That's bollocks BB. WADA's decision to appeal does not negate the accuracy of reds comments about the standing of the tribunal members and the fact that is offensive to suggest they were somehow complicit in a corrupt, rigged outcome

I think you're getting ahead of yourself

Tell that to the Warren Commission.

got to hand it to BB, like a dog with a bone and never deviated from his stance.

Sadly though he has so far lost every round.

beautiful rejoinder. posts like this lighten my day. nice to see a bit of humour on a depressing Friday afternoon, along with the usual character assassination, conspiracy theories, doomsayers, and the outright fruit cakes. Don't be offended fruit cakes I am kind of nutty myself hence all my bad habits. Where are those tablets?

AFLPA chief not buying in: AFLPA denies year-round hair testing has been agreed to

Here we have a classic example of a Tail wanting to wag the Dog...

Marsh strikes me as an empire building kkob. The entire AFLPA seem to be on another planet. Their warrant is to facilitare the welfare and conditions for players as it occurs WITHIN the context of the game, not to attempt to dictate above its station. If hair,blood, urine or any other testibg is deemed necessary in order to maintain compliance well then they (players) can bloody well suck it up.

Clearly the League needs to man up and remind these clowns (wannabe kings) just where all belong in the grwat scheme of things.

To dare the AFLPA has shown bizarre contempt for the health and wellbeing of the very individuals who actually require it.

The understanding of the rules and implementation of testing together with penalties should leave no room for neither misinterpreting nor non-compliance.

Thats why we're in this shlt !!

I think the AFLPA is looking at this issue primarily in terms of the players' civil liberties which its seeking to protect ahead of the other issue at play in terms of so-called "recreational" drugs. The problem is that, as we've seen with the two Collingwood players waiting on their B sample results, the lines between the two are blurred.

My concern is that the AFLPA should be looking after all of its constituents, particularly on health and safety which includes drug education and rooting out those involved in drug cheating and I don't believe they've done enough in recent years.

More bollocks Bb. Hair testing is about illicit drugs not PEDs. The players should flat out refuse hair testing and should refuse to be part of any testing regime outside of their wada obligations

If I were a player there is no way I'd agree to illicit drug testing unless it was policy across the entire AFL organisation. I'm no fan of illicit drugs, binge drinking or gambling but to take away people's civil liberties and right to be an as5hole is a bridge too far.

I tell you what i say black ..yiu can say white.

No time for your ccowning adversarial nonsenses.

Why should they refuse ANY testing that might show up anything illicit.

If correct protocols are implemented why should anyone object ?

Only someone with something to hide will.

It's an explanation of the Collingwood 2 that may or may not be right.

Anyone see Gillon McLachlan and Paul Little sitting next to each other at the match last night? Gee that was special on a Friday night.

The AFLPA are basically a union, therefore you should not surprised by your description, especially as I can't think of one Union that doesn't act in that fashion.

It my understanding that the players are just employees of their respective clubs?

That is effectively what they are. How are they any different?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
