I thought that would be self explanatory . Any player who can’t meet the standards set by WADA (which by the way, the AFL & all the players have signed up & consented to) should face the full consequences of their actions.
I don’t see what the controversy is here. Why should any highly paid...
You’re missing the point. The health & safety aspect is not the main issue here, it’s the dishonesty, deceit, lies, manipulation, hypocrisy, secrecy, unethical conduct, etc etc etc.
The best thing the AFL can do to combat the drug culture is by allowing the players to fail the WADA drug...
A friend of mine does drug screening tests for FIFO workers at a large mining site. Each rotation, a select group of employees are randomly chosen to provide a mandatory urine/saliva sample. If you fail the test without an adequate medical exemption, you are immediately escorted off the...
Is this a back 6 problem, or a team wide issue by pressing to high up the ground to lock the ball in?
Should we designate a sweeper type role to counteract this? Maybe someone like Bergman who has both leg speed & aerial smarts to cover the holes?
Yes, we got the win, but against an opponent who was fielding its weakest side in more than a decade. The glaring lack of effort & intent in the first half was everything we’ve come to be accustomed to under a Hinkley led side. It’s fair to say that we desperately need our two best competitors...
Uninspiring win, but under the circumstances good signs going forward.
Soldo is an enormous upgrade on Lycett
Our backline looks solid & should only get better as the season progresses
We missed SPPs influence up front
Happy to bring in Williams for Lachie who should be played forward while...
I’m with everyone else, without Coleman, I’d be very surprised if the Lions even make the GF now. He’s crucial to their transition out of defence & I’m not sure they have the cattle to replace him.
Docherty is a good leader & very reliable at half back, but you feel the Blues have got the...
The concept to grow the game up North makes sense, but that’s where the positives end for me.
Apart from Finals, the opening round is the most eagerly anticipated group of matches every season. To think it needs some cheap, marketing gimmick is beyond a joke.
Hell, delay the season by a week...
Let’s face it, the ‘Opening Round’ was nothing more than a gimmicky carnival side show act that the AFL invented to expand the game in northern states.
It doesn’t work, it’s underwhelming & should never happen again.
That’s really rough on the kid, & probably puts a massive dent in Brisbanes chances of going all the way this year. Was blossoming into one of the games best rebounding defenders.
In light of Webster’s foolhardy indiscretion, even David King is now saying maybe we went too hard on SPP. No **** Sherlock, if Sam’s was worth 4 (which it clearly isn’t), then Webster must take a 2 month hit at the bare minimum.
💯%. The moral crusaders thought it was a fantastic idea to use SPP as a poster child to end world hunger, ummm I mean concussion. Just two weeks later Jimmy Webster gives everyone a free history lesson of 80s football by trying to get Simpkin medivaced to the nearest ICU.
This was the correct...
