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.

Nah its easy. Go to the front page with the list of forum topics and click where it says 677 views. Comes with all the posters and the number of times they have posted.

You don't actually think I counted them all do you?

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?

quite enjoying watching the Rebels instead of friday night footy tonight...

Dunno, seeing Essendon lose is pretty entertaining.

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.

was i specifically refering to peds ? Was i

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.

maybe blurred...

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.

Looked about as chummy as me and the mother in law!

The next goal will be HUGE!


Bit rough to compare an Association to a Union...

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

union....or should it be more akin to a professional organisation ?

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
