Essendon recruit Brendon Goddard says his new Bombers teammates are anxious about the doping probe.

ESSENDON champion Tim Watson says the players' parents are satisfied the football club has their sons' best interests at heart as they cope with the unfolding drugs scandal.

The father of club captain Jobe Watson said parents were in good spirits following a meeting between Essendon officials and parents at Windy Hill, despite a lot of questions remaining unanswered.

"What I'd like to say is a lot of parents had a lot of questions that they wanted answered. Some of these were answered by the club, some of these weren't answered by the club because they were not in a position to be able to answer those questions," Watson said to a waiting media pack following the hour-long meeting.

"But I think as a group of parents we've come away feeling that the club obviously has our son's interests at heart. That is the number one priority for James Hird and David Evans, who was present, Ian Robson, the CEO of the club, too.

"So we're very satisfied that our boys are in good hands and the club is doing all they possibly can under the circumstances."

Club Chairman David Evans said the club had a "fruitful discussion" with parents.

"It was a very positive meeting and we've commited to them that we'd come back to them with more information when we get it.

"We had a good, fruitful discussion," Mr Evans said.

But he remained tight-lipped about the contents of the meeting,

"As you're aware there's still an investigation that's now underway with ASADA and the AFL and we're cooperating with that and that's all I can really say at the moment."

Parents were reluctant to speak before the meeting, saying they have been told not to talk to the media.

 But Mandy and Bernie Crameri, parents of forward Stewart Crameri, threw their support behind the club.

"We're confident the proper procedures have been put in place," Mrs Crameri said.
