They have none to show.

This will be "investigated by the integrity commissioners (LOL?) and there will be absolutely no case to answer - I guess the only circumstance something could turn up would be were he somehow be traded to a "less relevant club."

 

I am totally amazed that this simple 'investigation' has taken so long. Wait...., no I'm not. It's the Australian Fudge League standard practice.

Matthews from GWS very keen to say: 'nothing to see here, move on'.

But its not whitewashed, yet.  From the AFL:  "The AFL will now forward its completed brief to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA)."

Looks like it was ASADA that started the investigation:  "ASADA received information from a member of the public in July 2015 regarding this matter... we consulted with the AFL in August last year and both parties agreed that the AFL would be best placed to conduct the investigation into whether there was a breach of the AFL rules and/or of the AFL Anti-Doping Code."

Anyone else feeling suspicious...?

So the AFL have been caught almost literally burying a body.

Their excuse: "Good timing! We were just digging up this body ... to take to the coroner ... valuable evidence ... Thank god, the criminals might now be brought to justice."

Meanwhile at AFL house, Mark Evans receives the secret code and starts warming up the shredders.

So am I right in thinking that it's taken the AFL an entire year to investigate. Has it come to light via the AFL or another party?

The nearest thing to a backbone they've experienced is the superb oxtail soup at Vue de Monde.

Gubby Allen implicated. 

Imagine the outcry from Collingwood if he gets banned for 2-4 years. 

AHHHHHHHHHH

 

I'm imagining.

 

Break out the cognac.

 

AHHHHHHHHHHH.


I don't get it (I may just not be so bright) If the AFL has investigated for an entire year why has there been no decision? If he does play and it's found that he was avoiding a drug test, what does that mean in terms of results of finals? Am I missing something here?

Most likely swept under the carpet or the usual rule changes to suit the afl whenever they feel like, need to or have their backs up.

Do they honestly  know how good their competition is ffs.

I love football and without any bias whatsoever it is THE best sport played in the world.....HOWEVER 

It is overseen by the biggest , but very powerful boysclub. My belief is the top players are in control of our game as without realizing it they run it subconsciously. Now my issue is u could be blind freddy and still run the competition because its that GOOD (UNDERSTATEMENT!)

These Muppets have no idea about sport and come up with these ridiculous  weekly  social issues to promote or some VERY,VERY cringe worthy concepts or promotional ideas yet they cant kill AFL.

Iv gone off track a little and doesn't read as i imagined but seriously the head honchos at afl house would be dangerous if not so comical.

Id give my left one to be involved at that level to manage the game as i can see the game as a supporter of sport and  that the possibilities are endless but not these bozos. They treat the comp as their own or influence in every wrong way possible. And yes these people run this comp. Cant wait to see what embarrassing moment they choose for grand final. They all need to be taken on a long oneway  fishing trip for there actions. Basically we have the best code in the world and still can't govern or control without being.....shady

 

 

 

If he played for Melbourne, he would not be found guilty, but the coaches and support staff would be suspended and we would loose all draft picks.

Nah, this investigation doesn't pass the sniff test.

Sumple case of footy 'white line fever'.

Collingwood will stick up for grubby after all he called out that he helped players evade drug detection as part of his duties on his CV, thats what sold Eddie on him in the first place.

Quote from the Article: 

"When Whitfield spent those nights in the Lamberts' home, he did not follow drug policy protocols by informing the relevant authorities.  There is a suggestion he was advised not to do so.  The climate at the time was shrouded in some paranoia for players after Collingwood pair Josh Thomas and Lachlan Keeffe had tested positive to performance-enhancing substances as a result of illicit drug use".

Pretty ordinary when club officials give kids poor advice.  It seems no-one has learnt anything from all the different drug sagas of recent years. 

As an aside Collingwood were supposed to announce Grubby Allen's new job today but all is quite at the Holden Centre :unsure:

Me thinks this story has a bit to run still...

No doubt. If it was established that he avoided drug testers, he should not be playing. I'm sure there may be reasons to feel sympathetic but it shouldn't alter the outcome.

Do you really need to ask PF? The only question to now be answered is how much of a cover up is it? I.e. AFL complicit.

I like the Wilson article. The AFL has sat on this for a year. They must have known about Allen's involvement and, in turn, what did Collingwood know?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
