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.

    Olympic athletes often talk of waiting until the wee hours to finally take a... provide a sample.

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
