I'd forgotten he existed.

Don't really know yet. Anyone's perfectly entitled to take legal action. Doesn't mean anything unless it gets up though.
I don't think it matters who it is.
It obviously can't be relating to banned drugs, as the they haven't been found to have taken banned drugs yet.
So it's unusual that they're going early with the decision to sue. You'd wait wouldn't you in case they get found guilty? Unless of course the ex-player in question knows something we don't?

So you think there's a chance this could be good for Essendon?

Agreed but to join EFC with the AFL in a statement of claim does them no favours
I wonder if there's any benefit in being the first to take legal action?

Didn't N.L.M already say he was gonna do this?

Leads me to think it's a delisted player - can't be banned if you're not playing.
Suits can happen over plenty of other things - reputation damage, stress...
I think you need to understand that most of us hate drug cheats Dappa.

Sit tight, be confident
Do you think Essendon want this to see an open court room?
Lets see how big and rich your club really is hey
This was always going to end badly - ASADA is almost a side show to the real game.

No, but need to be seriously cashed up to fight the AFL, they will move to separate the claim and apportion all blame to EFC.

Yes that's exactly what I meant. Well done on picking up the subtext.
The other interesting thing is half the other AFL clubs already hate Essendon for everything that has happened to date. Wait until money starts flowing out of the AFL for this, effectively meaning the other 17 clubs are paying for Essendon's sins. Essendon are screwed completely.

Has any statement of claim been lodged yet?
Perhaps in the case of others joining in, to make a larger case. But that's a good thing for the players whom feel aggrieved.
Settled in 5 minutes

Requested to who? The court? The media? Good luck with that ...

No you need a strong case that has a snowballs chance in hell of not being settled out of court. Nobody is going to court.
