"Counselling" is one of those words that sounds worse than it is. Really it probably just means that the club has sat down with him for a chat to discuss the issue and maybe a course of action in relation to his responsibilities as an Essendon listed player. Pretty standard really.Club statement says he has to undergo counselling. Seems that even if he is contesting charges he's been up to no good. Essendon gave him plenty of chances and he's thrown it away.
They discuss it all the time in the media when these things happen, it's well known a good percentage of them have their problems. It may be a cultural thing, it may be sheer coincidence. But it is fact.
The people jumping to negative conclusions in here illustrates a great example of why the media that we complain about behaves the way they do.
So you're of the view of guilty until proven innocent, and even then probably still guilty?He's been stood down and is facing court, what positive conclusions are we meant to be coming to?
It's more that derailing a player thread with pages of discussion about whether player misbehaviour is unique or more prevalent to indigenous Australians isn't really what we want.
So you're of the view of guilty until proven innocent, and even then probably still guilty?
No it isn't. You can start a separate thread here or in the hangar. We're just not making this thread that thread.Pretty much the same thing.

Er ok.Agree to disagree.
We could've had Xavier Richards with this rookie pick. Decent depth and good person from a good family. Horrific decision to rookie him. We should have paid him out and cut him. The signs were there last year.
And Eades isn't a good person and/or doesn't have a good family?
If he is found guilty of the charges against him he is definitely a campaigner of a bloke.
Time will tell, but I fully understand the clubs decision to stand him down until further notice.
And what are those charges?
He's right. We have the non-Essendon thread and there's also always the possibility of people creating a separate thread if people really want to flesh the whole issue out. We've had discussions around things like the Rendell dismissal in the non-Essendon thread before.Agree to disagree.
