What a joke. Basically it punishes us
Can we have this investigated or is it going to be swept under the carpet too?
It'll be swept, in the AFL's best interests to do so, so they won't push the case. Further adds to my case that Essendon should have the license taken away from them though, but then the AFL is as toothless as it is lacking balls.
Step in the right direction from Jake, if the penny's dropped it'll do him the world of good both image wise and as a person. Yet to be convinced though, so I suppose we'll see at the end if he's grown up and become a better person or if he's still a 12 year old pretending.
Good from the club though, ever since this broke they have been quite vocal and quite strong in their use of language that it at least instills confidence that we're not expecting the world but everyone will represent us to the best of their ability or they will not be associated with us. One thing we won't be, is Carlton with Fev for instance or us in the 80's and 90's.
Status quo from the AFL & AFLPA though, don't have the balls to do anything to Essendon or the 34 players, allow Essendon to media kill anyone initially against the brand about it (ie Reimers) and really wouldn't have done much if Carlisle pushed the issue opposed to accepting it. I want to have confidence in the commission, I just can't.
