Oliver Can't Go #1

This thread is not about what you think it's about.

Clayton didn't need to go wee wee after the game to take his blood test so he had to remain at the ground until he needed to go and hence he missed the bus to the airport and in turn the plane ride home.

Following his 29-disposal and 11 tackle game against Gold Coast on Saturday night, Oliver was required to take a drug test after the match.

The only problem was, he didn’t need to go to the bathroom.

As his teammates left the stadium and headed to the airport, Oliver was stuck at the Gabba waiting to pee.

By the time he could complete the test, his fellow Demons were already in the air and he had missed the last flight home.

    Presumably there would have been Officials there with him including Club Doctor, etc?

    Random compliance test but/or a set-up attempting to find reasons for his brilliance?

    Who arranged this - an ex-Carlton AFL official?

    you think he is incapable of "holding his own"?

    Saw TMac taking the p!55 out of him about this one on The Sunday Footy Show.

    Pun intended.

    There is something wrong with this procedure, when because of nature a player is unable to fully comply and is then forced to stay in another city overnight and miss a flight home. His recovery is compromised and then a place to stay has to be arranged, extra costs for the player and an official from the club etc.

    Surely the test could be completed the next morning in Melbourne. Would 6-7 hours delay destroy the test? Probably not.

    I would have thought there could be some discretion applied for interstate tests.

    I think we can safely say that Essendon ruined any chance of “discretion” being applied in the testing regime - interstate or otherwise.

    Might well be what ever theyre testing for IS compromised by time. 

    If this was in Melbourne it's not an issue. Because the team were making a fast get away it impacted.

    Should we take a leaf out of another interstate club, year or so ago, and just not be there for the test.....

    According to the McDonald brothers, Oliver managed 90ml when the requirement is 100ml. He should have squeezed out a #2 afterwards, a little bit of wee always comes out.

    Can’t wait for Robbo ? to start a story about Clarrie’s attempt to avoid drug testing, in an attempt to divert from bombers ? woes.

    in those cases why not offer the player a voluntary choice of a blood test instead

    Different windows of detection.

    He should've just jumped straight in the shower.  Every guy knows that there is a reserve bladder that needs to be emptied when the water first hits you.

    The 90ml sample that couldn’t be used just went on eBay. 

    Some guy called ‘Dub’ just bid $200

    That’ll fill two shot glasses nicely.

    I am sure a blood test is far more thorough.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
