Name me other jobs that get paid on average 300k per year?
ADF members certainly don't!

Nor do people who work in the resource sector but they still get hit with regular drug tests.

Collingwood fans just because your club was named and not the other two clubs doesn't take away from the fact 11 players on your list are drug users.... Not sure if your all in damage control or what.
 
Could be worse though Collingwood fans, you could be Essendon fans. I mean that would be truly farked.

+ countless other clubs near us + two clubs well ahead. Not sure what your point is.... Id say 80% of the people I socialise with take drugs have taken drugs and still do it, for fun, now and again. Heck some are addicted. Its an issue for everyone. 25% of our list, vfl players included. In the off season, got too much money to count.. young, pull your head our our ass.

"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.

I don't like clickbait. So yes. I'm going to call it out when I see it. What precisely would be your issue with that?

Serious problem that needs to have a zero tolerance, wouldn't be too keen if one of those 80 % you know is driving a primemover whilst I'm driving in the opposite direction, would rather they didn't take drugs! wouldn't you?

I have no problem at all. If you're so naive as to think modern news organisations have any other imperative than to return dividends to their shareholders then that's no skin off my nose.

But you keep "calling it out" by all means. Just don't get too upset when I "call out" how it's nothing more than ignorant pissing into the wind

No. He is making a fairly accurate, albeit quite cynical, observation that the club named was the club that would sell more papers/ get more clicks, not the worst club by social standards. More insightful than whinge for mine.

You think it's insightful to not realise that news corp will do whatever they can do maximise their revenue?

Ok then..

Or he's (Robbo) just feeling sorry for the club in the news most recently...

Why, are you a communist?

No I prefer headlines to be an accurate representation of the facts. Old fashioned I know but it's just what I prefer. You might be fine with "And you won't believe what happens next", but I think it just drives people away.

If that makes me a communist, then so be it comrade.

I agree with that statement and I also happen to think that it is quite insightful and a little cynical to suggest that the reason they named Collingwood would be to sell papers, which is what he was alluding to before you had a crack at him.

If Robbo knew who the other two clubs were I'm sure he would have announced it as it would have sold more papers! If his leak was from collingwood he wouldn't know if his leak was from the afl he would, but we don't know the answer to that!
