Re: Injury list 2024

Had a giggle in the car just before when they were talking about this. Can’t remember who it was that said “well, there is this thing of doctor / patient confidentiality, that’s why they don’t inform on their medical condition / information” etc Yet… they invent an ‘injury’ and inform everyone that...

Re: The Club is a Toilet

WADA/SIA can test athletes who are on the sick list ... but unless the player has been named in the team and it is after 11.59pm the night before a competition in which an athlete is scheduled to compete ... they cannot test for cocaine or other recreational drugs... only performance enhancing drugs...

Re: The Club is a Toilet

It has been moving towards the outcome, rather than the action, determining the penalty for a few years now. Cunningham was knocked out, stretchered off and immediately subbed out. So Tribunal and big penalty. On the same weekend, Toby Greene raised his leg to fend off an opponent while he marked. I...

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

This has been going on for donkeys... Remember the AFL hid a very high profile Suns recruit from Adelaide over doping when the supplements saga was going on ... and the AFL doctor admitted as much in an international sports medicine conference. The high profile recruit never played again. Though if ...

Re: The Club is a Toilet

4 weeks was too heavy. But that's what the AFL asked,

2-3 would have been about right.

What's the point of pleading guilty if you don't get a sentence reduction?

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

The same tranche of pundits that spewed out ad infinitum about Maynard “what else could he do?” have turned into hanging judges on Peter Wright. If you look at both incidents in normal motion , if you say Maynard had no other choice and had to brace you also must conclude that Wright had 1/100 the ...

He will be the test case for the new rule... as well as a warning to everyone else.

Even though it was a split second decision to protect himself rather than make an unrealistic attempt to mark.

And 2MP will go straight to the Trib.

He will go under the new Maynard rule. He may have got off last year.

3 weeks minimum.

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

We simply can’t afford losing key players in our arcs. We have quite a number that can be replaced in the middle, but key players up forward and back are our Achilles heel. And Wright will likely be gone for a spell. :( R3 and we will be without Ridley, Reid, Wright for extended periods. Yep, the s...

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

I thought we were okay for 90% of the game and at least had a dip. It's the 10% of the game when we're terrible that really lets us down, with all those old problems we've all been complaining about for years and years rearing their ugly heads again - fumbling, kicking straight to the opposition, f...

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

You know you are in for a drubbing when Stringer plays about 25 minutes of football and tries to do a couple of hail mary attempts. I don't care he got 3 goals, he coasted most of the night, had 6 clangers from 14 touches... and got most of his goals in junk time. Sadly, some players were worse. Kic...

Weird focus on possible trades

Just what the f*** is going on with the AFL media? There is a new and massive focus on possible trades for 2024, including which clubs "are chasing" whichever players and what players "are seeking" trades for 2024. etc etc Case in point: https://tinyurl.com/ujxxwmwn And it isn't ...

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee

Essendon is not appealing/challenging Redman's 1 match ban for striking. But Hawthorn is challenging Sicily's ban for kicking. WTF? And just to put the cherry on top - Reid has a hamstring tear. Severity to be determined. I guess this means that Jones is likely to stay in the team.... with Langford ...
