players should cop bans STUPIDITY

Casserly had bad cold before wafl gf - in danger of missing the game.

What efc have done is a far dirtier deed

[WilliamPowell]

Can I not ask additional questions or am I to far below you as you are a mod?

You can no but need for the condescending snipe though 

Sorry I misunderstood you  I'm a  I

I thought you were asking why I hadn't included anything about the players in my first post because you quoted it 

Do thinking its a grubby wp?

Yes i do that's why I think the punishment of the Club needs to be far more severe than the punishment of the players. They used the players as guinea pigs and that is far worse.

Charles only took gear once yo get back  from injury - himself

Hold on a minute and I am not defending the EFC but there has been no proof they took PED's to "make people bigger stronger"; banned sunstances yes but PED's we don't know that for sure.

Charles (who I know) took anibolic steriods yes to get over an injury but he took a PED - he copped his right whack

Casserly had bad cold before wafl gf - in danger of missing the game.

Which makes the Casserley situation worse, he took something that every AFL footballer and he is an EX AFL footballer dont forget knows you cannot take. He deserved what he got being so totally stupid and then crying naivety, he was stupid very very stupid

Alastair Lynch was on roids for "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" and was never questioned.
Is it coincidence he became huge?
What an A$$hole.

Agree they could challenge but not if they do a deal like Melb did who's is possible too

Supposedly Demons were going to take them to court if they were found guilty of "tanking". Dees were fined for something but not tanking.   

If I was the AFL I'd be saying you take us to court we will revoke your license

Not correct (•))(©™ , Lynch did face the tribunal after he admitted that one of the meds he was on for CFS contained a banned substance.

Granted he got off without suspension but he certainly faced the tribunal was fond guilty just no penalty
