Let's talk Ports!

I have no problems with the alcohol comment in there. You can guess the reasons why it's there but even though he's not a high profile it stops rumours dead. Car crash? No club release? Uh-oh Neady's in trouble something's wrong. Stops that s**t dead. Like I said I don't know why it's there but I'd prefer it included. Your never sure it could even be port adelaide internal leak to avoid a blowup.

I tend to agree, I don't mind the inclusion of it just to stop what would have undoubtedly been a lot of speculation.

Their way of wording it was a bit off though. They could have worked it in a little bit more organically, like saying where he'd been beforehand and then slip in that he hadn't been drinking.

It stops speculation. People speculate because...

Car accident and public figure. I get where you're going, but people would speculate if he wasn't indigenous as well.

That said, the Venn Diagram between Goodes Booers and Blood Alcohol Concentration speculators would see the Goodes Booer circle entirely within the other circle.

How sensitive are we? we have had 2 recent incidents of drink driving with AFL players. It is not race related at all, it is because of the recent events. People need to stop being so sensitive to racism. The fact that you guys are saying there is a racist element to the comment is more racist than the comment.

Explain why, explain why a blown tyre needs that comment.
If he'd just crashed into a tree then maybe, but a blown tyre?

Glad to hear that Neade is ok.

 

[rogerjames]

Love to watch Neade play and rapt he's OK. Looking forward to seeing him in our R1 team and him holding his spot on form throughout the year. Would love to see O'Shea and Neade step up from the start of the season not half way through

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Luke Hodge has ruined it for everyone.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Every move by indigenous players is made political, insanity.

The facts are hodge got off insanely lightly for his misdemeanor, had neade done the same it would have been considerably worse.

There are undoubtable facts that alcohol is a problem in indigenous communities, which lends itself to the situation we are now in re: "why did they need to specify blood alcohol?". They really were damned if they did and damned if they didn't, and it's open to interpretation as to if it's right or wrong to have specified. As long as the same rule is now applied to any player involved in such incidents, then I don't see a problem.

Personally, I'm glad they specified no alcohol and I'm glad neade is okay. It's the full facts of the story with nothing left to speculation.

I have a question....

Can robbie win the brownlow this year?

My thoughts...

I asked this because last year he wasnt well known and had no rep though he was the best player in the comp.... this year he has reputation now....should be considered top 5 in the league...besides wingod who takes votes off him?

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Thank god neadey is okay.

Why even bring up 0 alcohol level...

Its Jakey f***ing Neade...an upstanding citizen..not luke "good bloke" podge

Love Jakey one of my faves glad he is ok

Actually, speaking of blood alcohol. SA Police News publish blood alcohol readings from just about everything now that I think about it. One just this morning.

Reckon he'll poll better than last year. Much better. Will it be enough to win? Dunno? But you'd think his brilliance won't fly under the radar with the men in green and grey this year. Then again, those guys. Crazy bastards...

Usually was our best player in our losses

I didn't think about it as he's indigenous, I assumed it was written in because he's a footy player. I too thought it was over the top.

They are human.

Go the home jumper, it won't show up if you spill drinks/food on it. That away jumper will show up any little stain.

Nice work on the Impy look!

No worries enjoy your night!

Don't know what the fuss is re the reporting of Neade's accident! You people are soooo sensitive. Up here in Qld they have this in EVERY accident report! Eg "Police report that alcohol and speed were not a factor in the accident" ... Or substance. Nothing odd about it whatsoever.
