I just hope he backs his words with action, because backdating everything until they only miss a few matches will be a travesty.

I find it laughable that the players want a speedy resolution this this drawn out saga, yet it was their own club that delayed the conclusion by dragging it through the courts.
FMD..
FMD..
One thing i've learned in this saga is there is always another twist .
It appears efc* are running out of avenues and it's to be hoped McDevitt plays a straight bat , no deals , and everyone involved at efc* receive the full force of the law !!
McDevitt has talked the talk now he's gotta walk the walk ... any deals or pissy penalties will have him consigned to history as just another tumbleweed blowing through town .

Cerberus is pissed off tonight
Could well be that the Cronulla players were dealt with as they were because ASADA wanted to get onto the frying of bigger fish.
Still have a gut feel that ASADA are after some scalps here, and I think with the way Hird went after the AFL the AFL may be less inclined to go easy. But even if they do, not sure WADA will stand for it.
But going to the tribunal is all or nothing, because deals are off the table and if two or more players are found guilty the WADA code says that the AFL has to sanction the club.
Little's insistence that all mention of doping be expunged from the charges that they pleaded guilty on last year will come back to bite them I reckon, because they will have to be whacked for doping if the players are.

Reckon the players will get time off during the season say 6 weeks,
Hird & Dank will get life bans
Just my opinion

Can't be, doesn't have the signature exclamation points !!
I absolutely hate the players association, not interested in the good of the game at all - a bunch of money grubbing self interested scum bags.

They believe the AFL – not thrilled by Hird being replaced by another man sanctioned for his role in the Essendon supplements saga – hasn't been backward in coming forward to vocalise its misgivings.

Pretty sure that it has been mentioned that WADA are pretty upset with the way ASADA handled the Cronulla players and the leniency of the suspensions handed out so it will be interesting to see how they handle this lot

Something tasteful
I think they forget they also represent another 700 odd players who have to compete against these drug cheats.
Just an incompetent bunch all round

The AFLPA is having a little sook at the ASADA meanies... for saying that the AFLPA should have been more interested in the players welfare back in 2012 when Essendon* were injecting substances not approved for human consumption.
This is very much the point .
The problem is the AFLPA is owned by the AFL , who will do "whatever it takes" to protect efc* coz efc* are good for AFL business $$$ .
