Can't the AFL testers rock up to his house to test him at any old random time they like?

I stress this is just another variation of the rumour. But I suspect he has numerous girlfriends, address unkown he can shack up with if need be till he is clean. Given his golden boy status and the AFL's track record, bending the rules for Buddy is also a possibility.

    I find this very hard to believe adc

    In today's media environment the need for stories is huge

    No one could successful hide a story like that.

    As I said, just another rumour. I don't say I believe it but I did hear it. And there have been plenty recently.

    One hundred women in under one hundred days, apparently. Quite an effort.

    Looks like it turned out to be bullsh!t

    Oh boy, what a hoot that was. Do you know the name he gave himself for that feat?

    'ologists did. When I let it slip a few years ago. Much to their outrage and my total stupidity / naivety.

    Maybe the problem really was a late withdrawal but it had something to do with one of said women and not the Port game?

    No I don't. Do tell.

    Lets see if he comes out with a No 1 haircut?

    Something about three figures from memory, there's a word in there that might be a bit too offensive for this forum.

    I'm inclined to believe what Hawks have come out with...but is it possible the story is true and an injunction has been sort to delay any announcement/decision whilst it is challenged?

    Believe believe believe, but wouldn't you want to come out 'yourself', to deny the mischievous & false accusations...?

    Or not.

    That's the problem with club officials and players these days. You can never be sure if they're telling the truth or not.

    You mean it has changed ?

    I am reliably informed RR that one of the major reasons the media get stuck into us is they believe they have been told pork pies by a senior manager at the MFC.

    On more than one occasion.

    That may be OD, but then why doesn't the media get stuck into other clubs to the same degree? Can't just be the porkies surely ...

    I heard he lives in a castle and does heaps of drugs.

    I did say it was one of the reasons.

    The other of course RR is we do lead with our chin.

    We give them plenty to work with.

    Agree with that. Also, if the club official who you speak of is the same one I'm thinking of ... well, he's trodden on quite a few toes over quite a few years now ... it shouldn't surprise that they're lining up to sink the slipper when we're down.

    Some serious grudges going on the footy fraternity.

    100% agreement on that one

    If the grudges existed purely outside of the MFC, it probably wouldn't mater that much, if at all. Problem is, I suspect some of it emanates from within as well.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
