because in the end, its about equalisation. If Essendon use up all their funds on lawyers to take the AFL to court, the AFL will end up bailing them out when they are broke. Ridiculous situation. The other 17 teams need to step in. This is going to be an unbelievable waste of money, and simply an attempt to get the players off on a technicality. Why not just let their cases be heard individually and see if they are guilty? Is that far too simple?
