Where will Essendon be after this saga?

[mxett]

I heard that Dean upgraded his gear to Dos 3.1
He will be moving onto Windows 95 in December. Needs a new 40 MB hard drive though

and another 1MB of RAM. His floppy drive is broken though, which could make finding that spreadshett a problem

the 5 1/4 " drive ?

Are you sure muzitt?

I was at Dean Wallis's office the other week picking up a copy of the 1999 preliminary final and Dean was telling me about plans to replace his mono chrome monitor.

hey nzitt, you are not going to believe this but Dean Wallis showed me a 512KB USB memory stick. Said he got it for $129 without that key chain thingy.

Dean had the paper work and everything

You sure, mixup? Apologies.

I don't want Deano cross with me. No siree

 

[medusala]

Ha, my old place too. Good spot Moonee Ponds, pity you had to leave the suburb to find a pub.

The plot thickens.

Regarding OP,

The EFC and 2013 - 2??? will forever be known in AFL/Australian sports history as the "darkest times in National sports history".

Rooted!

IMO, 12 month ban for players backdated to first SCN notices 12/6/2014. That means half 2015 season. Class action by significant number of players vs EFC re duped doped, never return to play for EFC, so penalty is much longer in reality. Bombers finish in Saints and Demons territory in 2015. If Hird and Little don't both go, AFL deals more draft penalties for doping, if they do go and new regime is re-building then draft unaffected.

Sounds about right.

I think that would be fair, but I can't see why they should be back dated to the first SCNs. EFC and Hird delayed the process (with the players' agreeing to be bound by the decision), not ASADA.

How can they even field a team next year?

Why should there be any back dating at all? They have been playing and have been paid.

The same way they field a VFL team

 

[MaddAdam]

I'm not sure I will be alive to witness the end of this saga.

Nuremberg comes to mind.

That had a pretty definite end for most of the major players.

Do dons have draft restrictions in the 2015 season?

If ASADA wacks em I don't want them to steal the top pick away from us

Currently there are no further sanctions in terms of draft penalties if we come last next year number 1 is ours. At least for now.

I think that's the end of any club related sanctions. It will now fall on individuals.

no, im lazy with punctuation

That's pretty crap tho, say worst case they lose everyone for 2 years and the club is in major dissary, then they could nab 2 quality top picks for their stuff ups

Anything could happen. But draft picks aren't going to remedy EFC in the short term. They will need access to established players, not players who will take 3 yrs to develop.
