  4. Titus's take on it all   ( well the Charlie ) love this bit ""On the one hand, ASADA, WADA, the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the Swiss Federal Tribunal all say Jobe took a performance enhancing substance. Yet, he’s apparently a really good bloke, makes a mean coffee and a lot of people feel he didn’t take anything illegal. You can see why this is so difficult for the AFL Commission. Those things cancel each other out.""

  9. Demonland.. For every response there is at least one equal and opposite retort
  10. An excellent article by Tim Lane The AFL Commission needs to deal in fact. Two facts to be precise. As you may or may not get behind the paywall, probably the most poignant of all points is that which many here have been saying for a long while; The Charlie is about the Best and Fairest.. Tim puts it as : "The first is the description of the fundamental criteria designed to determine the outcome of the game's most coveted individual honour. The Brownlow Medal is an award for the 'best' and the 'fairest' player in each year. The time-honoured matter of 'fairest' continues to be treated with sufficient seriousness by the AFL that a player who is suspended – even for one week – due to an offence committed in that season, is automatically rendered ineligible for the award. Which you'd think locks the gate on a player hit with a two-year suspension for an 'unfairness' violation. " Having already noted that suspension will negate your ability to win the Brownlow , and that this can be as a result of a less than conscious felony of the game then surely you have to treat being in breach of Anti_Doping in the same light/ "Well, 'fair' has two relevant meanings. The first connotes to playing within the rules, and here – many would argue – the Essendon star has long been beyond reproach. He has always appeared to be a fair and honourable footballer. He has, nevertheless, found himself in breach of the WADA code. It's the second meaning of 'fair', though, which unambiguously trips Watson up. For this meaning relates to competing with one's rivals on a level playing field. Athletes who dope, or who are doped – even if unconsciously – can't possibly claim that they competed in a way that was fair to their rivals. Put simply, if a player is found to have been in breach of the WADA code, he is adjudged to have gained an unfair advantage. Intent doesn't come into it." I shan't quote the entire article but he does make an interesting argument. I would however wish to point out to Mr Lane that Jobe Watson has indeed been found guilty of NOT playing within the rules. The issue of the Brownlow does indeed not require 'intent". I would think though there is sufficient evidence to show that the 34 did indeed intend to flout the rules. Any which way. I do concur Mr Lane. The AFL has no real decision to make. Its really made for them. What is the question is do they have the moral fibre to carry it out?
  11. Good luck Jared. but bu golly Collingwood is an odd beast !!
  12. I get that..Just didnt quite get how VP was positioning its value. cheers
  13. not sure I follow...pick 86 is not for a rookie
  14. Thing is there's already a heap of precedent for AFL teams being done for sloppy 'whereabouts'. Here is gets worse for GWS because there will be evidence of intent to evade for purposes of non-compliance with drug testing. Player goes down, (ban ) those who helped go down (ban ) and team goes down ( fine )
  15. Sorry I was viewing it more as general intent as opposed to the stricter WADA guidelines. They ( the naughty ones ) would have us believe it was all innocent, just a set of innocuous circumstances, nothing to see , move on etc. It's plainly obvious it was nothing of the sort and was a planned effort to evade the narks !! Its a long and convoluted read but the relevant rules regarding Whereabout for Athletes ( includes AFL players ) is Whereabouts Policy ;ASADA Now if Lachie hadn't updated ADAMS to inform them of where he would/might be, especially providing a hour window for any testing then he is in breach. Any person(s) helping any athlete to evade will also have breached the rules.. if ( and we know its a pack of lies ) they hadnt simply wished to avoid said GF they could have 'hidden' from her where ever they liked, they could have played test games, all they liked, but they NEEDED to have registered where he was on ADAMS. Seems they didnt !!! oops !!!
  16. There is a simple test as to intent (guilt) was there an accidental oversight to requirements ? If yes theyd be hit with a stern warning and a not insignificant fine, as have many clubs. if NO, then they conspired to evade,obfuscate, deceive, lie..etc etc. Throw book at them if the case. Those not bothering to read rules, should.
  17. just read this myself. What a sorry cast of misfits we make, have we no life ? Back to the Gat , its future graveky uncertain. Whelan waits no doubt
  18. the jury is out apparently down the pub downing jugs and laughing hysterically. Good times all round !!!
