And so it starts. What information will this player accuse Essendon and the AFL with ? If EFC did nothing wrong, did not inject there players with anything harmful/performance enhancing, how then can this player have a case ?

Is this player sitting on a house of cards argument or is Essendon's case a house of cards ?

/discuss.

Former player, as in retired or not currently at the Bombers.

Wild guess time, Ryder?

Nah I would say it's someone who's a bit more strapped for cash.

But, but, I thought all the issues arising from the club's doping programme were screwed down in to a single tribunal determining guilt over tb4. This is supposed to be over on the 31st, and people will respect Essendon again!
To be fair, it was suppose to be over within 5 minutes of the tribunal starting

This will never end...Should of been over with 2 years ago when someoone said the truth will comeout...Lmao what truth

Your post doesn't quite make sense but I think I know what you're getting at. And on that logic, it would still be going regardless.

Now the real game starts - up until now, even including the current Tribunal case, it has been shadow boxing. Limited to a single drug.

Although it is unlikely to do so, I really hope this gets all the way to the court so as we may have a fuller understanding of what went on than we will ever have out of the current hearing.

Interesting that it includes Essendon.

We've heard a lot of 'the AFL were the bad guys here' and 'the AFL had a duty of care to the players' but none of it has been directed at Essendon - much to the bemusement of many of us.

So this is interesting.

FWIW, it's probably the only way the truth will come out. We had a sniff that it would when Robinson sued them, but of course the club shut that down. I wonder how they'll play this one...

First thought, possible test case with others waiting to see the results before going down the same path or possibly a shot across the bow of the AFL to make all this go away

It will be interesting to see the claims against the AFL, to see what they are based on and whether they have any merit other than for putting pressure on the AFL.

Nothing to see here yet but hopefully once the action is lodged with the court we will see something of interest.
