Luvs ya work, Drunkn167.

I simply must respond to that. Tim Watson was no more a cheat than Melksham or Hibberd. It is the greatest tragedy that Watson lost his Brownlow yet it had to,happen. The Essendon players did not  know they were being doped. They were badly let down by their admin and coach.

The penalties imposed were, nevertheless, appropriate. But to make disgraceful allegations against Watson is behind the pale. Please tell me how his case differed from Hibberd or .Melksham.

Fair comment @Farmer - I said that out of turn and tarring him with the same brush as Dank etc was not accurate.

Firstly, it's Jobe, not Tim.

Secondly, players have been told for many years that they are responsible for what goes into their body.  To be systematically injected weekly (off-site) when it had never happened before should have been thought provoking enough for an experienced player like Watson.

He knew it was an edgy program designed to be advantageous.

Agreed.

Thirdly, they conveniently left the "supplement" they were being injected with off a list that they had to submit to ASADA detailing what had been put into their bodies. All the players know what they were doing was pushing the limits, and they were aware that they could be found cheating.

It's a forum for supporters to express their views m8.

Deal with it. 

 

And I have expressed mine but it is you who have the problem with being held to account on your irrational pleasure at Dom Tyson being omitted in the first round.

No. Weideman is the backup Ruck, and Bull can't ruck. 

I don't really know where Smith will fit into the AFL side, but he's playing too well in the reserves to be left out. I guess that's actually a really good sign, when players can't get a Senior gig purely because the Seniors are playing too well.

Good call.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
