Why?I used to like and respect Woosha...
Why?
He's a chemist who coached a club with the worst in house drug problem, with the least interest in fixing it as long as results aligned on field. His tenure at WC has resulted in any number of his players being unable to move back to civilian life after their careers due to addiction and having not been provided any options for post career jobs. While they certainly can and do bear the consequences of their own decisions it is completely perplexing to me how Worsfold gets away scot free for his role there.
He was a leader. Many compare their coach to their father. He either didn't care, or didn't have an opinion, and that lack ruined any number of lives over there. Worsfold is - to my mind - the perfect match for Essendon, because he and they both have demonstrated utterly no remorse for their respective roles in their sordid history, and because both involved copious amounts of drugs consumed that may have had a role in improving onfield performance. And, if there was little to no oversight over WC's recreational activities, it certainly makes me wonder how a number of those players got as strong as they were, as fit as they were.
It's the one thing Malthouse had going for him; he was never boring. Infuriating, insufferable, pedantic, geriatric, but not dull.and damn he's dull - like lyons level dull.............
We didn't send him to Ireland to play footy: Woosha 'really disappointed' in defender
John Worsfold says Conor McKenna's unsanctioned Gaelic game was extremely riskym.afl.com.au
I used to like and respect Woosha, but he clearly has been infected/brainwashed by the arrogance Essendon and its entitlement mentality.
I think it's perfectly fine and natural for any Irish lads to go home and play some Garlic footy with their friends and former teammates, provided they are properly prepared for injury prevention.000
We don't need more bad blood between the AFL and GAA.
I have no doubt in my mind they were on something.Why?

Nah mate, that’s a s**t thing to do and I’d be f*n ropeable if he was playing for us.
Ciaran Byrne had decided his career was finished, however, in his first game back playing Gaelic put himself out of competitive sport for 12 months. If he was still on the list at the time and played and injured himself that badly I would have been up on the rafters here baying for instant dismissal

Did they receive equalisation funds/assistance to help with the costs?Heard this morning that Essendon had wiped their debt and have lodged their first profit since 2011.
Have to say that was a pretty impressive effort, considering the debt they incurred from cheating.
