Scandal takes huge toll on Evans

ESSENDON legend Tim Watson says the performance enhancing drugs saga has taken an enormous personal toll on David Evans, suggesting the Bombers chairman has lost "eight or nine kilos" in the past week.

As the father of club captain, Jobe, a former club great and media commentator, Watson said his emotions have changed wildly throughout the past 10 days.

"My emotions have drifted between anger, and that would be a right emotion, to now I'm actually feeling sad for the people that are in there," Watson said.

"I've got a better understanding of what has transpired and there are a lot of reputations at stake here.

"I'm not feeling angry anymore, I'm feeling heartened by the way Essendon have gone about this, I think it's the right way to go about it and I'm also encouraged by, when we sat down as parents the other night and listened to what David had to say, the fact that the No.1 priority for him was the players.

Little incentive for Bombers to win

"There was no spin with anything he had to say about where they're at at the moment, there was nothing about the branding of the Essendon footy club or the commercial realities of what may or may not transpire down the track, it was all about the players."

Watson said on Channel Seven he felt for Evans in particular.

Integrity officers for all clubs?

"I think there's been an enormous toll (on individuals) as a result of what has taken place over the last week or so," he said.

"I saw David Evans, our chairman, on Monday night when he addressed the parents and I think David has lost about eight or nine kilos in the past week alone. He's taken leave from his business, he's working full time on clearing the names of all the players at Essendon."
