If this were West Coast circa 2008 then the AFL would be stripping draft picks

"Two other clubs with higher readings than Collingwood and several clubs in the vicinity of Magpies’ results."

But the headline is all about Collingwood. Dat balanced media. All about the clicks. That sentence makes it clear it's a league wide issue but all the hyperbolic terms; "alarming", "bombshell", "scandal" are being thrown around about Collingwood. Stupid.

So true. There are few Victorian based clubs that sell papers like Collingwood.

I think you will find Ed and Perty are the source.

Mark Robinson sling tish at clubs other than Essendon about drug usage and using gutter journalism as click bait?
I'm shocked to be sitting here.

I agree, perhaps bigfooty should take a lead and change the thread title to reflect this.

 

[underthestars]

so who are the other two clubs and why haven' they been named - if they exist?

There but for the grace of God goes your club

Caro said there was a war coming between AFL and Pies. Do they really think they can just bury the fact 2 clubs are even worse than us, and most in a similar position, and dump all this s**t on us without anyone noticing?

It will work for a couple of days, I guess.

lol ANZAC Day match.

Might even things up a bit...

 

[DERO]

Might even things up a bit...

It won't because it is ok to take illegal substances as long as you don't get caught three times.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

11 players to be suspended and top up players to be included on their list?

It doesn't matter unless their coke was spiked wit clenbuterol.

True actually, stupid rule but true

 

[frizzle]

so who are the other two clubs and why haven' they been named - if they exist?

Because Collingwood players testing positive is a better headline.
All other clubs remain anonymous in the media except the Pies. Even though we have only the 3rd highest positive tests.

THANKYOU, We sell papers! Love to know who the other two teams are.

I'd wait til the two clubs with higher readings is 'leaked' if I was you!

 

[JackFlash]

How will Ed get them out of this one?

Robbo mentioned that he can name Collingwood which tells me that they were ok with Robbo outing them and ties in with Collingwood requesting the illicit drugs policy be tightened up.
