All 34 banned Essendon players could appeal against their Court of Arbitration for Sport anti-doping verdicts.
Wednesday is the deadline for the past and present AFL players to confirm they will plead their case at the Swiss Federal Tribunal.
The speculation late last week was that only some of the players would be part of the appeal, which is likely to go ahead later this year. “I understand that all of the players will be party to that appeal,” Essendon chairman Lindsay Tanner told Channel Nine.
