I would be happy for Essendon players to get a similar deal and take it as they aren'y to blame. However if they did take the offer that would be the end of Hird once and for all which would be great for football and i think most football supporters would settle for how it all ended so we can move on.
Can you tell me how the "end of Hird" would be "great for football"? A high profile scalp so we can feel like the authority are omnipotent?I would be happy for Essendon players to get a similar deal and take it as they aren'y to blame.

id take a 6 month in season ban, not preseason
I don't know how that can be done, they would have to field a team from the remaining list.
Makes no difference what effect it had. You cheated, you pay the price.We finished nowhere in 2012. So do we get a light penalty to if found guilty?
I think they could argue the legislation that lets you get players in if you can't field a full team. Alternatively does anyone know if they have to have 22 players selected and playing, as in is that the minimum requirement to field a team? Hams & Kommer could be picked and just sit on the bench all day.I am just going on 45 players - 20 leaves 25 maximum. At least 2 others who are 'clear' (Will Hams and Nick Kommer) are out for the season. That gives them 23 players for a 22 man team. And that is only if the AFL let them promote all their rookies.
His argument was the penalty should depend on what the person/club achieved. So in the discussion I was having, it was very relevant. Maybe read it next time before trying to score points.Makes no difference what effect it had. You cheated, you pay the price.

Well well well.
Only 10. Not sure what happens to the other 7.17 players got a three games ban for taking GH derivatives.
They should have bought them an ice-cream instead and hoped for an ice cream headache.
Shameful.
The penalty should reflect what was won. Armstrong won 7 Tour de France titles. Are we to strip the Sharks of their wooden spoon?

USADA released publicly its full reasoned decision into the charges against Armstrong ASADA should now do same in regard to 17 NRL players."
Cool story. I for one don't give a s**t about what's easy for the entire football community to move on. Like these Cronulla players taking token bans to help people move on. Seems stupid to me.Because what he did to his own players was a disgrace, treating them like guinnea pigs just to try and win footy games. If he goes it will be easier for Essendon and the entire football community to move on as quickly as possible !
What you mean he trusted an employee who was in a different reporting line to do the right thing? A guy who the AFL themselves employed?Because if he had taken some time to complete some due dilligence and showed some care for his players, none of this would have happened.
These guys are accused of cheating for 11 weeks of a season where they finished 13th of 16 teams; and Dank's program was shut down by March (about round 2 of the season).
Lance Armstong was accused of cheating for at least 11 years (1995-2005), and compelling his teammates to under the threat of being sacked; bullying witnesses and a host of other such things.
new management broThought this was very interesting:

This ASADA process re NRL players has no resemblance to any process I am familiar with. Sanctions at show cause? Never seen that before
Seems Benny Mc has been taking tips from handsome Gill on dealbrokering and not letting the process get in the way of good outcomes.Thought this was very interesting:
