Or did he get a false negative
Or did he get complacent and having never tested positive after usage 5 days prior previously not bother this time only for this time to be the exception?
Lots of possibilities
Exactly
As I said earlier in thread, exploiting the self-reporting loophole in the drugs policy has been going on by every club (mine excluded of course), not exactly sure how this is news, the loophole is in there by design from the AFLPA, who wouldn't agree to it otherwise.
Of course the...
Actually thought this was already common'ish knowledge.
Same as if players admit to drug use prior to testing, it doesn't count as a strike under the voluntary code.
Can see why it is very attractive and easy for clubs to keep players on the park.
Have no doubt every other club (except mine...
PSD might be, but you can't force a player to sign with you.
He doesn't want to be there and is uncontracted, after the draft if he refuses to sign he becomes a de-listed free agent and walks to his club of choice anyway.
Would have liked to see Gould given a bit longer, and picking Owen in 2022 as a rookie then dropping him in 2023 seems very quick for a young ruck when we aren't exactly blessed with options there...
Funny thread
Longmire has won silverware (2012)
Has also been to 3 further GF's (although the team s**t the bed in 2 of those (2014,2022), which must at least partially reflect on him and the teams preparations).
Reckon taking highly different teams to multiple grand finals shows he's a...
If that's the case then the AFL, should probably be looking at its own processes to, as its guidelines say that they are there, and not having them no doubt contributed to as something as obvious as Aliir's concussion being missed.
So a failure in two parts, firstly Ports, secondly the AFL's.
Yeah but then it would be defendable, even if it the incident looked horrible they could say "we did the test and it showed all clear, so we trusted that diagnosis, obviously it was a mistake as symptoms developed later"
Not doing the test no-matter what the result is, is a failure of process...
Exactly, you can't find what you don't actively look for.
It's really poor, whatever decision making process allowed for them to not just retake the field, but not even be tested on coming off the field needs some serious scrutiny.
Happening once can be an accident, happening repeatedly from...
