More upset that bannister tweets an apology for the high free kick he gave and the afl tell him not to do it again. Thats everything thats wrong with the afl

These pricks are going to get pick 1. What a disgrace

Wish we would inflict pain when we tackle as well as just grabbing blokes.

Ducking your head to get a free kick a bigger crime in popular afl land than systematic drug cheating

Kicking in danger rule gone forever

At the game but i have less than no time for tim watson. If my son was injected 1000s of times with literally godknowswhat id be losing my [censored], not defending the club he plays for Father of a drug cheat

Watching NRL... we should bring it back. Obviously the format is the problem so i propose this: Played 2nd week of finals (bit of a dud weekend really) Players from top 6 teams still left in finals dont play obviously Doesnt matter so much if a player gets injured as its the end of the season and they cant win the flag anyway Ok so the best players from those 6 teams miss out but id rather have the big V back Re the allies - sod them off. Play it like the country leagues play against eachother. SStates ranked 1v2 play off for trophy 3v4 for right to play the number 1 team the following year 5v6 for the right to play in 3v4 game Etc. Win go up, lose go down. Just my thoughts

Draft order based on number of wins over 3 years. No tanking No handouts for essendon Would slow down the regeneration a bit of teams who are truly truly rubbish but they will get lower picks down the road anyway. Might encourage trading of picks/players too.

Yeah i remember all those friday night games in 05 when we were good* *sarcasm

Perfectly summed up why the afl will never give us lots of prime time slots despite their "if you play better youll get them" assurances.

They certainly shouldnt get pick 1 or 2 as a result of having 12 players banned for drug taking. Last in the order of the draft would be sufficient

Be interested to know what ebert did to cause that reaction

Hahahaha this is great. The blokes lying on his back and throws his whole body backwards but it was a bad tackle. Kid would get 9.5s from the soviet and chinese judges

Kinda hope freo tank ridiculously hard so the drug cheats dont get pick 1.

The one infront of the members when he threw himself backwards was the worst. [censored].

Enjoying that wada have retested 2008 beijing samples. This is the way forward along with investigation. We might not catch you now but our techniques will catch ip and we will get you eventually.

If you actually dont understand the link between athletes riding bikes govered by the wada code and athletes running on a field governed by the wada code then you should probably have a think.

Not to mention - deterrent. Stop others doing the same. In the case of russia i think it will be needed.

Because tough [censored]. Dont cheat.

I dunno, they are talking about banning the whole of Russia from the olympics given their state sancioned doping program. A tour de france team would be given a ban also. A storm style play for no points would have been sufficient. But they did that already

Footy in qld just isnt doing very well right now. Give it a year or 2 and both teams will be fine.

Not to mention the whole anti wada code sentiment thats flying around from people like bomber etc. A case like this is THE EXACT reason the code is written like it is, with 100% responsibility on the athlete.

Yeah any time essendon actually want to tell the world exactly what happened would be good. Especially the night before they self declared. Was the shredder in overdrive? Another empty apology for bad governance doesn't cut it. And they shouldn't be doing things like asking hal hunter for costs for them to tell him what he was given only to recind it because of 4 corners. That for me speaks volumes of their attitude still... playing the PR game.

Yes
