Little 'sickened' by article

Essendon captain Jobe Watson confirmed the players could take legal action over the News Corporation report.





"We'll seek the advice of the players association on that," he said.





Players wanted "a good relationship with the media ... we want you guys to cover the game.





"In particular, what occurred in the Herald Sun on Sunday was disappointing for the players.





"For an ongoing investigation, for them to pre-empt by naming and showing photographs of players, for a Commonwealth investigation, that was very disappointing.





"It was an unnecessary element."





Watson said the shadow of the ASADA inquiry had been "an incredibly difficult situation for a long period of time".
