So with the reissued show cause notices this morning. Is there a list of *Essendon players that haven't received one? Presumably anyone traded/drafted in the last two years+Zaharakis?

So err..if the rumours are true one of our first year players is in more than a bit trouble, although surprised if it is him its taken this long to come out.

Now, you might dispute his claim it only started in Melbourne, but
Hawthorn has kept recruit Dayle Garlett on ice until he earns his stripes on and off the field

His hot take on this doesn't actually criticise the thing that should be criticised imo. Essendon certainly deserve some criticism for this little mess, but the criticism should be built around the fact that recently drafted 18yo kids were so obviously not part of the programme, so their exclusion for these games would have protected nobody's identity, which was the whole reason behind the "No 2012 players" thing. These guys never should have been in line to miss these games, and they never should have needed to approach the coaches to play these games (non should they have needed the leadership group to tick off on this). One of these guys, elliott kavanagh, has supposedly complete his first injury free pre-season, and the prospect of him missing these games because of some misguided belief that doing so protected the identities of the guys with notices was bull**** insane. It was an incredibly stupid thing for Essendon to almost allow happen. Just terrible, terrible decision making. Their inclusion for these games are not a sign of 'breaking ranks' or any nonsense, but the whole process was terribly handled. Again. They also should not have dropped this little piece of information 2 days before the game.
(The whole match simulation thing seems needlessly dangerous too imo, in regards to possibly affecting suspensions)
