Re: Melbourne Watch 2023/24
So with all of this coming out does it mean the strike system no longer exists?
Or has it not existed for a long time and I'm just way behind on my afl news?

I think the league (and the broader society) need to have a total rethink about all of this, but I'm just not sure as a society we're mature enough.
Yes young guys are going to explore their boundaries aren't they.
I don't know what the right way is, i think this policy is close to the mark just needs some tweaks.
Joel Smith wouldn't agree. He seems to be being made a scape goat i doubt he's trafficking in the sense we all understand that term to mean.
It' s easy to straw man it and say why have laws? As we all know though things are never black and white so we need to walk the spectrum until we find a niche.

It exists in theory, like the holy spirit.

Some laws are brought in for the wrong reasons and don't achieve their stated aim. No one's calling for all law to be ignored but the drug laws have always been a massive failure whose only achievements have been to line the pockets of those criminal types mentioned earlier. We will look back on them in time the same way we look back on prohibition.

No, because they are kept between Doctor and Player/Patient and no one knows about it.

Does a self-report count as a strike?
Oops, already answered above.

Don't test positive during competition - that's outside of the AFL's control and once that happens you are screwed. Joel Smith is screwed.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

That is stupid when you've got a sanctioned cover up system at your finger tips.

It's fantastic to see everybody so invested in preserving the doctor/patient confidentiality creed once again - nice change from a couple of years ago. But yay, Liam Jones is now a champion Bulldog key defender and not a selfish granny killer anymore lol
