    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!

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
