The AFL has today again been in discussions with ASADA on the matter of the implications of the suspensions for past and present players of the Essendon Football Club and is pleased that the position of Brent Prismall’s employment has been resolved.

The AFL has forwarded advice to the Western Bulldogs FC this afternoon that Brent should stand down from his current role at the Western Bulldogs.

At all times the Western Bulldogs have complied with directions and advice from the AFL.

The AFL will continue to discuss with ASADA issues surrounding the players’ sanctions and their activities.
