There is no doubt absolutely none that the drug was declared illegal in 2010 or 2011. What I think they will base their defence on is not that the drug wasn't declared illegal, but rather that we can't be certain that is the drug they were given. In other words they admit they were going to use it, but they can't be sure that is what they got. I can't see that getting up. As far as the AFL is concerned the club will be slammed and the players will escape penalty. That is different to ASADA who will seek to ban any users, no matter what they thought of its illegality.

They will not get off. We now have an admission from the captian that they took an illegal drug, thinking it was legal. That is no defence to ASADA. Further the AFL will be fuurious, as I have said before, that they gave drugs to kids and can't tell them even today what they took and what are the side effects. This is a disgusting event that makes any other issue in the AFL seem like nothing.

Saw film of Crowley barrelling into Boomer and sending him sprawling before the game started. Umpire right there tell Crowley to calm down and no free kick. Commentators furious as no free kick paid. Then I contrast that with the soft bump on Jones of the Saints, by Dunn, when Garland is about to kick out and reversal and Nick gets a free from 10 metres out. That is just so inconsistent. Amazing how weak sides cop that so often. There were four pathetic free goals given to the Saints, all controversial, yet not one to us. Funny that.

Just finished reading the book on Black Caviar by Gerard Whately, a very good read. Today I was in Chadstone shopping centre in the book shop and bought two books. One was the Master, the story of Bart Cummings, by the the greatest racing writer in the world, Les Carlyon. The second was a bit smaller and is called Life is Sport and Sport is Life, by Tami and Paul Roos. Thought it might be interesting.

Pedersen is not in our best 28-30 and makes poor decisions. He is also not a very hard at it footballer. IMO he is a VFL footballer. I would never play Byrnes again. I watched him for a lot of the game. He doesn't even try and spoil if the kick is not directly to him. He is slow. He turned it over yesterday on nearly every possession he had. Reluctantly I would play him at Casey. As one of the other club's recruiters said, " he was struggling in the VFL last year".
