They are screwed now. Can you imagine anyone in their right mind wanting to buy a reserved seat this season? Yeah there will be "sticking by the boys" and keeping the membership by some, but you don't throw good money after bad.

Can you imagine any sponsor at all wanting to sign up? Maybe some on long term contracts but forget about better deals than what they already have. Nfw.

Gate receipts will get smashed after about round 4.

If the AFL have any cojones they'll fine them for another round of disrepute - for actually cheating this time - and strip them of picks too.

This is what happens when you cheat, get caught and don't own up to it.

Get back to me after 30 years of self inflicted shitness ( that we can all relate to) and then I might feel a bit sorry for them. But only if they continue to turn up in droves. But we all know they won't because they are the biggest soft cock supporter base going.

Interesting ramifications for a number of Club administrators. The affected Essendon players will be under contracts that presumably will have to be honoured, irrespective of whether they are able to take the field in 2016. So they should be entitled to be paid as per the terms of their individual contracts. Those payments, of course, roll into the Club's annual salary cap. However, the EFC will need to engage at least 12 new players to cover for the ones now suspended. This begs the question of whether the salaries of those new players will cause the Club's salary cap to blow out. If it does, would the AFL give Essendon some form of dispensation to exceed it's mandated salary cap for the 2016 season. I'd imagine the remaining 15 Clubs would have a view on that.

It's basically a similar situation for the other Clubs that have signed affected former Essendon players except that, at worst, only 2 players are involved. Again, whether the Ryders or Carlyles get paid for the season will be determined by the terms of their contracts. A smart Club administrator would have included a contingency clause in those players' contracts to waive payments in the event of the current CASA decision. That would leave the door open for the players to take legal action against the EFC to recover their contracted money. Otherwise, the possibility of a salary cap blow out also exists for these Clubs who could be expected to seek a one year exemption from that cap from the AFL. They could also be expected to initiate Court action against the EFC to recover any monies paid out to players banned from the 2016 competition.

Can't wait for the next exciting development.

They cant be paid whilst suspended, they cant train with any sporting organization that is signed to WADA, they will need to seek restitution through the courts, the statements thye made to CAS (which they were coached on by the club will give the club an out )

This was partly my response too.

I have little time for those Essendrugs supporters crying about how they're sick and tired of all the misery because they've had a whole three years of problems. :rolleyes:

We talk about Jab and his brownlow. what a about the campaigner Fletecher, is that a slap in the face to the other 400 gamers?

Will the cheating dirty AFL put an asterisk beside his name?

they even selected a retired player who is now a confirmed drug cheat for their IR team to REPRESENT this country, how do you feel about that AUSTRALIA

Hird keeps opening his big mouth, yet still takes no responsibility. Essendon need to distance themselves from him from now on. I wonder what he was on when he won the Brownlow....

Surely Essendon won't be able to draft players to cover the 12 that are out for the year. They will be stuck with a small list, plus their rookies. I dont even think they'd be able to promote them based on this finding.

If that's the case Id expect some law suits against the Bombers to start to happen.

Also, the VFL top up players Id assume won't necessarily have to come from the bombers VFL team. Id be interested to see if some VFL teams seek compensation for losing players to the EFC.
