My hope is it is purely a precaution:  We are responding to what has happened to the swimmer by being ultra-cautious. I’m sure we will get a lot more testing now (red flag to the ASADA bull), but *hope* there is nothing to see, just good governance to remove an identifiable risk....

    Its all starting to make sense now......Why McDonald was missing goals from 20m out.....why Angus looks lost and players were not taking shots from 25m.......and Pruessy manning the mark the wrong way......theyre on the good stuff!

    More like the bad stuff. ?

    Don’t bet on it Ethan, having sat in about 15 lectures from ASADA, cross contamination is one of the leading factor in positive drug tests in athletes. Every athlete (and coach) from about 14 years of age that has any involvement with Australian and state based teams must complete a host of education measures including completing an online module provided by ASADA. I myself have to complete this module yearly to remain qualified to coach on teams. In those modules it discusses the very topic consistently.

    Heres an interesting article on the Shayna Jack issue:

    And a link to the topic on the ASADA website:

    interestingly Swimming Australia is sponsored by a supplement company, so they must be considering their position right about now.

     

    I don't think any of Norm Smih's teams took any supplements - how about just some good wholesome steak?  ?

    Supplements have destroyed EssUndon's brand forever.   Why use supplements at all?

    Cause no Aussie athlete would take performance enhancing drugs on purpose.
    We're far too righteous for that.

    No Chinese players at MFC, and not too many performing so we are surely in the clear.

    Might also explain why Trac swam toward the bottom of the pool rather than across it Wadda.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
