    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.

    Prime Minister coup or Collingwood drug scandal? Herald Sun absolutely stumped for today's front page.

    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?

    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!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
