I think you are wrong or at the very least, be more specific.

Players not on the Essendon list prior to 2012 can only play in Morwell and not in the "practice match"

Ahhh, that explains it.

If you are NOT a 2012 player and you play, you must play for the A team in Morwell.
If you ARE a 2012 player and you play, you can play in the B team in the 'training session' against Williamstown.
If you ARE NOT an 2012 player, you can not rip off St Kilda, the Morwell public, Fox Sports and anyone else by choosing to play at Windy Hill tonight instead of Morwell tomorrow.

Would find it Hilarious if ASADA proposed to the tribunal it was a VFL Practise match and the provisional suspension starts from that date

THE AFL has banned Essendon players - apart from the club's 2012 list - from taking part in so-called 'competitive training drills' against VFL club Williamstown on Friday.
There had been speculation the Bombers were planning an unofficial practice match against the Seagulls, fielding their planned team for the opening round of the premiership season, while sending a second-tier team, including its top-up players to Morwell for the NAB Challenge.
But after discussions with the club, the AFL insists it will not be a practice match, and only players from the 2012 list can be involved – ruling out the likes of Brendon Goddard.
"We've made it very, very clear for the players who weren't at Essendon in 2012, they can't participate in that activity," the League's football operations manager Mark Evans told AFL.com.au's First Bounce show.
"It wasn't agreed to under those principles. We would have thought if Brendon Goddard was to play any competitive football, then that would be in Morwell," Evans said.

Foxtel has paid for the right to broadcast the game. Morwell patrons are paying to watch AFL footballers.
Essendon has no respect for anyone. Pathetic.

St Kilda getting shafted, too
I'm curious why there is no outrage about the OH&S concerns for poor little VFL players from Williamstown doing competitive drills against big, nasty AFL players.

So let me get this straight. They can't play against St Kilda because if they are under Provisional suspension, their backdating penalty will be affected. But they CAN play against Williamstown. WT actual F? And does this not then compromise their anonymity?

As a kid growing up in western suburbs Adelaide I always drove home from school down manton street. The old school hindmarsh stadium had the white backlit cinema style sign advertising the next NSL fixture. Sometimes it'd be West adelaide v Morwell, or Adelaide City v Morwell. As a 10 year old I'd ask myself - where the * is Morwell?I think the most pressing question is.... where the hell is Morwell?
Still have NFI too.

They're like that sleazy dirtbag in the pub that won't go away, always probing around the edges looking for a way in.
Common sense prevails.
Surely essendon fans must be able to admit it was a silly move.
I'd want my club to pull its head in, no special allowances, play by the rules.
Good show of strength by the AFL, hope BJ plays, fans out there deserves good show.
