4 years of saga, suspensions, draft sanctions, media hounding, fines, reputations in ruin and terrible results and we are still looking at a fairly promising future.

It can't be said enough, that we have a better future than North, Carlton, Richmond, Brisbane, Gold Coast, West Coast, Port, Collingwood and arguably a few more despite what we have come through.

That staggers me.

That's because the AFL has been on Essendon's side from the start

Hand is understood to have approached Allan about the email and was told by Allan that he would deal with it and to delete the email. He is understood to have told Hand the girlfriend was erratic, difficult and he would handle the matter.

Allan, who has replaced Neil Balme as football director at Collingwood, had also deleted text messages between him and Whitfield and player welfare worker Craig Lambert from his phone.

An AFL investigation into the matter discovered the missing text messages and email.

The text messages and email are at the heart of the AFL investigation into claims the player was deliberately hidden away from the club at the home of welfare manager Lambert in case drug testers attended to test him.

The fear, as expressed in the text messages, was that he had taken an illicit substance that might have been laced with a performance-enhancing substance such as had occurred with Collingwood pair Lachlan Keeffe and Josh Thomas.

Avoiding an illicit drug test would only have drawn a strike under the AFL's illicit drug code but seeking to avoid a test out of fear of performance-enhancing drugs being present falls under the WADA code and if found guilty draws a mandatory minimum four-year ban for the player and the two officials, Allan and Lambert.
