This is why the kitchen sink should have been thrown at Essendon

Essendon drug use sparks copycat rush

The Essendon Football Club drug and supplements saga has sparked a rush in the use of cosmetic and performance-enhancing drugs, with experts reporting a disturbing rise in young people injecting hormones and peptides.

The staff of needle centres say recent sports doping revelations have been followed by a spike in new users of steroids and other performance and image-enhancing drugs - known as ''PIEDs''.

It's not over. They are going to get slammed. Players will get holidays.

If there is any sense or reason they will, however I'm beginning to think Essendon exist on a different plane of existence where there is no consequences to their actions.

It doesn't involve the great game of AFL but NRL player Russell Packer received 2 years in jail for punching another man and stomping on his head. Thankfully the victim survived.

Good to see he wasn't able to hide behind his profession for this dog act and got a realistic sentence. However he is appealing the sentence.

Unfortunately I can't post article as on my phone. Maybe someone else can post or mods can.

Lucky for us, Buckley is the coach now, so off season scandals at Collingwood should be borderline non-existent.

Or maybe something like "Collingwood captain, questioned by police!*"
