The good bloke principle, we all know afl players don’t take peds (I think there’s a paper demonstrating that it’s a scientific impossibly). Hence the only explanation is rec drugs, tainted product, mislead, naivety or any combination of those.
I can’t believe you didn’t know that already.
The commentariat run with the “naive” footballer line whenever something like this pops up.
What’s amusing is the afl players have no problem navigating the illicit drugs policy. They were all over it, found the weaknesses and exploited the self reporting provisions to their advantage. But...

A few years ago I sat next to dipper on a flight back from Sydney with a spare seat between us. He was seated first and did the look away when I sat down but it's a bit hard not to recognise dipper.
I thought he wanted to be left alone so read my paper, he kept interrupting me asking to borrow...
You could add to your list of unresolved issues the alleged stolen peptides and the alleged Medicare fraud, both of which were referred to the purana taskforce. I wonder how often purana run Medicare investigations.
Perhaps there's not enough evidence to proceed or perhaps it's part of a...
We were nowhere near closing the doors in the 90's, in the 80's that was the case where they were literally rattling tins to keep the banks at bay. The debt in the 90's was secured debt from property investments, Eddie sold those properties in a rising market and we made a profit.

"I just got tired of being called a 'black so-and-so'. I think the photo speaks for itself," he said.
"I was scared. I was scared after that. I was frightened for my life and I had death threats. I walked away from the game. I didn't want to play any more. I just feared for...
fancy doing a war dance, truly threatening to the crowd.
what he should have done was run into an open goal, kick the ball low and hard into the head of an old lady from the opposition cheer squad, follow it up with an "up yours" fist gesture while glaring at the cheer squad, like plugger did...
sport and politics have always coexisted though, from the black panther salute at the 68 games, to the cold war being played out in the gymnastics judging at the olympics, to the sporting bans on SA over apartheid, to the frendlies played between nations to build closer ties, to the...
thats the new narative
use a racial slur, if the target gets offended, their being oversensitive
use a racial slur, if someone from your own ethnicity picks you up on it, their being politically correct
call someone that used the racial slur a racist, now thats offensive.
this is close to the mark imo.
not sure if your familiar with Peter Norman, the australian athlete that wore a human rights badge on the podium at the 68 games when the American athletes did the black panther salute. on his return the aoc reprimanded him, the media and public alike vilified him...
difference is winmar did what he did on the spur of the moment but didn't speak publicly about it the afl took over championing the changes and winmar being a more reserved character withdrew from the debate, had he kept speaking up that might have been different. thats not to say he didn't cop...
was a bit broader than that but didn't last too long as the afl was pretty strong in getting the racial vilification up and started there education program, it quieted down quickly but there was a fair bit of racial abuse back then and it did continue for a bit until people in the crowd started...
Its the official abs data for the last 12mths, you can dispute it if you wish, wasn't the point of the post which you ignored. Why don't you address the hypocrisy I pointed out.
so you attack the op because they ignored male victims of domestic violence, yet your not focusing on victims rather selecting one particular type of perpetrator (4.9%, abs again).
Ultimately your problem is with women and not dv against men otherwise you'd be campaigning against men as well...
