Karmichael Hunt charged with supplying cocaine

It's not just limited to the north.

Idiots are everywhere.

Big problem this...

Mr. Rhyming Slang is now a dead set certainty to join the Bummers as a top up player for the NAB Challenge.

Another AFL season tainted by the Essendon scandal

For the third consecutive year, the start of an AFL season is being tainted by the red and black stain of the Essendon Football Club. Instead of reaching a conclusion, or at least being contained, the seemingly never-ending supplements saga has spread into the 2015 NAB Challenge preseason competition and is affecting the preparations of at least two other clubs.

There is only one thing in this whole saga that I feel confident about.

You will not see that sort of article in the HUN.

Just on the Karmichael Hunt issue, how did the AFL's drug policy not detect his usage?

Or was he just supplying?

hardly surprising with less than 1 test / player / year

500 tests, approx 800 players

No at the HUN the editorial angle seems to be more towards knighting all and sundry at the Bombers for their cancer-fighting initiatives.

The AFL have no interest in actually catching anyone doing anything. Its all about just looking like they do.

Im surprised Eddie hasnt kicked up a fuss about playing a bunch of cheats on ANZAC day of all days a day reserved for revering heroics and of sefllessness.

Maybe the RSL ought to protest ??

Beeb, perhaps Eddie is conflicted, you know, stones and glass houses.

There maybe an odd skeleton in the closet. Best not rock the boat, if you know what I mean.

Undergoing some life changes, first new profile logo.

Plus signature icons gone. Apparently those massive signature icons clogged up mobile version users. They are gone. Sorry.

Go back about 10 pages to see this:-

WJ pointed out a while ago that a possible reason why Eddie had a problem with commenting about the Essendon was because he held a position on the board of one of David Evans' companies.

Good point!

They have not recieved enough recognition for their innovative cancer immunisation program.

I suggest we rename that big cancer place . . "The James Hird (and some bloke MacCallum) Cancer Center".

PREVIEW: Essendon
PREVIEW: Essendon

Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

REPORT: Gold Coast

Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
