    Re: GWS stuffed already in 2018?

    I hadn't read that article before. I don't know that the smart arse quotes from Marsh are all that helpful.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    As much as I dislike GWS, nothing would please me more than to see them make the GF in 2019 (and lose of course) while Essendon finish a lowly 15th with an injury hit season in 2019. That will change the ‘great’ value of the Shiel trade.

    I dunno about making a grand final, maybe GWS could finish 3rd? My hatred of Essendon doesn't extend to hoping GWS do well just to show them up!

    Shane Mumford is stuffing himself with something....
    They wear a ghastly orange and sing an ridiculous song. So yes, stuffed already. Pass me my Walkley award please.

    I hear AFL already ‘leaking’ a possible two week sanction for Shane Mumford.

    Hard to see the difference between his and Jake Carlisle’s indiscretions.

    St Kilda player cops a year, whilst it looks like they’re eyeing off two weeks for Mumford... To me that clearly demonstrates that the AFL favour the big clubs and the project clubs.

    The Norfs, Aints and Dogs are definitely just billed as losers and simply meant to make up the numbers.

    What ban did Carlisle actually get? The WADA ban overtook the ban for using cocaine didn't it?
    He would have received a strike as well I think

    A 2 week suspension, $50,000 fine (removal of the $50,000 marketing component of his new contract), and a voluntary strike. Along with the usual social bullshit the AFEL rolls out like they actually give a crap.

    It's just too soft on players, between that and self reporting they can work around things easily enough

    If it's outside of the playing period is it really any of our business? Aside from setting an example for younger people what does it matter? He's not exactly on his own here either, he's just the one that's had footage come out most recently.

    It was done in season so yes it needs to be the AFL's business. Anything that gives the players the impression it's not a serious issue is a complete failure.

    This forgets that the testing regime and the associated measures are ENTIRELY dependent on the support of the players and they can walk away from it at any time.

    Why would they walk away, they have been able to get away with a lot more than they should?

    Because they don't have to be tested for recreational drugs. Turn the question onits head and ask yourself why would they keep doing something they don't have to if they are just going to be punished for it? That makes no sense at all.

    What he said.

    The current policy only exists because the players agreed to it.

    They are under ZERO obligation to be tested out if competition for recreational drugs under any other code.
