SEN keep saying an announcement by the AFL is "very soon".

Essendon is willing to accept them not playing in this year's finals. They still have issues with the wording of the charges and loss of draft picks over two years.

According to SEN, the media scrum outside AFL House has grown in the last 30 minutes so it looks a decision a "imminent".

They believe the announcement tonight will definitely include that Essendon is out of the finals. It's the rest they don't know about and discussions on that front may go on into the night once again.

Essendon will not play finals this year as AFL talks continue

    Mark Robinson
    From: Herald Sun
    August 27, 2013 5:11PM

ESSENDON is officially out of finals after a deal was reached after two days of talks with the AFL.

It's understood Essendon officials, James Hird, Mark Thompson and Dr Bruce Reid, have not had their situations resolved.

It's believed head of football Danny Corcoran will be suspended for four months.

Thompson departed AFL House about 5pm and indicated strongly the club had agreed to stand down from playing finals.

Other penalties for Essendon linked to the 21012 supplements are expected to be announced tonight.

So did he indicate or is it official? ::)

How can you do "deals" on this type of situation?

Unbelievable

Robbo has update his article:

It’s understood the Bombers have come to an agreement with the AFL which will include the loss of draft picks across two years.

An insider described the AFL as "not backing down’’

ESSENDON assistant coach Mark Thompson doesn't believe Essendon will be playing in this year's finals series.

But in the first sign the supplement saga stalemate been the AFL and Essendon could soon be resolved, Thompson said the club was likely to reach an agreement with the AFL by the end of its second day of arduous negotiations over disrepute charges at AFL House.

Thompson, who is one of four Essendon officials charged over the 2012 supplements saga along with the club, said he had no news to report on his negotiations with the League as he left AFL House on Tuesday afternoon.

Asked if he thought the Bombers would be playing finals, Thompson said: "No, I don't."

Asked if he thought the case against Essendon would be resolved on Tuesday evening, Thompson said: "I think it probably will."
