So did Goddard point his finger at anyone in particular or was it more like a general pointing?
With the decline in the standard of footy over the last few years (our great 3peat the obvious exception ) the coinciding demise of the scum has been a constant joy in an otherwise dreary time frame
^^^^^It was never a "supplements" scandal, it was a clear cut illegal doping regime

Xav said:I'm disappointed that we didn't consult properly with the players prior, and that is our fault. But we will do this over the next few days.
"We're not paying you all the money you're contractually entitled to" was never going to slip past an entire playing list. They're incredibly stupid if they thought for a moment that it might.Ah well, who hasn't tried to pull a swifty and hide something in a late Friday email?
Three key takeaways for me on this one:
At least they didn't play the "sent by mistake" card. So good on them for that.
- That they even tried it on at all, given the AFLPA negotiations and contract rules
- That they tried to pull it off "Oh, by the way..." casual stylee.
- That they tried to hide it by sending it late on a Friday - the traditional slot for sending sh*te you have to send, but really want to just quietly go away.
Essendon, can you go 1 offseason without embarrasing yourself
Dons gonna have to re write contracts. Cap pressure.Pay wall.
Could you give us brief summary please?
Sounds like bullshit. Daniher, saad and Fantasia out in one off season and they can meet the cap? How much are they paying Caldwell and Wright?Dons gonna have to re write contracts. Cap pressure.
That would be best case scenario for them:my guess is they are trying to free up space for Merrett or bidding on free agents.

Hopefully makes it easier for us to snag Merrett as a FA next year
Or it's robbing Peter to pay Paul.That would be best case scenario for them:
Lose Merrett & free up $750k.
Get Pick 2-5 in compensation to go with their 1st (Pick 1-4).
Have millions to draw in other Free Agents.
Plenty of speculation in the period just gone is that Merrett wanted out, like many others. May as well profit from it.Or it's robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Free up some dollarydoos to match a Merritt bid for a better deal? Makes sense if you're trading commodities but people have feelings and it might just PO a few of their players though. Either way I like watching the scums carcass twitch
