Just watch the AFL squirm and spin their way out of this. They are not serious about drugs.

The AFL hate the WADA regime. They would much prefer to be like the major codes in USA and enforce their own policy.

First offence for PED in the NFL is a four match suspension.

    Isn't the reason that both NFL and Baseball didn't have a strong stance on doping in the past and the players stood up to being a part of WADA and the leagues have made these concessions.

    This boy will be missing for 2 years at least, just silly

    Well the NFL cannot function without artificial enhancement. Those freaks that play American team sports are not regular  humans.

    Essendon demanding a re-match of last weeks game. 

    Can we demand the whole year be re-played?

    We might struggle, Petracca’s already put on 10kg and Melksham is in Spain running from bulls.

    Does this mean that technically we should have been in the GF last year? I thought the Eagles looked to be playing like a side on performance enhancers....

    Perhaps we should share the flag with Collingwood? Well done lads, we've got number 13.

    12.5 if we have to share it.

    I'm annoyed that this has come out in the 24 hours leading up to their game tonight.  Would much prefer it to have happened tomorrow morning after the put Geelong out in straight sets.  Then we could've had Essendon AND Geelong fans going in to meltdown.

    And for the posters questioning how this could happen - it's not the urine collecting officer's role to tell them not to tamper.  They just observe then report back to ASADA that the sample was tampered with.  Seems pretty straightforward to me, and makes that part of the process a lot more transparent.

    This puts a stain on the impeccable record of a proud club. How could he have put the West Coast through this drama.

    Silly boy !!

    No 'tip-off' from HQ for starters.

    Are you suggesting that the AFL tipped-off ASADA about needing to do the collection on a Tuesday?

    Think you are misunderstanding what I wrote - what other people are questioning is how it (the tampering) could've happened given it was in front of a collector.

    He was apparently caught red handed pouring the substitute liquid into the collection container, surprised he was allowed to play in last weeks final. 

    He’s come out today and apologised, admitting defeat. Silly Willy, such an awful waste.

    Ethan, I think him playing last week was more about the processes that ASADA have in place.  From what I understand (which is limited), I think when it was flagged by the collection officer, ASADA are then required to fast-track the case.

    We're only talking a couple of weeks.  Given how long the Essendon saga went on for, for ASADA to notify the AFL 23 days after the event, I think is quite good (remembering that ASADA covers more than just Willie weeing in a bottle).

    This article explains is somewhat...

    From that article:

    "The A-sample didn’t return any evidence of a banned substance in Rioli’s system, but the finding was that there was evidence of urine substitution, which is known as a “prohibited method”

    If it wasn't a complete substitution this makes it even stranger.

    I wonder what he was trying to hide, it wasn’t game day so they don’t test for cocaine and weed.

    Well Willie clearly wasn’t trying to hide his willy in the hole he was supposed to.

    Apparently it was a Gatorade slushy and he thought the cold day would work as an excuse

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
