No, have enough backup players
Depends on how long bans are, may only get a couple of weeks ban
that would be a disgrace...
Back dating it is a joke too.
Essendon doesnt make the rules, sportsmen all around the world have been given back dated penalties.
Way too early to predict IMO, depending which media person you listen to the ban ranged from zero weeks to 6 months

But I thought they were innocent, surely with how little and birds have acted in the media it wouldn't be a issue playing in the NAB cup.

And they still maintain they are innocent but it cant hurt preparing yourself for the worst. As you quite rightly stated in the thread about your mate Shahin, prosecutors and judges can be influenced or get it wrong sometimes. Plenty of guilty people have been let off and plenty of innocent people have been punished, no harm in the players covering all their bases.
It will be up to the individual players if they choose to play or not but at this stage the AFLPA is advising them against it.
It will be then up to Essendon to decide if they play with a weakened side or withdraw completely

The AFL are looking at allowing Essendon to fill up with some VFL players.
Whilst this will be a weaker side it has a positive effect for some VFL players. They will get a chance to impress at he higher level and may catch the eye of a few teams perhaps.
