Correct ramps.
The Bombers have negotiated a PP at the end of Rnd 1 2014 draft.
Essendon about to appear at the press conference, fox better show it!

That's rubbish.

So they are out of 2014 draft but get pick 19.

That's absolute crap.

They have been reamed Daniel. Sure it could have been worse but they have been reamed.

I'm looking forward to part 2 now.
That is watching the club slowly disintegrate over the next 5-10 years.
The club is pushing the line that Jimmy took one for the club. Not all Essendon people are going to buy that though, especially if Essendon are 0-8 next year!

Paul Little addresses the media:-

"we have learnt our lesson"....

Ummm, two days ago you said you didnt deserbe any sanctions. A few hours ago you were fighting the punishment. So at what time did this genuine and coincidental group epiphany of humble remorse kick in today? 

Amatuer hour meets scripted bs

[one-eyed]

Little now doing his press conference:

* Outcome is fair.

* Accepts the Club made mistakes.

* Claims the finalised charges are very different to the charge sheet released last Wednesday.

* The final charges only relate to failings of governance and people management; not mention of drug cheating or that anyone at club deliberately set out to use WADA banned substances.

* Hird will be coach in 2015. Will in fact be back for the 2014 finals if they make it.

* Hird negotiated on his own. He was remorseful and took responsibility for his role in what went wrong.

* Reid will still fight to clear his name.

* Simon Goodwin will coach against us and they will now set up a process to find a senior coach for 2014.

* No implications for their VFL side.

* No player has failed drug tests. There have been no infraction notices given to the players and nor does Little believe there will be anything.

LOL at Robbo asking "why did Essendon roll over?" .... ummm because they were guilty as hell Robbo you nitwit!

Exactly Ramps

And the truth will set you free

And BTW Andy D made it very clear ASADA are still investigating and charges could result once the investigation is complete. Don't get too comfy EFC players

Incorrect Little. Their was mention of use of potential banned substances by Fitzpatrick

Simple question for Hird -

Why did it take six months for you to finally admit you were in the wrong all along after initially saying you took full responsibility but then spent the next six months fighting the AFL and ASADA and putting yourself above the game and allowing the game to needlessly suffer damage to its reputation and standing?

As for Little - your club is a even bigger joke. That after all this and the penalties you've copped tonight, you still want the man mainly responsible to come back after his 12-month suspension and coach your club again . 

The loss of draft picks will hurt the Bombers more than anything else. Probably not so much in the next 24 months, as 1-2 year players don't make up a significant chunk of the side, but in 5 years when their core group won't have the quality coming through in that middle age bracket.

Coach can coach next year finals

Priority draft picks

Disgustingly soft.

I hope all the other clubs decide not to trade with the bombers. Let the bludgers stay with what they have. They have to cut 3 players anyway so they will pick up 3 duds via the draft this year and next year if they dont pick a good player with there comp selection they will be picking another 3 duds. 6 duds over 2 years and there players will be older as well. So no one should trade with them and let them go under slowly.

And to think Knights got sacked by Essendon for a mere elimination final loss!

They have to cut 3 players anyway

That's 3 potential court cases against the bombers

It will be no different to any other year trading with Essendon. Dud players in exchange for first or second round picks.
Honestly I can't see Us, Hawthorn, Carlton or Collingwood trading with them.
