monoccular

Whatley is and always has been my very favorite sports commentator and caller. A class act who knows his stuff and says what he means. Well done.

Footy clubs keep records of everything regarding every player. Weight, height, what they eat, when they pee, what they pee, running, jumping.....yet when doing an illegal unconscionable human experiment ...."I know nothing"! Absolutely incredible. Absolutely reprehensible Absolutely illegal..

Well I would expect (contract status permitting) that that trio won't be here 2016. So one other could be worth a punt. Over to Roos et al.

He epitomizes how hard work, focus and dedication get rewarded. (Hi, Colin. How are things in the west?)

He will have to work extra hard, given that he was considered the right guy to be listed then walked for whatever reasons, to convince Roos (and Goodwin) that he has the desire and drive to deserve a place back on the (rookie) list. I will trust their judgement. They haven't done much wrong.

OMG - I haven't been able to see 360 but this is a new level of delusion surely. Pot calling kettle black re destroying evidence. Shredding evidence didn't help Phillip Morris nor should it help EssUndone.

He was respected as a player, though does anyone maybe have some doubts now?? What was around then? What was tested then?

...or merge and relocate there :-)

Interesting to browse the Declaration of Helsinki which govern human experimentation Parts of the summary include Research should be based on a thorough knowledge of the scientific background (Article 11), a careful assessment of risks and benefits (Articles 16, 17), have a reasonable likelihood of benefit to the population studied (Article 19) and be conducted by suitably trained investigators (Article 15) using approved protocols, subject to independent ethical review and oversight by a properly convened committee (Article 13) Where are the records???????

Most disappointing is the AFLPA lack of concern for the health of their players. All they seem concerned about is their image. Mirrors Bruce Reid's lack of concern for his patients - seemed more concerned for his employer. Unethical (at best).

Really? All that would come out of a not guilty verdict is that the was not sufficient proof that they cheated, or tried to cheat. The stench will persist until the entire football department and board moves on, and then some.

Interesting re jailing - in which juristriction would that happen?

And Jimmy's too? Bringing the game into disrepute. Hall of Fame retraction? Hird / Little = Gatting. WADA = Warne!And as for Little not seeing it coming - absolutely no surprise at all, as his head is so far up a dark place that he couldn't see anything

Surely 'records destroyed ' = guilty !

Well, something has gone right for Tom. Surely more than just dieting. Lots of hard mental and physical work for starters - please note certain other players.

Sadly, I think he is finished. If he could transfer his work ethic and endeavor to a few of his teammates it would be great. We could even be a top 8 team right now. He has got everything out of himself, through hard work, but I am afraid that time has passed him by.

We have had a fair bit of help over the years but, until recently, have not used them well. That said, it was unfortunate that we were down and in need just when these two artificial teams were being built the AFL, getting the cream of several drafts.

On those occasions that we have applied pressure this year we have done ok - well. Trouble will be applying it for four quarters next (or any) week. Time will tell.

Maybe we should employ a sports scientist. I hear that there is a guy called Rank, or is it Dark...something like that, who is out of a job.

It would be great were that contagious

So Jamar isn't being 'rested' as some have suggested.

He isn't up to scratch, but really calling an AFL listed player a 'dud' is most offensive and shows no respect for the enormous amount of hard work he has put in over the years.

Billy Stretch - I must say he is in far sooner than most would have expected. Anyone who saw him at Casey, are you surprised too?

Well, in the medicolegal sphere, certainly no records = fail.

Bloody disgrace that this was even looked at. Pav chose to run into Garland after taking the mark. No need at all. Absolute Karma that he got injured.
