Quite possible the laywers will just think of a scary number and then settle for a fraction. Would still add up to a massive wack to *. Going to court is unpredictable. Screwing over the players would not look good in the papers and could cost them more from bad publicity.

The problem is that any lawyer (and client) has to certify that their claim has a proper basis before it starts. I would hope most lawyers wouldn't risk their practicing certificate by starting baseless claims....I certainly wouldn't.
Anyway, if nothing else, it's highlighting just how appalling Essendon's behavior was.

I am reading it as health issues based on unknown substances and his desire for information to be released as to what they were given
His career was basically ended by injuries. They may be formulating an argument that the supplement program was the cause... But he can't prove his case if he doesn't know what he was given.
No way in hell will Akermanis get the gig... "The interview" is all for show just because Essendon know that Aker will blab about it and the process. For a club who have had too much media attention for the wrong reasons the last 3 years and now need to invest in re-embracing their members, supporters and the AFL general public bringing in Aker will bring up headlines for them again for the wrong reasons... they won't touch him.
It's a start I guess.
But * are pleading guilty because to do otherwise would mean providing testimony & other evidence that could be used against them in other proceedings.

At some stage they will need to produce evidence which they claim to have but you could safely assume they don't if it hasn't been used already.
When their bluff is finally called, the walls on their house of cards will collapse.

Probably a big fan of conspiracy theories. Also believes we never went to the moon, Elvis is still alive and journalists don't read BF for material to write about.

Elvis invented ASADA to discredit Essendon due to their refusal to keep quiet about the fake moon footage he produced.
