For all the fair criticism WCE and ESS get, time to start putting the heat on COLL. Definitely no angels.

    no...not performance enhancing... like the Saad energy drink ... different rules

    From The Age:

    "The substance in question is understood to be an illicit drug, which is classified as performance enhancing on match day only. Had he recorded a positive test during the week, he would merely have a strike recorded against him under the AFL's illicit drugs code."

    If it's in his system on match day it's considered a PED. To my mind, when he took it is a poor excuse. Was he tested on match day? If so, it should be 2 years.

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

    But if you’re still over the limit on match day that doesn’t matter does it?

    Is there even such a test to determine when its was taken? In terms of hours taken before a game?

    It doesn’t matter- if it’s there, it’s there.  That’s the only test that matters.

     

    Not really buying the ‘but it’s only banned on match day’ line (pardon the pun).  This drug is in fact banned 24/7, 365 and 1/4 days of the year.  Murray’s either an addict who cannot help himself and needs immediate intervention, or he is a complete and utter moron.

    Probably both TPF39.

    Thats how I've always viewed it TPF39, anything in the system that is tested on Game day, whether it be taken on a Thursday night but still detected on sat arvo is gone.

    If it’s in your system on match day it doesn’t matter when you took it.... 

    Love a good forum defence lawyer.

    Wow I thought he was some VFL player... didnt realize he drug tested after an AFL match.

    Did they win the game he played in?      If they won that game and Gillon McLachlan doesn't strip their 4 points by the end of the day,  he has to step down.

    Was this after the Port Adelaide match? This could have HUGE ramifications on the 8!

    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!

    Justice is a surprising reward, at times. There is no alternative - if the AFL is appropriately sensitive to performance enhancement substances as we must all expect it to be. Number crunching and escalation aside....

    it will be months before he is found guilty/cleared

    long after the finals

    afl can't act until due process is completed

    Barrett on the AFL site says the match was ‘possibly’ the game against Richmond on July 28.

    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.  

    Sam Murray tested positive after Collingwood v Richmond.

    For this game and all games that he played in after that Collingwood should be stripped of those points, that is 4 wins so they should be stripped of 16 points taking them back to 40 points dropping them to 12th.

    Seriously the AFL needs to put this action in place on the basis that this is ASADA testing, before we go down the Essendon path.

    an understandable opinion

    In his system on match day, Peter.  Nice try.

    • 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.
