Eleven Pies players test positive to illicit substances

I can't see why anyone would be surprised given the prevalence of drug use in Australia in 2016.

It has to be said though that given the example of Keefe and Thomas who ingested WADA banned substances when using recreational drugs any WADA compliant athlete would have to be bloody stupid to follow in their footsteps.

    So we've had 34 Essendon players systematically take performance enhancing drugs, and now this allegation of illicit drugs at Collingwood (and possibly worse at other clubs). The AFL has implemented this drug policy, and if these allegations have substance to them, then the AFL have a lot to answer for. There really needs to be an independent committee that oversees these areas, and not an AFL that is beholden to the AFLPA.

    Instead of ice baths (no pun intended), it'll be Nair baths.

    Rumours were this was happening when Keefe and Thomas were tested.

    Let's just say that they were the unlucky ones to be tested.

    We have no idea where we fit in this.  I wouldn't be casting stones even if we do come out relatively clean. Can happen anytime, anywhere with anyone - no matter how good your club culture is.

    My cricket team was the same. But there were only 11 on our list.

    AFL drugs policy was always designed to hide the problem.

    Always should be one strike/one week. That would stamp it out quick smart.

    There is no doubt (like the rest of the community) drugs are a major problem. If the AFL wanted to show some leadership on a healthy lifestyle the policy would have changed long ago. In my opinion it a small microcosym of the control and command style at the AFL which worked so well for them with Essendon. Probably largely a problem of being the biggest fish in town. You sometimes see the same dynamic with other large organisations that dominate their space. When you have pretty much absolute power you lose perspective. 

    The AFL is not helping the players solve any problem they have they are just helping them hide it. It seems to me totally misguided. Time for a moratorium (to give players time to sort themselves out) and then introduce a no tolerance policy. 

    As much as I dislike Collingwood they are not on their pat here and its unfair to single them out when its known other clubs have the problem.

    The way they were covering this during the telecast, they hinted that the other team was a Victorian team. Any thoughts on which team it might be?

    Every club would be around about the same. Illicit drugs are common, I know for a fact as I know a few current players from several teams.

    Let's not bag Collingwood here because it's Collingwood, our club would be around the same; maybe more, maybe less.

    Was listening to SEN, I know, and they noted that McChins was going to deny the number of players but also release a joint statement with the AFL saying neither of them really know the number as the results are kept from them as part of the code.

    Also this from Age article, [censored] poor response Ed.

    "Until the clubs have actually got some control over it there's no point talking to the clubs. It's an AFL and AFL Players Association matter."

    I wouldn't go crucifying the Pies for this as I would say it is fairly likely we had a few players in the same boat. It's a pretty common theme these days and is in no way isolated to one or two clubs. I would imagine every club would have players who have been caught for this judging by the night life these days.

    The Strike Policy is a complete joke

    The AFL refuse to realize the drug culture young people live by

    It started in the 90's and has continued to grow

    like it or not....

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
