I blame the N.Z meat.

 

[GreyCrow]

Its understandable from a corruption point of view but it fails the reality test that until the AFL itself divests itself of Betting Companies then they are complicit in that corruption

Vicious circle

 

[Beerfish]

Yep, they are treated differently - but as I said, Collingwood handled it very differently from how the Essendon regime at the time did.

Yep. Positive tests will pretty much force that.

Positive tests from players who knew they were guilty.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Collingwood have had more cases, and more players actually suspended than any club.

I do wonder if Eddie would have handled Easendons situation differently.

Not sure about those numbers just saying

 

[tandino]

Did they ever catch those Hong Kongers betting on A-League matches?

 

[The Warlord]

Yep. Positive tests will pretty much force that.

Yep, but they have also managed to avoid any serious questions about why they keep having so many positive tests.

 

[The Warlord]

True, Essendon had 34 players suspended.

But Collingwood have had multiple incidents and seem to be avoiding genuine scrutiny.

Needs more B4Life posts denying anything untoward happened. That will shut us up

 

[citizen-erased]

yet again, we contribute to the fabric of the comp.
Our little escapade has ensured all players are clean of all drugs.

It’s like they all signed on the dotted line saying they took stuff oh and they also forgot about the fact that they were told that they weren’t allowed to tell the club Dr and stuff and they were innocent mate

 

[Shane Heard]

The real question we have to adresss here folks is the true meaning of the word integrity and how we mere minion supporters can possibly maintain a slither of faith in a government group who are responsible for the disgraceful slander of a 150 year old iconic Australian sporting football club.

I hope you join me in support of my complete and utter condemnation of it all.

Power to the people.

[tandino]

Personally I blame the Russians.

 

[Thrawn]

Must admit this annoys the hell out of me not one Essendon player tested postive and yet those Collingwood players who did test postive didn't cop the same treatment like the Essendon players did.

The whole drug saga was a big joke.

Collingwood wasn't the team with a systemic team-wide doping program.

They’re playing some serious catch up. Positive drug tests, coll 3, Ess 0.

“blackest day in Australian sport’’ and the Essendon and Cronulla drugs scandals, found that illicit and performance enhancing drugs were often supplied to athletes by Bomber Thompson

Fixed

Drug doping was a wide league problem at the time opposistion clubs should be kissing Essendons boots for taking one for the comp.

So you quote positive drug tests (hint: you don't need a positive drug test to be found guilty of taking drugs) as a way of somehow absolving yourself, then you practically say that you were doped up to your eyeballs and teams should be thanking you for taking a bullet for them?

Every club was on similar type of program to what Essendon were doing only difference is the rest of the clubs stopped what they were doing once ASADA/Police caught wind with what was going so don’t prentend like the rest of the comp was clean

Why would all the other clubs stop what they were doing if it was all above board?

Or are you saying that Essendon were cheating and all the other clubs were also cheating?

Possibly I mean how do we know when every other club didn’t get a through investigation like Essendon did?
