I have pretty much the exact opposite view on players taking illicit drugs. Performance enhancing I completely agree.
I feel like you could maybe make a vague argument for an OH&S breach with an AFL player taking drugs. Perhaps they could have a heart attack potentially or something along those...
I highly doubt Melbourne are the only club involved in this.
We had a guy on our list that missed plenty of games for mysterious reasons 2 years in a row before he was asked to look for a trade. Not much was made of it in the media which seemed weird at the time.
To be fair the team he picked was very different. It looked set up for fast paced play. Just didn't eventuate at all.
I kind of get the vibe Bevo doesn't really care about what position in the finals we're in as long as we make it.
He's a very experimental coach. Always trying to outsmart the...
You have to question if Maynards non suspension has affected the group. Perhaps the players feel like the are greater than the laws of the game at the moment and feel as if everything will be handed to them on a silver platter.
I'm admittedly a massive West fan. Would love to see him getting some midfield minutes. Nearly every game he plays his attack on the contest gets us out of a bad situation and into a good one. Just wins so many 50/50 or worse situations.
I feel like we're always stagnant moving the ball out of defence later in games. Not enough movement from the midfield group and half forwards to create easy short options.
We'll often go short to half back then have nothing on offer at all and have to dump a kick long or risk a turnover trying...
If a new coach came in I think we'd line up with Naughton and Jones as KPD'S, English and Darcy as Ruck/Forwards and Jamarra as the KPF.
That leaves more positions for powerful runners on the field and doesn't leave us short for marking power.
Daniel had an immediate impact because he is clean with the ball and has experience at the level. He could have replaced 6 or so players in the initial 22 and had a bigger impact.
