I wouldn't be casting too many stones on this one 'brendan'...

It's a problem in all clubs from what I hear, big problem.

You would have to be mad to think it has improved...

"Things go Better", seems to be the choice these days.

Young men, risk takers, time and money...plenty of hangers on.

Third Collingwood player in a few years.

Crisis.

Clearly the club needs total disqualification, meaning that MFC, should they win on Sunday, would finish fourth ??

But seriously looking forward to McChinny spin on this.

The panel on SEN this morning raised an interesting discussion.

Should a team be stripped of the 4 points had the team won if the player tested positive on that particular game day?

In horse racing a win is taken away when a horse returns a positive swab on the day, I understand it’s a totally different scenario and more an individual competition but, how many players would need to test positive on ‘ Game Day’ for points to be stripped?

Also, is positive testing on match day included in the 3 strike policy?

Pity the AFL were not so diligent back when cousins was in his early career!

Oh, they were. Didn't you see the way they went after Dale Lewis? Scorched earth!

Fortunately, this time it's ASADA on the job.

  1. Yes
  2. Game day illicit drug taking is treated as performance enhancing so different drug code

Peter Gordon on ABC:

Drug was banned on match day only... Defence may be that it was not taken within 24 hours of playing

Nice try Pete, but if it’s still in your system, it is still enhancing performance. When it was taken is irrelevant.

Imagine if one of his teammates also had tested pos and WADA came down hard on Collingwood for 2 pos players! AFL kick them out of the finals like Essendrug was. Melbourne beat GWS on Sunday and finish top 4!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
