They still won't. Australian Government won't allow it.
this I agree with you, there would be ramifications if an Australian sport opted out after receiving a less than favourable ruling, sort of like taking my bat and ball and going home...........its un australian

so essendon will take year off, recruit pus and finish last, come back with a number 1 draft pick and the players in peak condition for next season.

hmmm that's not a punishment for the club - just for the players not being able to play

1st round draft picks for the next 2 years should be taken off them, and this years 2nd round draft pick.

If it is a two year ban with one year served, then Dustin Fletcher didn't play 400 games. Jobe should hand in his brownlow.

When are the powers to be at Essendon going to take responsibility ? I do feel for the players, but the club let the players down and need to be held more accountable. They complain about "3 years of duress" and "the ripple effect is huge". But it is THEIR own fault thinking that they would not get caught. They cheated and paid the price. I think that "the ripple effect" will last 5-10 years. Screwed for a long time - even with protection from the AFL.

From ABC wrap from ASADA presser
Ben McDevitt:

"To be blunt, the AFL tribunal simply got it wrong.
"Now that the CAS decision is final, I can share some facts of the case, some which have previously been confidential.
"Broadly, there was clear evidence that members of the club implemented a program designed to make Essendon players bigger and stronger and able to recover more quickly to gain an advantage over their opposition.
"In the words of Stephen Dank 'Thymosin was the vital cornerstone of that program'."

  • Essendon's sports scientist Stephen Dank was shown to have used Thymosin Beta-4 on other athletes prior to his arrival at Essendon
  • There were over 100 text messages that unveiled a plan to source Thymosin Beta-4 for the purpose of doping the Essendon team
  • The players signed consent forms agreeing to Thymosin injections and each received a number of injections
  • Six players reported being told they were being injected with Thymosin
  • Two players reported seeing vials marked with the word "Thymosin" in the sports scientist's fridge
  • Two players sent text messages discussing their Thymosin injections with Stephen Dank
  • Scientific analysis of a substance compounded by the pharmacist for Essendon showed that the substance was no other kind of Thymosin other than Thymosin Beta-4 with a 97-99 per cent accuracy
"At the end of the day, 34 players signed on to receive four substances. Yes, they were told the injection program was WADA compliant but they adopted a head-in-the-sand approach in contravention of their anti-doping education.
"They agreed to keep it a secret.
"They failed to declare the injections to doping control officers, they accepted that they were walking close to the line and they deliberately kept it from the team doctor."
Cab this be cut and pasted somewhere permanent so every flog that sill thinks otherwise can read this and now understand.
I tihnk Gil should have read this before he went he live.

Dont for one second think 12 months off will be a good thing for the players. They will not come back fresher.
The will come back unfit and have not played the game for 12 months. 12 months off is a long time and their form and progress
will be hindered dramatically.
