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.

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.

No .... back to 2018 PF would be better.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
