He was screwed either way, so he chose the option that wouldn't make him an AFL pariah!
You reckon the other PAFC players wouldn't of been happy Paddy put them in front of his ex team mates?
Or your coaches wouldn't be happy with him.
As for the wider AFL, most were baying for Bombers blood at the time, he would have been lauded for taking a deal.

Possibly, but we still should have rookie listed an AFL experienced ruckman.

No, why would they.
You are trying to make it something it wasn't. There's no way known that Ryder would have got away with turning on Essendon like that, you are on a fantasy high horse.
No he isn't cause he split his time over two teams not the one, that takes him out of free agency as far as I understand it.

I still believe Essendon should have needed to split that top up money over future years salary cap space. They got the double bonus then of the returning players suing them and then playing for less to give cap space.
Why would his current team mates be happier he decided to stick with his former club and get a year, instead of taking a deal and only get weeks.
How would he have not got "away" with turning on Essendon - would they send some goons after him?
Seriously would be interested to know what they would have done to him if he took the deal.
Wasn't trying to be on a high horse, just responded to a post lamenting there wasn't anything Paddy could have done to prevent his year out.
Essendon can GAGF. Same if they want Wines, would rather deal with other clubs!!!.

Essingtons 'punishment' for the worst drug cheating scandal in Australia's history was a number 1 draft pick and free cap space. We're lucky they're so incompetent or they'd have been winning flags and rubbing it in our faces by now.
If it was a small Melbourne club or interstate club they'd have been booted out of the competition.

So is it time now to move the asterisks in this thread title to the beginning?

If he's going to the Bombers then just 'Paddy Ryder*' will do. It's one thing to be unwittingly caught up in a drug scandal at your football club. It's quite another to willingly and knowingly choose to return to that same football club a few years later.
