Would any club risk trading with Essendon before the ASADA report is finalised?

[blackshadow]

It looks like the interim ASADA report doesn't address player sanctions.

Does anyone think that any other clubs would risk player trades with Essendon while the risks of suspension still hangs over Essendon players?

If an Essendon player was traded and a suspension was subsequently handed down would Essendon be liable?

 

[Joe Johnson]

All Essendon need to do in that scenario is put up a huge sign saying

"buyer beware - deal at own risk"

And its not as if the situation is not public.

I cant see any legal problems, unless Essendon provide written guarantees that a player or players will not be sanctioned, and it turns out they will be after the trade occurs.

bulldogs reportedly after crameri, so yes they would

 

[Taylor]

What possible justice could an opposition club hope to exact from Essendon FC if a traded player was later banned?

The real bitter pill would be for this to all be sorted out just before the draft. The opposition club could watch their player get banned and their draft picks be seized and evaporate.

Caveat emptor when looking at Bombers trades!

 

[GreatBradScott]

Would/should the AFL offer a form of compensation in an event of that happening?

 

[lones37]

If it isn't finalised by then, they would not let them trade.

This has all been a clever ploy by us to scare GWS and Collingwood away from Bellchambers.

When will the ASADA report be finalized?

When will the ASADA report be finalized you ask, cant see it happening in the next few years, e.g what the NRL investigations throw up, such as Darren Hibbert who is owed $10k allegedly by the Bombers.

Anyone involved at the Bombers in 2012 are potentially damaged goods & will be require a higher level of due diligence.

 

[Taylor]

It would get very interesting if out of contract Bombers decide to walk out, nominate another club and then that club decides to tell Essendon that due to the risk the player isn't worth more than a third or fourth round pick.

Do any bombers have a Judd clause that allows them to break their contract if the club is brought into scandal?

If Sam Lonergan gets a two year ban can Richmond sue Essendon?

My understanding is WADA keep samples 10+ years?

As the technology changes they continue to test for PED do they not?

So essendon players could be banned 2 or 3 or 4 years down the track.

 

[Gavstar]

ASADA now has 8 years thanks to recent legislative changes.

No such limitations on AFL?

 

[Ferdinand Lewis]

nine years till you can relax essendon fans.

"ZOMG i just want this to be over" - bad luck.

Evening more worrying, what if down the track an essendon or former essendon player get sick from drugs not tested on humans? What will be the WADA, AFL, legal ramifications? RIP John Mannah.

 

[Suma Magic]

Even if everything is finalised, what player will want to go to Essendon?

They'll only be able to trade for picks.

Sandwich board...Big enough?

 

[Joe Johnson]

Sandwich board...Big enough?

yes - with lots of tsaziki and souvos

 

[rose jam]

This would screw essendon if not resolved before trade period as they have banked plenty of big men power in Bellchambers and Gumbleton who could land them some decent midfielder or draft picks

 

[Joe Johnson]

Caveat emptor when looking at Bombers trades!

I thought Caveat had serious knee problems?

Don't forget the Coon cheese.

 

[Defacto]

short answer: no, unless its a player that has no ?? next to their name

 

[archibald23]

How are we certain asada report doesn't cover player sanctions? Isn't that the whole point of their existence? They're not a governance checking body are they?
