Was in the best couple of players and showed more ticker than most so can get on the juice every Thursday if thats how he responds!

Just wondering what club commitments that the boys had today? Attended a fantastic night of boxing last night and one of our players was in attendance and would be a bit rusty this morning. Just wondering what he would have been required to do today at the club as I am unaware. Can anyone help?

First of all - tear them a new one today. But the diet thing is not nothing. There is a massive difference between diet straight after the game and during the week. Everyone would have seen the pizzas etc delivered to the rooms after Friday nights - vitally important to quick recovery is...

I agree with this when Warne could bowl the quick, accurate flipper before stuffing his shoulder (think Cullinan time). After he injured the shoulder the flipper was good but not great. So Warne in that time, Tendulkar narrowly after Warne's injury

CASE 1 - Mike Hussey not selected due to looking towards the 2015 World Cup but Brad Haddin, who is 35 is. CASE 2 - Mitchell Starc is rested due to being in the 'danger' period of getting injured even though he is in form and feels fit and keen to go and had played a total of 3? tests. Michael...

I think Ricky's done a good job of that himself over the past 3 years

Here is Australian Crickets big problem - lets stick with the regulars even though they are failing. Now we have ponting, haddin, johnson all having to be replaced asap, and a few injuries to make a bad situation. Someone make a few tough calls FFS! Rather see Copeland or Maddinson fail than...

Without being a keen analyst of politics or reading up on the exact policies, I thought someone more learned on the subject can explain these 2 decisions that seem to contradict eachother. 1) JULIA INTRODUCES A CARBON TAX - to try and encourage more sustainable energy to help the environment...

What Peter wrote upset so many Australians because it was very (maybe too) close to the truth. He never wrote for the masses, looking for pats on the back - he wrote what he believed and I appreciated it. There is nothing worse - nothing - than picking up the paper and hearing how Ponting has...

With him wanting to come home to be with his father and Essendon offering a paltry pick 19 we can try and trump them? If the Beams whispers are true (or even not but he would go home) we could offer that and/or a second player (Goldsack or Maccaffer) and/or a pick upgrade for the Gold Coast...

Having heard variations of how this incident occurred, could someone please give a rundown of what actually happened? Now that McGuane and Connors are supposedly on the way out - the rumours have sparked up (and been exaggerated i think). Can the record be set straight?

Re: Dane Beams As stated I was told this by an exAFL captain not long back - he openly stated it is spot on (not me). Believe what you want - but I heard and posted before the season end and low and behold he wants out to brisbane or will be traded out of Melbourne. Pretty big coincidence for...

Re: Dane Beams Old news as I already posted (but apparently spot on to some ex AFL stars)

Nah - i think the wrong persons daughter may be more accurate!

Surprisingly, for all the air time it gets, not that close

One you don't play with for fun. And Source was a recently retired AFL captain of many years

She found someone else. It will never happen. Move on. My condolences.

If its really wet I think Goldy will definately be a late inclusion - Reid maybe. Personally I would put him in for Didak (in the wet) but thats another story

There is some truth in this - it has nothing to do with him getting dropped. He may be in a little bit of trouble in Melbourne town with a very influential group.

WOW - no need for even an 'average' tall forward? Keep kicking it to eddie, clown. Or waite, who always injured lately Or kruezer who would be top 4 ruckmen in league - yeah, stick him forward Or setanta Or stick hendo forward after being your best backman. Is clark better than any...

How, in a professional sport, can the first half of a game be umpired completely differently to the second half? And this is OK? How can a regular season game be umpired differently to a finals game? How can you look intently for and pay 6-8 soft ruck free kicks a match, then ignore blatant...

Yay - got 8 with a margin of 11. Give me that camera HS!

Collingwood also tested Steve Johnson and said no. Also Collingwood tried had Joe Misiti signed but failed to lodge the paperwork on time - which was lucky as he only played one or two more seasons as he was too slow

Haha - no one questions the process once the test is taken - Why do you think they PUBLICLY state they are target testing? Why not just catch the players then release to the media?

Because Mr Demetriou's salary is based about increasing crowd numbers (hence the uneven draw). Quite sad really:(

Our rucks are an ex swan and ex lion (and ex kangaroo for 3rd). We cant develop anything that remotely looks like a ruck. With 'the greatest facilities' and so on we surely need to review this area as we currently rely on trading for established players

After seeing the footage is was silly but they question for me - Was the force Rioli used greater than Judd last year when he split Pav open?

Nice response although I think you have confused a couple of things in my post, such as the threshold limits I was talking about were in horse racing (prob not related but it was my example). One point to raise from your research - AFL tests 1,000 players per year. If you take into account...

True that as it would be a sacrificial lamb to 'prove' the drug testing works. Just like IOC - if they caught everyone at the Olympics then some sports wouldn't even have a bronze medallist left!

Lets talk some sense because this thread has become very juvenile. * Sports use performance enhancing drugs - even shooting, fencing. They enhance performance so some athletes want to gain an edge either to make it to the elite level or be the best. Its life. * AFL is an extremely vigorous...
