If they get infractions are players likely to sue Essendon for damages, such as lost earnings, as the club ran the injection program?
If so is this likely to bankrupt Essendon?

Will depend on the bans given, if any.
If lengthy suspensions get handed out, it will go nuclear.

By their actions, have the players contributed to their predicament, if they get lengthy bans? ASADA did make an offer which they turned down.
simple answer......yes.
driven by the player managers mainly - and theyll want football earnings, post career marketing earnings, pain & suffering, drug risks damages etc etc.
the administrators will be in charge before 2015.
harleys contract with swisse will look like a goldmine compared to jobe trying to get any post footy work.
But it's all about protecting the players according to Hird's statement today..... What a joke
If they receive bans, yes & anyone involved. (Dank)
That was laughable when Hird said it was about the players. It's all about Hird. Always has and always will be.
no one does but its been a reality since they showed their hand and reappointed hird last year.
If essendon had any sense of decency they'd beg and grovel to ASADA for the six months per player and then start to put a slush fund together to look after all 30 odd players affecting by this for the next decade or so....

AFL will not renew their license and likely relocate them to Canberra/NT/ WA/NZ under new ownership/new club logo etc with small sign of EFC on the back of guernsey. Essendon will exist in that scenario but unlikely it will be in Melbourne. There are idiots and then there is Sir James Hird.
no - the idiots are the supporters for giving the club reps the ok to pursue this selfish fight.
this is essendon supporters fault. not hirds, not littles. the supporters had their chance to rescue their club but chose to listen to hird & little and believed their selfish words.
theyre about to pay for that error. lost club.

I have always stated that the players could not be seen to have adequately mitigated against the risk of suspension given that there is clearly a legislative scheme, backed up by AFL contracts, which places individual responsibility on the players - so no - or at least not that much.

But don't listen to me.....
(1) Said AOD would not lead to bans/SCNs
(2) Essendon would lose the case and have to pay costs

you're right - if this happened at Carlton there would have been chaos first day news came out.. board spills, revolts, basically Carlton would have burnt to the ground. Essendon supporters are weird...very strange at the football too...most aggressive and pin headed of all supporters.
you to continue seeking to lie your way thru this.

No idea. The first one was a not very educated guess. The second was after reading the ASADA response and taking a stab. Everything else is harder to predict. We don't have access to the evidence. I am a bit drunk so I apologize for internet hubris
Lets not get too hysterical. Essendon wont be closing their doors, no matter how bad the sanctions are. They might suffer a decade in the cellar, the AFL will ensure they have a full list, no matter how poor that list is.
PO ?
at least say it right.
PISS OFF.
go collect your PR paycheque. youve had a busy week.
* you.
its predictable cos it hasnt changed since april 2013. your guilt has been apparent since then. your future was sealed when hird was re-signed.
stupid arrogance and blind faith has destroyed your club.
