Essendon hold their first training session since announcing they have gone to the AFL over concerns about supplements supplied last year.
AFL great Dermot Brereton voices his thoughts on the Essendon doping scandal.

ESSENDON legend Tim Watson said he would be "absolutely devastated" if his son Jobe was stripped of his Brownlow Medal.
The Herald Sun today reported Essendon players were taken away from the club and injected with unknown substances by sport science staff last season.
The AFL and ASADA will investigate the Bombers and players could potentially face bans of more than two years if found guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs.
Speaking on SEN Radio this morning, Watson Snr said he 'destroyed' if it meant his son's Brownlow Medal was stripped from him.
"As a parent, I'd be devastated for him," Watson said on SEN.
"I'd be completely and utterly destroyed and that is one of the components of this story too, there are lots of things that are going on that we don't know about.

"I've got no idea where this investigation will go and I don't think anybody does."
Watson said he would talk to his son and Essendon captain today.
"I had a conversation yesterday with Jobe about his knee and that was before this broke and I haven't spoken to him since," he said.
Watson said he found it difficult to conceive that "AFL clubs would allow people into the clubs ... not in a controlled way that everyone is on the same page".
"One would think that everybody within their football club has the checks and balances whereby they know the people they're employing," he said.
"They know the substances and the composition of any substances being given to the players as well...getting their players fitter and faster and stronger, they're going to push those because that's what being in an elite environment is all about.
"But I hope that the correct checks and balances and the correct checks on the people are conducted before you employ them, because then you know exactly what it is that's going on within your football club."
