Any idea why the players lawyers have an extra week to submit their written case?

Guilty with lots of caveats and a token penalty for a couple rounds? They might think they can handle it.
A not guilty verdict would open the AFL up to legal proceedings by players/staff for the trauma of the last two years (I HIGHLY doubt this would happen, but it is a chance). It would also open the communication specialists up to legal action as well (doubt this will happen either).As much as I think the players are innocent, starting to get a bit nervous about what a favourable result for league HQ involves. Hoping I'm being a bit paranoid but any sort of guilty verdict and penalty could be used to justify a lot of the crap that has gone on and finish Hird.

A guilty verdict would also open the AFL (and us) up to legal action. The players will claim that we were negligent in carrying out the program, and that the AFL failed to come in and stop it despite knowing what was happening. Chances of legal action against the AFL and EFC in this case would be very high. A guilty verdict also allows ASADA to appeal a sentence should they deem it light (as can WADA), which ensures this s**t drags on longer. Not just that, you also factor in the TV rights deals, whether we can field a team etc.
There is no "favourable" outcome for the AFL here. We'll have to wait and see what the three judges say
Wildcard finals entry at Carlton's expense next time they make it. I'm not sure many will still be on the list come 2030, but it'll be worth coming out of retirement for one last tilt.The AFL will probably offer the players some type compensation.
So are you saying, that if they the players are suspended, they wouldn't accept James being sacked.
The AFL will be shitting bricks for the next month and a bit.
How can a mass suspension of players be good for the comp? the ramifications are massive not only for EFC but the entire league,sponsors involved etc,etc.

Silly Vlad and Gill didn't think this through fully did they when they orchestrated a narrative and canvassed reports...

Much is made of Jobe's "Good thymomodulin bad thymosin beta 4" omitted evidence . Didn't NLM say similar, that he knew there was a banned one and the one he was taking was believed not to be banned?NLM has already signalled he'll go after the AFL if he's found guilty.
Yeah, i read it. I call bs. Why would you post it and then panic and have it removed? Slander/defamation maybe?
Thanks, Wook. All posts referencing it will be deleted too.It was removed from the HTB as there are serious implications for the person involved. the information should not be available at this time.
Is this the same AFL that manipulated an interim report to only show the possible 'poor evidence' of the club to paint them in a bad light for perceived public approval?The AFL will be shitting bricks for the next month and a bit.

Ahhh A.T. still spruking his mate and how he has solid evidence (that he really relayed to ASADA - fair dinks) that will put us under the bus... and be damned if you don't think it's true and that he's ace.It was removed from the HTB as there are serious implications for the person involved. the information should not be available at this time.

ESSENDON players will refuse to run out for NAB Challenge games unless the AFL guarantees to backdate any anti-doping suspensions to last September.
