2019 non-freo nonchalance (aka discussion)

[stax on the mull]

Harry Conway 4 wicket maiden over to finish off the Qld tail. I do like a quickie who gives a bit of yap!

Good on him, pretty amazing effort, but I always think any bowler who gives a batter (let alone two) a send-off like he did, is a massive dick. I hope Stanlake gets him for a first ball duck, right through him knocking middle stump flying next time he faces him. Keep your celebrations with your teammates you muppet.

I'll just leave this here.

The AFL free kick ladder: All the for and against since 2012

Which clubs receive the most frees and who gives the most away?

www.sen.com.au

If I’ve got the numbers right, that’s about 2.5 kicks in WCs favor per game over those 8 years (2012-2019). That a hella ton.

I would like to see the breakdown by each year. In 2019 they were just under us in free kicks paid which makes the average even higher per game during certain years.

And poor GWS. Their fans really have some sh** to be ticked about.

You can tell by the haircut he was one of those kids at school who excelled at sport at the expense of his education

I assume you are referring to?... Liam Ryan banned from Crown Burswood for unacceptable behaviour.

Can’t read the article but get the impression this was a long time ago

Is it ever too late for a mercy dash?

Yep looks like a couple of years ago around the same time all trees had to jump out of his way. Got to admire how WC keeps this out of the media for so long!!

Their supporters are jumping up and down about it yet forget all the s**t that keeps getting dragged up about Hogan

As they should be, it’s a rubbish story that serves no purpose.

 

[FreoGirl]

I totally agree with you and don’t understand why they’ve brought up something from the past - it’s click bait. They’ll still bring up that pic of Hogan in a Santa suit for the opposition to gleefully kick him in the guts. Neither is right.

Woah that's a big penalty.

I find the science of doping fascinating, part of me wishes I was old enough to have appreciated the arms race of the US v Russian doping scientists during the Cold War.

That same part of me feels a little sympathy towards Russia for not being sophisticated enough or not having enough money to hide their doping as well as the Americans and Chinese these days. They're like little kids clumsily trying to keep up with the big boys.

 

[E Shed]

They should just let everyone take anything. You'd have guys jabbing up 30 seconds before a race and then heads exploding like aliens if they misjudged the dose. Put in on Foxtel. Kind of like the original rebel world series Cricket.

I'm assuming estibador's account is being controlled by a Russian bot by now? Looking forward to 'him' only posting pro-Trump propaganda from now onwards.

Is doping like a global conspiracy? You always hear people say 'Oh everyone is doping'. Is that true? I've always wondered.

Woke!

 

[estibador]

Who knows, but I tend to err on the side of cynicism. Especially with countries who see sport as a front in ideological warfare.

You hear stuff like this all the time:

OLYMPICS; Anti-Doping Official Says U.S. Covered Up (Published 2003)

World Anti-Doping Agency chairman Dick Pound says United States Olympic Committee covered up drug use by athletes, allowing athletes like Carl Lewis to compete after testing positive for banned substances (M)

www.nytimes.com

Newly disclosed documents prove long-held suspicions that the United States Olympic Committee covered up drug use by athletes, Dick Pound, chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said yesterday.

Exum said there were more than 100 positive drug tests for American athletes from 1998-2000, including 18 who tested positive at the Olympic Trials but competed in the Games.

Former IAAF anti-doping head Gabriel Dollé under criminal investigation

Dr Gabriel Dollé, the former IAAF anti-doping head, has been placed under criminal investigation, suspected of taking €200,000 in bribes

www.theguardian.com

Dr Gabriel Dollé, the former director of the IAAF’s medical and anti-doping department, has been placed under criminal investigation, suspected of taking about €200,000 (£140,000) in bribes in an alleged cover-up of positive Russian doping tests.

Forget the US v Russia (USSR ), when it came to doping in sport, East Germany (GDR) led by the length of the straight.

Icarus is a pretty good documentary on the whole issue, even if the director overinflates his own role in the whole thing

True but Bryan is a lot more likeable than that other Fogel guy though.
