I can't quite put my finger on the reason, but I'm starting to get the feeling that Willy Rioli isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Well his mame isn't Willie Ryobi

 

[Plugger35]

It should be Silly Rioli.

 

[kernelT]

He fits in well at the eagles though…

Yep, just get the AFL on the same page as WADA and we win.

I mean, it shits me that the margin is still 12 points when it should be 7, I mean, how hard is it to change a friggen result 12 years later as if you care about integrity of score in a supposed elite national competition?

Almost as much care as making sure a ground has lights or a proper goddamn siren beforehand like you have a slue what you're actually doing...

However, they were in line with WADA, it was banned after the GF was played, however given every man and his dog knew beforehand it was going to be banned and the reasons why months in advance since these things don't get decided on a whim, it's yet another instance of the commission not giving one iota of s**t about the actual health of the game.

You have a core club cheat money for decades.
You had a core club cheat medically for years.
You had a money club with a party drug culture that actively lead to the death of a player.
You actually had a chance to get in front of something, actually show that you are a leader and you want your sport to have integrity by saying "we know this procedure is going to be deemed as performance enhancing x months from now. As of this point, do not use this procedure." But no, you wait until the literal day because then you're in hiatus and no one gives a damn, just like not giving a damn about scoring records, if people beat their missus, take drugs unless you're filmed doing it or in public causing a nuisance, or...

The Commission is weak as piss.

Uh.... what???

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

Thought it was just me

 

[StCicatriz]

hahah POTY contender

 

[austinnn]

Uh.... what???

who the hell knows

 

[Mat Mann]

Lycett copped a four week ban. Thoughts?

I thought three but good to see the AFL making an example.

it's fine if it's consistent, probably fair considering the Melbourne player last year who got 4 weeks, but then they let others off for similar and it all goes to hell

Consistency has always been the problem with the MRP. We shall see.

 

[CursingFijian]

I dislike Mitch Cleary more and more when he provides his opinions. His coach pressure ladder as follows:


18. Damien Hardwick (ranked 18th in March)
17. John Longmire (15th)
16. Justin Longmuir (16th)
15. Matthew Nicks (11th)
14. Ben Rutten (8th)
13. Simon Goodwin (1st)
12. Chris Fagan (13th)
11. Ken Hinkley (12th)
10. Luke Beveridge (4th)
9. Chris Scott (6th)
8. Adam Simpson (9th)
7. Alastair Clarkson (14th)
6. David Noble (17th)
5. Stuart Dew (7th)
4. Brett Ratten (10th)
3. Leon Cameron (2nd)
2. David Teague (5th)
1. Nathan Buckley (3rd)

Bit stupid to put this out now. Pre season he said we should finish top four and Carlton in finals. Both were outlandish predictions and now he has assigned both coaches very high rankings on his contrived ladder.
How are longmuir Nicks and Rutten not ranked lower? To name a few. Utter tripe.

Saw this on Reddit. Had a laugh.

Has a chuckle at the nmfc coach pic too

So let me get this straight.

Man likes his good stuff.
Man also likes his urine and tampering with protocols that mean 4+ year bans.
Man breaches several times through good stuff.
Man goes home for reasons.
Man tries leaving home and gets busted trying to smuggle good stuff.
Man states how humiliated, contrite, sad, and totally wouldn't do it again as totally out of character.
Man knows above instances are spread across 3 years in professional sport.
Man gets $500 fine and good behaviour bond.
Man has the good stuff.
Good stuff is good.
Only, man didn't get to Tiwi as s**t tape.
Tape is not good, tape needs to be sticky.
Not sticky tape is bad.

Gee how weak.

Yep. Makes Ahmed Saad’s punishment seem just a tad heavy handed now...

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Can we just take a moment to recognise Bolton was beaten for mark of the week by Brody Mihocek. Good mark don’t get me wrong but Jesus Christ they love their own bathwater.

enough of this bullshit voting by fans. * the fans.

thankfully Bolton can still win moty as the commission thingy that decides it all get to add five more marks that didn’t win motw but still that’s ******* ludicrous.

 

[kernelT]

It's great that Dimma is standing by his players, easier to do after 3 flags I guess, but what are the chances Bolton and Rioli had a big hand inciting or instigating the brawl?

I mean footballers… they don't get the benefit of the doubt going on form.

Would love to see the security vision.

Media seems pretty kind to them so far… not sure if Carlisle & Long would get the same treatment.

If Bolton and Rioli were Saints players they'd have already been crucified in the media

I guess they were smart enough to avoid it on game day.

Former Saint slapped with two-year ban for doping violation

Not sure? I’m pretty sure….they wouldn’t.

 

[Parkysp]

I consider myself extremely lucky to have two sons. The youngest is 20. I have a great relationship with both of them. If I did that to them I'd expect them not to talk to me for a very long time. I would not blame them...

 

[Mr Taswegian]

St Kilda are one of four teams that have approached the Tasmania government to play games here next season,will be interesting to see if Hawks and North lose their Tassie deals.
