why are people so unkind?

i like how hird has taken thompson's demise to turn it to the supplements program and how badly he (hird) was treated by everyone and victimised. it all about his ego and his refusal to accept reality

no, not the spelling, just thought it a strange choice of word.......too woody for that lot of w@nkers

effervess?????????????

i do have to laugh at "the club abandoned me" line. he got enormous support from the club, even if they didn't agree with every action he took. how entitled can one get

there is more than one defendant, ldvc ? (but i know what you mean) and absence of dna evidence doesn't amount to 'clearing'

i understand, but until there is more info, i will maintain a 'healthy' degree of suspicion ? without going overboard

because 'contamination' of evidence is a police procedural problem and needs explanation of course in court, but not only in court no-one is saying dna (trace or otherwise) is a panacea, but it raises a red flag when the biggest amount of illicit drug is mysteriously 'contaminated' and cannot be tested for dna as all the other (smaller) samples were i am wary of 'coincidences' especially in controlled and carefully planned operations like this . anyway, enough said already, i will follow this aspect with interest

well i could have guessed that much too, but then like you i would just be speculating or are you saying you have specific knowledge? nevertheless a public explanation is required from the police

i'm just suspicious in cases like this of "contamination" and asking for clarification police are highly trained in forensic sampling procedures, especially in pre-organised raids nothing personal re thompson re the mdma. just a desire for proper procedure. after that "let the chips fall where they may"

I don't understand this dna contamination of the 839gm of mdma i always understood they could detect (differentiate) multiple dna profiles in a sample and could therefore at least determine if there was any dna from thompson even where there was police dna on it due to mishandling unless.... it was suspected that the handling of another item by the police could have transferred thompson's dna from that item to the mdma whatever, i think this 'contamination' needs to be further explained publicly to eliminate any accusations of 'tampering' with evidence especially as the mdma would appear to be the largest example of 'commercial' level trafficking

so why then did foxsport publish a whole article based on an anonymous lawyer is that how you prefer your news?

if he's just talking precedent why the need for anonymity no doubt we will see more of this as we did with the essendon supplements support campaign

spinning the positive side iv'a and probably invested in a good outcome for a bomber legend

i can almost guess who the anonymous lawyer would be, bub would have had no connection to the essendon saga......not

only if the coaches don't change their game plan. i.e. they get forced to tone down the press and some of the gut two-way running if they don't then they run the risk of big late-game blow-outs ***** assuming drastic reduction in interchange *****

start at 10/qtr for a year. 15/qtr imho is not drastic enough maybe reduce bench to 3

i'm sure that argument would sound reasonable to most efc supporters

Tom Morris is not even on the list. won't happen ?

Hawks midfielder floats interchange eradication Hawthorn midfielder Isaac Smith says the state of the game might benefit from 'nearly' putting a stop to rotations on the bench http://www.afl.com.au/video/2018-05-02/headlines-ross-speaks-bomber-bailed

i've already heard one sports journalist blame his demise on the "unfair" accusations of the bummers supplements "persecution" (words to that effect) expect a lot of the "industry" to rally around and make sympathetic excuses for him gil will continue to flummox and make babbling sounds should be lots of opportunity for the sports journos to endlessly dissect it for months....without really saying anything more popcorn time

at least though ernie, having this thread is a great way to identify the nuff nuffs

6 from each team is the whole fwd + backline. this is far too restrictive if you did do it, 4 would be a more practical number

drastic cut in rotations professional umpiring + documented clearly defined change in rule interpretations (holding ball, tackling, handball/throwing etc) zones won't work other more minor points: ball up quicker when ball locked in (as it used to be) allow deliberate points (as it used to be) allow deliberate out of bounds if not on the full (as it used to be) allow 2nd man up except at centre bounces (as it used to be) 25m (minor) + 50m (major) penalties

richmond have also been blessed by a lack of injuries
