"Legal experts believe there is a strong case to say that Essendon's alleged failing in providing a safe workplace would allow the players to terminate their contracts - in effect, enabling even those under contract to leave the club if they wished to exercise that right...."

Not sure that this would apply to BJ though as the practice of injecting players had stopped before he signed his contract

Because they knew this was coming, but still recruited him.

I reckon it would be easy as.

They didnt know "this" was coming. They thought they would get away with everything. Its their arrogance that has got things to where they are now.
And of course they have to keep recruiting, its a business. EFC never thought they would get into trouble, we have heard their denials all year, and back
when they got BJ "this" was just rumblings, rumour, which I bet BJ had heard himself.

BJ went for the money, it has turned out to be a bad decision, but cant blame EFC for it. And dont worry, I want to blame them for all that they have done, but
have to be realistic.

I am sure BJ is feeling like shite right now, wonder if he has turned to his best mates at stfc for help

There may have been many months between signing "The Essendon Contract" and signing "The Essendon/AFL Contract" !!

I feel sorry for him.

I think he'll have grounds to get out of his contract and go to the highest bidder.

This stuff dates back long before he arrived.

Up until they stuffed with his head, he was having a really good year.

Someone will take him for sure.

Agree with this ,he should leave.
Walked into avalanche not of his own making.

Welcome back BJ

I still love the bloke

BJ will ride out the compromised Bomber penalties and stay put, he won't have tasted success but he'll have his nest egg, doubt he'll care too much..

I'd like him to stay where he is. We need to build a new team with "Saints" people, not cash counters.

I think that's an opinion, can you judge that P65

Only if he takes a sizeable haircut. About 1/2 of what Essendope are paying him, and on a 1 year rolling contract would be about right !!

That would apply to the 2012 list who were jabbed in dingy offsite rooms.
But BJ arrived after that which means
- his contract is not subject to that OH&S out-clause.
- but at least he can still have children.

Who cares. We found out the "J" in BJ stood for Judas. Good riddance to him.
