Just some questions on Essendon / WADA :
1. All the discussion in recent days has been about who pays players from Port, WB, and Melbourne ....this by the way is a terribly short sighted argument in the discussions parameters (i'll discuss later)
I understood that the WADA decision called for players to receive up to 50% of their contract payment? .....yet everyone is talking 100% ? .....can anyone enlighten

2. So the argument is buyer beware, however the AFL did give advice they expected a short sentence of 2-4 weeks if found guilty
However ....what about ex Essendon players who have stayed in local footy as their job ......coaching local sides, or playing with local clubs .......who are you expecting to pay their contracts ?
3. Correct me if Iam wrong ......but if Essendon players have been found guilty of breaking the WADA code, IMO the players should be de-registered by the AFL, consequently their contract becomes null & void .....and the players get paid nothing, unless Essendon agrees to pay contracts out, in their attempt to retain the 12 players .
