AFL – The ramifications of the decision to ban 34 past and present Essendon players for doping violations are set to be felt across the footy landscape.

While Essendon will be without 12 players and four other clubs will also lose players, 17 former players have also been banned from coaching and playing in local footy leagues.

NIRS footy’s Chris Johnson says the bans will be felt at many different levels of footy across the country
