If Carlisle is rubbed out he doesn't get paid so cap pressure is a non issue. His absence would be though hence why I would not pay a 1st rd pick.
Essendon surely wouldn't keep that first rounder they got if the player they traded gets a ban. AFL would find some compensation for clubs who had former essendon players.
And I really don't think other teams deserve any compensation for trading in Essendon players, everyone knows the risks. Maybe you are allowed to draft/rookie in a replacement, but that's as far as I can see it going.
