    GWS Trade

    Given that Richmond are, by all reports, willing to offer their first rounder this year (pick 12) and their first rounder next year (possible around pick 12-16 perhaps, depending on our finish) then the Collingwood deal is a disgrace. Richmond are kicking up a decent fuss behind the scenes, by...

    Review Round 12, Giants vs Kangaroos, Saturday 20th June, Spotless Stadium, 4.35pm

    Which of your three ruckmen has been performing the best though. I saw Phillips in pre-season and he looked OK, but only played in the first game. He's been emergency the last couple of weeks though, hasn't he?

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    It is amazing, with all this media speculation, how easy it is to spot those journos etc with a vested interested in the game and who will defend what has gone on until their last breath, and those who don't have a vested interest in the game. The AFL media community is a small, incestuous...

    But if the AFL has signed up to the WADA code, wouldn't it be the WADA code that must be upheld? If so, and as stated previously, the WADA code is pretty clear on AOD6904.

    The fact the AFL have come out with no statement at all on this is hugely galling. It is the ultimate "if we don't say anything it didn't happen" type of moment. Newsflash AFL - this isn't just going to go away. To WADA, the AFL is just bush-league stuff, and Demetriou and his band of cronies...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    I would hope that if players are rubbed out for taking banned substances, then they sue the Essendon Football Club. These are young guys who are, when it comes down to it, trying to make a living by plying their trade at the elite level. The fact that the "trade" is a sport shouldn't matter -...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    Agree. Jobe Watson (and, it seems, other Essendon players) have been actively misinformed or misled by the club in regards to the treatments and programs they were on. It is unfair to just come out an label Jobe Watson a drug cheat. Certainly say that he admits to taking a banned substance...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    Yes indeed. Again though - it illustrates what I'm saying. Richmond supporters thought Wallace was a good coach for a while, backed him, etc. Then, as it became more obvious that he and the regime didn't know what they were doing, and had no resources to carry through any plans, the number...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    The problem with many supporters is that they are just very loyal ... and this crosses all clubs and all codes. There are many many supporters of clubs who won't hear a bad word spoken about their team, who won't believe that they can do wrong, that they are incompetent, etc etc. They always...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    But it is a report. Just a report, nothing more. It is not legislation, it is not the rules in place to govern what is and isn't illegal. Seriously, relying on the report as an arbiter of the law is like reading a Cliff's Notes summary of a novel and then expecting to be able to properly...

    It isn't the ACC report people should be referring to as the bedrock to any opinion on AOD9604 and whether it is banned or not.ACC are not the authority (nor the judge) when it comes to what is legal or not in terms of sports doping) The key thing is that this report doesn't carry any weight...

    Competitions 2013 Bulldogs Supercoach & Dreamteam Questions

    Lachlan Hunter ... seems to be looking the goods at Willy - how far is he away from playing for the Dogs? I remember watching his dad play quite a bit (used to go to a lot of Dogs games at The Western Oval with my dad, who is a Dogs' supporter) - hope he breaks through very soon.

    Mega Thread Fantasy (DT/SC/other) questions about Hawthorn players in here only

    Hi guys - just wondering about Bradley Hill .... is he ready to step up into the Hawthorn side as a regular (non-sub) in 2013? Would his hopes be increased by Clinton Young moving on? Thanks so much.

    DREAM TEAM/SUPERCOACH - Please post ALL queries regarding Dream Team/Supercoach/Player Injuries here

    Re: DREAM TEAM/SUPERCOACH - Please post ALL queries regarding Dream Team/Supercoach/Player Injuries Liked what I saw of Sam Shaw a couple of weeks back. Is his spot secure (it seems to be) and what do you believe his scoring might be like through the year.

    Known Bugs/Issues

    Massive massive issue I've found through play testing 4-5 different scenarios over the past 2 days. Simply put - if you sub a player off during your game, the game is most likely to freeze up. I've had it happen 4 times so far. Twice I didn't quite know what had gone on, but suspected that it...
