Reading between the lines looks like the ducks are lining up at the Hun, the slob is nearly finished, won't be long now.

But in the warped moral code of the footy world, the anti-doping agencies upholding the integrity of sport are the bad guys and the players and club the witless victims.
Arguments about CAS supposedly “tampering” with evidence are so laughably asinine, they belong in booze-filled bars and online fan forums. But they are being quietly propagated among some footy officials, and on radio by commentators.
Absurd, too, is the suggestion the CAS verdict has been torn apart by legal experts. Presumably, the same geniuses, who were hopelessly wrong in predicting that players were unlikely to receive infraction notices, in advising them to join the failed Federal Court action, and in opining that they were safe from bans at CAS, are now claiming a Swiss Federal Tribunal appeal is a sound idea.
If the Essendon 34 take some responsibility for their own recklessness, then sports fans will be willing to embrace them. But this current course of action is doomed to end in more tears...
