Couldn't disagree with you more. You're arguing semantics. The real reason it's done is to avoid being tested otherwise it wouldn't happen. The AFL are only concerned about their image. If it's designed to help players with their drug problem, then it isn't working, as the number of players have...
And if they didn't do pre testing they wouldn't know. They would play, maybe be tested and found out. Just a way of avoiding doing a drug test. That seems to be the only reason for it, otherwise it wouldn't be covered up calling, it an injury preventing play.
They are using it to avoid a drug test. It's a bit of a loophole at the moment, just like using a masking agent once was. Just about guaranteed that WADA will close it. Pre testing to avoid a drug test will be prohibited. The East Germans used similar methods to hide the drug use of their...
Try using that argument to a policeman when you get arrested. Of course it is against the law to use, possess, cultivate or traffic a drug of dependence, including marijuana, heroin, amphetamines, cocaine, LSD and ecstasy. Look up the Commonwealth laws.
As far as the argument, "what people do...
Isn't whole point of what the AFL are sanctioning, is to dodge drug tests?
While most people suspect cocaine, there are a lot of other drugs prohibited on game day, cannabis is one and lots of things found in cough mixtures. You can see random testing coming in and conducted by WADA, not the...
Looks like there are certain advantages to a big schnoz. It's not shoe size girls!
I just can't help but think of Jimmy Durante.

It's true Mofra and it explains a lot!
2014.
He might like a bit of a rest once he finishes coaching. He would get $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ from the media and not have to put in the long hours anymore. His wife would probably like that.
I genuinely think he will stay to give Mitchell another year in charge at Box Hill. When he speaks of a moral obligation you can believe him. He apparently knocked back a very large figure to coach North because he already had a contract and wanted to fulfill his obligations to Hawthorn.
I'm...
Are you fifteen?
I'd suggest that you check your own team's ladder positions from 1947 to see how they were travelling before 1966 to get an idea on Hafey's impact.
You could only say the argument is void if you have no idea of the history of the game.
Yeah, that is a debatable point, however, in 2014 the AFL's historians decided that even though he missed the 1930 premiership due to illness, as he coached every other game that season he was credited with the win.
You need to do some research before making a statement like that. No doubt a very good coach, but he is is well down the list.

Don Scott's comment has the trademark of the Sam Newman approach to getting into the news as publicity for their podcast
Not what he said in April. Have a listen to what Williams said in the link below. He covers it somewhere between the 6 to 10 min mark...
Williams has said he was offered 3 or 4 times what he was being paid at Geelong. He was willing to stay at Geelong if they had offered half the $150K the Swans had on offer. He instantly became the highest paid player in the VFL when he moved to Sydney.
Why would that be? Carlton, Hawthorn and Collingwood all took the amnesty offered in 1994. Essendon stupidly didn't and paid the price.
Carlton's breach was in 2002 well after the amnesty was offered. It isn't new news.
This information should be of interest to everyone.

Darrel Baldock was only 179cm that didn't stop him from becoming, along with Hart the best CHF of the 60's.
The other player ignored so far (also a st Kilda player) is Stuart Lowe. By far the best pack mark I have ever seen. Would be an ideal player in this era for that ability.
Carey, Hart and...
One interesting stat to come out of this, is that with the lock down in the USA, last March was the first time in for 18 years that there hadn't been a school shooting in that month.
Who really knows how it happened. Poor old Vic Rail the horse trainer died from Hendra Virus. Hendra virus’s host is the flying fox. Apparently his horses (who all died) became infected probably by sniffing or eating vegetation contaminated with flying fox droppings. Vic then caught it from his...
