AAP The case between Essendon, James Hird and ASADA will get under way in Melbourne's Federal Court.The first steps in Essendon and James Hird's legal action against ASADA are set to begin in Melbourne's Federal Court.
The club and its exiled coach are seeking an immediate halt to ASADA's investigation into Essendon's 2012 supplements program.
The first step in the court action will be Friday's directions hearing, which will be televised.
Essendon coach Mark Thompson has warned his players against becoming distracted by the courtroom drama.
"If they want to watch it they'll watch it. If they don't they won't," Thompson told reporters on Thursday.
"We'd be pretty disappointed if they spent most of tomorrow thinking about what's going on in court, when we've got a game on."
The Friday morning first directions hearing will take place just hours before Thompson coaches Essendon for the first time against Geelong, the team he won two AFL premierships with.
The Bombers and Hird argue last year's joint ASADA and AFL investigation into the club's 2012 supplements program was unlawful and the show-cause notices against 34 past and present players should not proceed.
