Ex-Essendon player Nathan Lovett-Murray is preparing a $1million Supreme Court damages claim against the club after talks about his compensation package fell through.

The Herald Sun reported the news, and said Lovett-Murray will tell the Court the saga caused him anxiety, severe stress and depression.

Lovett-Murray and his former partner also believe the injections he received during the club's supplements program have caused health problems for his daughter.

Harmony, Lovett-Murray's three-year-old daughter, is suffering from an unknown chest growth and behavioral problems, after being conceived in 2013, around a year after the supplements program stopped.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that the injection program we were put through has had some impact on my daughter,” Lovett-Murray told the Herald Sun.

“It’s something I think about every day.”

“What were we taking — we’re still unsure what we were being given — and how is that going to affect my health and also my children’s health?"

“There have been health concerns (with Harmony) and we have seen some specialists.

“There are some behavioural things that we are concerned about, and there was a hole in her chest that was leaking mucus, and we still don’t know what it is. They’ve got to do more tests, but those tests cost more money,” he said.

Lovett-Murray's former partner, Renee Sweetman, detailed her daughter's problems to the Herald Sun, suggesting the family are fearing for her health.

“She (Harmony) was almost 1 when she got a really large lump on her chest. It was there for about six months and we took her to the hospital and to different doctors, and they couldn’t find what the problem was," Sweetman said.

But my major concern is her behaviour. Her behaviour has never been normal. I know something isn’t right.

“There’s also something else on her chest. It has mucus in it and it’s like a little hole … they don’t know what it is. It’s very terrifying.”

The veteran also voiced his displeasure at the Bombers for the way he's been treated over the past four years, suggesting the club has ruined his name in the Aboriginal community.

“I’m extremely disappointed with the club after what they have put me through over the last four years,” Lovett-Murray said.

“I just feel like they are trying to screw me over — and not just myself, but my family. They’re a big business and there is a bit of arrogance about them. But I spent 10 years at that club and have been put through hell.

“To be treated like this, as a life member ... they’ve tarnished my name and my family’s name. (It’s) tarnished my name in the Aboriginal community, and I’ve worked hard in building that through community work.”
