if they ONLY fine the bombers for throwing drugs around left right and centre it will be a disgrace. no matter how big the fine. the message will be "use whatever you want, you just have to pay $". if youre a rich club, you might as well use them for a year and youll easily get those $ back in revenue. imagine if a roman abramovic bought a club? heres a cool $100 million boys, use whatever you like, ill pay the fine. no. they must ban anyone and everyone who is guilty. for years.

there is no reason (for example) we couldnt wear a 70s throwback light blue jumper with red away to teams like port and essendon. NONE. or the saints for that matter. there is no reason we could not wear a jumper with a red yoke, navy below it for a few inches and then red again, effectively giving the jumper a blue v on a red background (use your imagination) for teams that still clash (like carlton). in fact, there is no team i can think of where we would need to wear white at all, but still having a significantly different jumper.

that doesnt mean they have to be white.

Jetta chase and tackle on the wing, play on? Really? Horrible call

GAME CHANGER and dont forget the IVs

he sent us an email. big whoop.

given the casey player (the name escapes me) got an 18 month ban for unknowingly ORDERING something that was illegal...

So by taking it, surely that means he was in possession of it? And if this was the tour, the team wouldnt be riding..

I was under the impression that simply being an official in posession of performance enhancing drugs was enough to break the asada/wada code?

had a big run on fox sports news

Lift your heads and play like Demons

If we are talking about people to be president id like to see robbie flower. The guy started and runs a successful business [seda) and knows a thing or two about footy...

the difference is that the journos "saw" us tanking. they made up their minds from what they could see. we say nothing in the media during investigation and everyone wonders why not, even though it was faceless "ex players" commenting. they say nothing and its a good move, even though we know who it was who is accusing them.

Give neeld a 3 year extension. And do it now.

Love how they are all bleating about innocent until guilty... We were guilty until we were not guilty, and everyone still thinks we were guilty, despite being [censored] woeful.

im trying to clear something up in my head so bear with me for a second. the catch all clause. basically every drug starts as illegal. a new drug is classed as illegal. at a point in time either ASADA/WADA verifies the drug as acceptable or another body (ie a medical body) approves the use of the drug as medicine (for example, the anti inflammatory i sometimes have to take for asthma, prednisolone would be acceptable for someone who has asthma under ASADA but not for someone who doesnt). this is where the catch all clause comes in - they cant possibly allow the newest drug that no one has heard of to be legal when its NOT CLASSIFIED SAFE FOR HUMANS YET - so therefore it by default has to be illegal. ooops essendon, ooops.

theyre boned.

im pretty sure the AFL only lets the players wear certain approved gloves now, as opposed to anything they wanted in the past.

Thanks for that caro

How many did the swans have in the gf? You dont need to have football skills to tackle.

I want every player to have AT LEAST 5 tackles.

meh, he probably doesnt know

I WOULD agree........ but knowing how caro operates she has probably just made it all up.

David King of all people was just defending watts on afl insider. basically said the the media treatment was unfair. showed vision of him against essendon where he was set up as an option to kick to in defence and when the ball was turned over he had 4 (YES 4) essendon players to cover in the corridor as the rest of the dees players were lolly gagging about on the flank. and of course one player takes the mark (this case it was alwyn davey), watts got there late and thats what everyone sees, but he was trying to cover 4 players. said he watched the watts whole first quarter and said he was playing unselfish team footy where his direct opponent didnt get a kick. this is from david "i hate melbourne" king remember. he then went on to say our defensive system was up the creek - and i watched the game from level 4 and i agree with him. last week we didnt have players going to the man with the ball. this week we had players leaving their opponent (of course leaving them free) to go to the player with the ball. its a step forward i guess but there was one passage of play where they just went to the player abotu to get the ball, leavin gtheir opponent about 6 times. of course their opponent got the ball and the bombers just short kicked it forward to the next loose man, eventually bombing it into the 50 (where most of our players were flooding). how can this be fixed? if you see this happening, everyone has to roll up onto the next opponent straight away, leaving everyone one on one.
