Non-Lions Doping Thread?

 

[Chasing the Dream]

What a game!!

Why to WA fans have to boo everything, just had an amazing win, so they boo the umpires..

 

[Karnezis_13]

Amazing, amazing game. Those last seconds on the goal line had my heart in my mouth, and Ballantyne, and Hannath!! 3/3 tips this round for me though which is nice

Seems Ben Cousins is still well & truly on the path to self destruction.

It's funny that Essendon won't keep a copy of a letter (incorrectly) saying some drugs aren't banned by ASADA, but they did keep an invoice for a banned drug.

Ross Lyon seems to think that Kepler Bradley may have done an ACL during last night's game. Hope for his sake, it's nothing as serious as that, but if the coach comes out and says 'Yeah, we think it might be an ACL' it's usually not good news. Don't think I've seen this many ACL injuries, 5 rounds into a season, before. Worthy of investigation, me thinks.

They should be thanking them after Knight's goal bounced of the umpire and not paid. No review when it mattered. Gifted Freo the game.

Was a bad blue, but didn't cost them the game. They held it in the forwardline and got one a minute and a half later.

Also I don't think a review would have overturned the decision. The ball never crossed the line so, as I understand it, it could not be a goal even though the ump was what prevented the ball crossing the line.

To me it also looked like it was going to hit the post, it hit the umpire square in the middle of his legs which was about 6 inches from the post.

 

[whizkizz]

Would the ball not have hit the post anyway had the umpire not been standing there?

You can't blame a whole game on one incident. Well.. actually, apparently you can!

Suns have signed Martin on a 5 year deal. Bit odd I reckon. Although seeing as it only keeps him around until the end of 2017, it's technically four years as I imagine he already had a contract for this year.

For a player yet to show anything at all though, that's a very significant deal. Obviously he's highly rated but many highly rated players have failed spectacularly before.

I just saw that, and he must be really burning up on the training track. From the reserves games, he didn't stick out as a special player.

Healthy turn out at Manuka today. Not.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Go Giants! Smash em!

Geez, I normally care little about attendance figures for non-Lions games, but you're right, that crowd is shithouse. AFL will struggle to believably inflate the figure.

 

[Haso]

Not much better than a local footy crowd.

 

[Nick Lions]

Geez sometimes I wish Dixon was a Lion.

Geez sometimes I wish Dixon was a Lion.

I think we all do. :/

 

[Hollow Knight]

Suns really should have used a blue/gold/white colour scheme for their main strip.

Was such a stupid choice for them to go with predominantly red.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Did Setanta just kiss Coniglio on the forehead?

Dunno, looked to cross to me, hitting the top of his right leg and back in and down to right on the line. Not gonna argue though, I don't care that much, twas only Richmond.
