I do not know for sure so it is best I don't speculate further I reckon

Bizarre that reasonable posts about potential health problems were deleted but this appalling stuff is left up.

Not as funny as you MCW.

You obviously don't understand  the reference from DD about " taking stuff " is as I indicated an inaccurate assertion on Shane's social habits.

It has been reinforced universally by Shane ( and friends) that He did not do drugs so To completely clear the air DD should write a retraction of his assertion about "taking stuff ". That's all I asked.

If you find that funny I am dumbfounded. 

Yeah nah, you’re right: it’s not funny…

It’ hilarious. 
The fact that you expect a retraction. A RETRACTION! Who tf does that??!! The  astronomical number of times someone on here has commented on a famous person’s “social habits” and said waaaaay worse things and, more pertinently, way more inaccurate things, and you take exception with this comment???? SMH

 

Oh, and please stop calling me MCW!!! They’re not my initials!

But is it “appalling” though, LN? 
I see it as someone taking a molehill and turning it into Mt. Everest. Dub didn’t make a statement that warrants  an apology, let alone a retraction. Besides, he then went on to concede that he doesn’t know for sure and therefore would bow out of the convo. Especially irksome is that the ‘mountain-maker’ is someone who routinely makes abrasive comments without even a nanosecond of hesitation.

Making accusations of drug taking about someone who has just passed away and then backing it up with 'oh but I don't know if it's even true' IS appalling in my books.

Other factual posts about health issues were deleted in regards to hypothesizing about Warne's untimely demise, yet this kind of gutter rumour mongering is allowed to stay up. That's very poor.

Clearly we’re not on the same page. Ie, we’re barking up two separate trees. I get your point and I respect it. You’ve explained it well. 
My point is that what constitutes ‘poor form’ in this instance is when someone takes someone else to task over what may be construed as an (indirect) accusation of drug-taking, resulting in the OP admitting to not knowing for sure and therefore will bow out, only to have the ‘pot-stirrer’ mount the highest horse poss and request a retraction. Seriously?! Give me a break. 
Anyways, being that we’re all merely human, it figures that at times we won’t see eye to eye on a particular issue. All good. Now ima do a DubDee and bow out gracefully 🙂

WCW out 👋

If you don't know for sure, you shouldn't even bring it up (not that it would be appropriate either way mind you).

I wholeheartedly agree! So now let’s demand a retraction from each and every poster who does exactly this. May take a while since it happens all too often. But will be worth it to appease the holier-than-thou brigade.  A retraction. That’s next level lols right there.

I do not sink as low as make a post or potentially make mischief about a deceased person when they have publicly stated the opposite, then admit I don't know any facts to back up my comment. 

And amazingly Making Civil War admits it is wrong but defends the making of an apology as to good to be true  as many before make incorrect or statements lacking in fact  or evidence  but  don't express their regret when called out.

This is a case of the person caught typecasting by their own opinion and missing the target by miles and not being decent enough to really admit that it was an inappropriate posting under all considerations and  in view of the public interest and feelings in this matter.

Lets get back to the real situation. A very sad one .

In the space of a few weeks  world sport has suffered the loss of three outstanding sportsmen. John Landy, champion runner and person, the epitome of sportsmanship, Rodney Marsh, wicketkeeper/ batsman of the highest order, and Shane Warne greatest spin bowler of all time. Rest in peace my sporting heroes. You gave us much pleasure in your pursuits.

Thanks for that info Satan. Overlooked Dean's untimely passing.  Another champion gone.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
