Confirmation that players have been suspended - while maintaining their privacy - for failing enough drug tests.

Do they think these things through?

Now any player listed with General Soreness (or misses a week or two for other reasons) automatically comes under suspicion for being a drug user or suffering depression.

Why they insist on playing bulls**t games with this isuue is beyond me. Either publicly list them when a test is failed or leave it alone. Why choose a path that half protects a player who has been given a strike, yet at the same time throws a cloud over all other players who missed time during the season to General Soreness...

So does this finally f@#kin mean that we can confirm the Buddy Franklin rumour?

he missed so many games its not funny and the rumours were bloody everywhere.

(denied of course by player, club and a disclaimer that its only innuendo not to be taken as fact or a slight on his character...just that rumours did exist).

WTF, so it's not three strikes and your toast, it's some number and you take an enforced break, where's the scale of penalties listed etc ?? this is really weird, and surely worth a bit of press attention.

Mmmm,amazing how many times I read Saturday's paper before a WAFL Match to see WEST COAST and FREMANTLE Listed players in the OUT List with General Soreness.GENERAL BULLSHIT in all reality and Worse still,it sometimes happened an hour or so before they were supposed to play for their WAFL Club.

Some players should take up ten pin bowling...the amount of strikes theyve received, theyd have a perfect game by now ;)

said today from a few people that it's complete BS but in saying that was at a dinner late last year with my partners family and her uncle who is a big Richmond supporter told me that Dustin wont be at Richmond in 2014.... he didn't know why but that's what he did say..... so the dots might all join up later this year who knows

So I expect to hear Caro come out and demand the resignation of Dimma and his coaching panel no matter the outcome of the matter...
