Luckily the expert in making sure mobile phones get lost, good and proper, is right there in Sydney. As a bonus he can tell him where all the best meetings are.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Conveniently they can consult within the next two weeks at ANZ.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

There you go. Things are looking up already.
Collingwood will be happy they shafted Neil Balme for Gubby Allen now that Allen is looking at a two year ban. He must have known about this when he took the job?

It's the prospect of the club hiding it that makes it so bad. I've got no issue with young folks letting it rip if doing so doesn't ruin careers and clubs. But that's the issue with professional sport, you can't have it all. As an aside, if I avoided a drug test deliberately I'd lose my job without a single strike, and I am office bound.
As a second aside.....if you all can afford me the luxury......if I have a hint of any illicit substance in my system (as a white collar worker) I'll get the sack no questions asked.

Me too. Avoid a drug test and you're done. No appeal, no fond farewell.

Any tribunal gets a directive to adhere to the 'AFEL comfortable satisfaction threshold'. This test exonerated doped players which WADA then had suspended. Whitfield is fine provided they make up a bullshit story that allows the AFEL to not be 'comfortably satisfied' with the vague and baseless rumours...

WADA haven't exactly covered themselves in glory with their unseemly haste to railroad the Essendon players. Let's wait until the appeal is finished before we celebrate anything.
Anyway Whitfield has 'fessed up, hasn't he? I don't think there will be a hearing to assess guilt, just to sort the penalty out.
