Rubbish, it's not a club program. The club don't follow you home, how on earth are they to know if you're taking s**t before you play. If a club official approves it, knows it's going on, is aware of it or sees it happening then it's on the club, otherwise it's on the player. Can't control...

Hardly a footy clubs responsibility, what players do in the personal life is theirs.

Gill has been sucked into Essendon's sob story and probably scared of Essendon's take everything to court attitude. If the AFL had any integrity or balls they wouldn't be letting Watson keep the Brownlow medal and wouldn't be letting Essendon have all these early draft picks. Gil hasn't done...

?

Going on the AFL's previous punishments then yes. Very happy to take draft picks away from other clubs in the past for far less. The AFL and Gil are weak as piss. Everyone has bought into Essendon being the victims and feeling sorry for them. Essendon have done nothing but deny and fight...

So now that the 34 Essendon players have failed to clear their names, what about the organisation (Essendon Football Club) that implemented the illegal drugs program? Watson's Brownlow medal should be void. It kinda takes out the 'fairest' part of Best and Fairest if it's not. If it was...

Ah yes, I forgot about that one.

Convicted criminals should not profit from their criminal actions. This is up there with criminals writing a book and receiving profits. Most countries have laws preventing criminals from profiting from their offences such as The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 in Australian law. For the AFL and...

Because the players are missing games through unusual circumstances where as injuries are not unusual or unnatural. Not all picks are based in that season, such as priority picks. A club should in no way shape or form profit from their sanctions. Say they get picks 1, 19 and so on this year...

Because I'm not discussing Carlton! Carlton are only involved in my write up to be used as a comparison. This is because the Carlton Salary Cap Breaches are the closes thing in terms of scale and breaching of rules to the Essendon doping scandal. Mostly, I have not made any opinion regarding...

Being a Carlton supporter is irrelevant, and yes I realise this. I am disagreeing with this. I've stated my reasoning.

The AFL are doing their best to ignore and turn a blind eye here, they don't want to know about it. So far Essendon players have been suspended for doping. The Essendon Football Club have not received any punishment for the doping of their players. They have been sanctioned for related...

No. If you tanked for a whole year and were found out you would be sanctioned. The draft order is supposed to reflect the quality of your list which will not be the case with Essendon. This is involuntary tanking. Due to the AFL's draft system, receiving early draft picks is effectively part...

He's bad for footy in general, a poor journalist and super negative. You only have to listen to him for a few moments to become uninterested and disheartened for the game. He and all the other negative journalists out there are the worst things to happen to football and do a lot to de-promote...

weird, pointless and a fair bit off topic.

Actually is crime fighter

surely the coach and the rest of the footy department knew of this. At least one of the players is going to be asking questions about the stuff they are being made take and surely they are going to look into it to figure out if it's legal or not. Surely at least one of the players...

The reason why I would be concerned is that it is Essendon who have come out overly strongly on the front foot. The only reason why I can see you would do things so openly and externally is to appear you are doing the right thing because I think they know penalties are coming. This just feels...

What will be interesting is if it is found that the whole/majority of the playing group were on the juice. Can't suspend them all. Could Essendon end up playing for no AFL points or suffer draft pick penalties? I'm just shocked that the only club to cheat in a premiership season would do...
