Jake Carlisle came back from his coke fuelled odessey to Vegas in time to go apeshit for New Years, only to be handed half a million bucks from the Saints and a twelve month extension to his holiday.
Doesnt get much better than that really.
Take your money and go backpacking Jake. Columbia looks good.

Club officials and staff ran this. This occurred under the command and control of the organisation.
The previous penalties were relevant to the lapses, record keeping and governance issues mentioned at the time. We now know the issues were very different and those penalties were inappropriately light.
My concern is that the fans shouldn't be asked to pay for this. The people who did it should bear the sanction.

oh dear, did you take offence at someone bagging your club? Gosh that must be unpleasant for you
Dude, they weren't for 'governance issues alone'. You know that as well as I do. And they weren't for doping either - we all know the AFL has tried to weasel out of any actual doping offence.
The punishments were for the utter shitstorm caused by the poor governance and shady practices carried out by the club.
It wasn't governance alone - it was the damage done to the sport as a result of that governance that they were punished for.
They haven't been penalised one iota by the AFL for doping offences.
It's high time Essendon fans conceded that the AFL has been their biggest supporter throughout this entire saga.
rubbish. The AFLs punishment was their unoffical punishment for doping, even though they couldnt (or wouldnt) make that finding at the time. I have no doubt the AFL are on Essendon's side, just like how they overlooked tanking from Carlton and Melbourne, and give favourable treatment to Sydney. They want an even competition
They want a wealthy business, you mean.
True - but you kinda made it sound like they had some nice motive behind their cheating and conning.

we all benefit from a strong competition
give it a spell. We will finish bottom while your club barely misses a year of finals due to higher salary cap. Which other team could afford to recruit Tippett and Buddy while being in the top 4?

You could argue the potential shitstorm of legal action from the effected players that if it comes to pass could leave the club millions more out of pocket might be punishment enough.

na they wouldn't, the afl would have used their financial leverage to force a guilty plea and then propped them up, need the games for tv rights.
