That really seems like another planet, dat crowd.

Crowd numbers like that feel like a life time ago, would be great to see finals and big attendances in the not too distant future.

 

[PatientMental]

It looks terrible if you don't have it

Also have a Port Power tshirt.

Was Popeye's (The cartoon character not the formidable armada of water conveyances on the River Torrens) poo green?

Spinach probably would make your poo green. I haven't eaten any spinach and yet my poo is green.

I think its the almonds.

I just got my feedback from Holden re their sponsorship of Collingwood which included:-

At Holden we are pleased to acknowledge constructive comments, and letters such as yours are a great help in our planning and development. Thank you for your feedback regarding Holden's decision to sponsor the AFL. Please be assured that your feedback has been passed on to the appropriate area within Holden.

I found it very interesting that they are sponsoring the AFL and already distancing themselves from Collingwood.

Shows how pathetic some of our fans are. There's plenty of them but only when we're winning.

Theory on the Ess board that they'd been taking a supplement containing DMAA, which became banned mid last year.

It has been linked to side-effects including high blood pressure, headaches, vomiting, stroke and death.

The TGA's Dr John Skerritt says supplements are generally combined into so-called sports food for body builders to bulk themselves up, or to increase their muscle mass.

Jeez.

That really seems like another planet, dat crowd.

I still remember the amazement of the two 30-something year old St. Kilda brothers and their dad sitting immediately to my left.

Pre-game when the atmosphere was electric, and the crowd behind the goals closest to the original scoreboard were going apeshit with a Power chant accompanied by clapping with those blow-up 'Thundasticks'(?) which visually looked like a wall of flashing teal.

"No wonder they always ****ing win, look at the setup they have here".

Lol'd.

If only all that 01-07 money went into our pockets.

 

[tribey]

... Almost makes me appreciate Falloon.

Almost.

We're right as long as tofu and cruskits isn't a banned substance.

It would be nice to see a transparent set of accounts to see where it actually did go.
No doubt Sturt, South and Westies would have some questions as well.

DMAA is no big deal. Has been on sale for many years in looooots of supplements. In fact, I have plenty of supps that have DMAA in them. They are still selling DMAA products, it's just they will not be able to replenish their stock any more. So it's not actually illegal to take DMAA given retailers are still allowed to sell their remaining stock of DMAA supps.

Storm in a teacup, and I don't think it's that great anyway.

It's now looking like its the worse one.

Do you inject anything that you use?

There's more to this than handing a bottle of Jack3d around the locker room.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

So is there any way we and Angus will be affected by this?

 

[Hodges 153!]

I guess he may be, if what they took is found to be banned, and one of their indemnity forms turns up with his signature on it?

 

[Schulzenfest]

Good one Bernie, you've just given the Advertiser a new headline and article for tomorrow.

Josh Jenkins will coincidentally not be mentioned in the article.

 

[It Just Is]

So what happens if they're found guilty of something like this?

This is the only case of performance-enhancing drugs I can remember. He copped 2 years and that was just one player, supposedly accidently, not a club deliberately.

Casserly, 23, was today handed the two-year suspension – the maximum penalty recommended by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority – after testing positive to restricted substance pseudoephedrine

At the WAFL tribunal hearing last week, Swans officials argued that Casserly had taken two Sudafed tablets during the grand final to treat a bout of hay fever.

Pseudoephedrine was not on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of banned substances between 2004 and 2010, although levels of the drug were monitored and recorded during this period.
