We’ve got everyone involved in the Essendon/ASADA mess offering a quote about “their great mate” David Evans in this article, John Wylie, Eddie McGuire and more.
So much fun to have the boys back together. The fact that Evans has come out of hiding, after James left EFC is not “Un-coincidental” it seems….. This article was written Sept 12 2015, Evans went for that meeting with EFC staff on Monday 21 September 2015, so it looks like David Evans is “re-engaging publicly” with people.

It’s now more than two years since David Evans suffered a shocking physical breakdown in the Essendon change rooms on a cold Friday evening at the height of the club’s drug supplements scandal.
The next day he resigned from his role as club chairman.
For many in the general public, there is little more they know or remember of Evans — the embattled club figurehead who was overwhelmed physically and mentally by one of the most damaging and controversial affairs ever to hit an elite Australian sporting team. Some have sympathy, others anger. Few know Evans has returned to the helm of a firm that is now a material player in the Australian capital markets, with $14 billion of funds under advice.
Essendon appears a distant memory — so distant that in his first media interview since the day he resigned from the club, Evans studiously avoids any mention of the “E’’ word. He will not talk about what happened. Today, tomorrow, or in the future. But friends say he is watching AFL matches again — including Essendon — after swearing off them for 18 months. After a short break in 2013, Evans threw himself into his role as executive chairman of Evans and Partners at the back end of the year and throughout 2014-15. He didn’t look back.
Last year Evans also invited golf great Greg Norman, now a global entrepreneur, on to the Evans & Partners advisory board, which includes McGuire, Linfox director Bill Kelty, South32 chairman David Crawford, Origin Energy chairman Kevin McCann, former Macquarie Group CEO Allan Moss and Premier Investments director Sally Herman.
