The 17 current and former banned Essendon players on an AFL list in 2016 are set to train as a group this week…but the session will not be led by Mick Malthouse.
Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge revealed yesterday that Stewart Crameri, along with the other 16 banned players currently on an AFL list, will train together this week.
“We’re just trying to mobilise a third party to get something going for Stewy, which we can’t really impact on,” Beveridge said.
“It appears they’re going to have their first session later on in the week, so there’s something happening and Stewy’s keen to maintain his fitness base and get ready for the possibility that he might rejoin us if the appeal’s successful.”
But Beveridge said Mick Malthouse, who last week flagged his interest in training the banned players, would not be taking the session.
TRENDING NOW
“The players are making that choice and I think that’s driven by the Essendon boys, so whatever they decide will happen and we can’t really influence,” the Dogs’ coach said.
“Stewy’s really keen to get involved in it and they’ll be able to train together as group because you need people to kick the footy with.”
Funniest meme ever
A bit precious Stuart James Cullinane
I feel so bad for these boys, it’s heart breaking to see! I wish Hird was never chosen for the Bombers, I never thought he’d be good for any AFL team to be honest! (Eagles Fan)
Maybe Hirdy can train them, he’s not associated with Essendon and knows them pretty well. Also if they’re banned they should be able to take whatever supplements they want.
They shouldn’t be getting any support they can train on their own like Cousins did
Maybe cousin’s should get his brownlow taken of him if jobe does both drug cheats….
Load of crap and you know it is Cousins game never changed from when he tore the hearts out of Geelong as a 17 yro in his first game the drug he took was HTAD
And Essedon players can take it it’s totally legal
They csn swap needle stories
Who have the VFL/afl got to train them maybe James Tird , they can keep the program going till they can go back to misleading their supporters again , one cheat training drug cheats 😉
If you don’t barrack for the bombers, don’t comment, worry about your own team idiots.
Michael Chau no mick
thank god
Shouldn’t be allowed simple
Get off the gear Neilo, they’re allowed to train mate 😏
Haha train by themselves just like ben cousins had to blakey
They could play AFL 9’s for 2016. Fixtures maybe boring tho…..Bombers would win another premiership playing each other.
Go and get real jobs for a year
Replace the sherrin with a Brownlow and thatd make a good photo!
Essendon is blessed. Break the rules get top up players and the banned players get special private training for 12 months. But the club’s who picked up ex Essendon player get nothing. No justice
Bombers will also get a top pick in the next draft now too
Is that for real
Will come last or close to it. No draft pick penalties
I think they will do ok. Or at least do better than Carlton
