Demon tests positive to cocaine after home and away game

The most surprising part of this is that people find it surprising that AFL footballers do illicit drugs.

Nah, we all know that. What surprises us is when one gets caught because it’s so easy to avoid. Usually means the player involved has a real issue.

How the media doesn’t get into this club for its endless issues - one after the other - and the culture it’s running with, is typical of their selective bias.

Clearly, running a weeks worth of articles on something like Pickett’s bump on somebody is more important.

Compare the outrage of a couple blokes getting a kebab.

So, ah, when does Bartlett get his apology?

Seriously though, very little clubs can do to keep players off the gear outside of business hours. However, clubs can control who they put in charge of their players during business hours and maybe should think twice about appointing a known fiend as senior coach. Just an idea.

Bingo! The AFL look bloody stupid in this. Bartlett’s case is pretty close to being before the Courts. He wanted to bring in hair testing on the players. No support from the AFL. Kate Roffey shafts Bartlett and Bartlett is gone. The AFL held a function last week for retired Club bosses. McGuire, Kennett etc held in the MCC long room. Peggy couldn’t make it cos she was interstate. But Bartlett was snubbed and not invited. The AFL sent him a letter instead. So, I see the AFL as being quite happy for dirty linen to not be aired. Again……

Ohh the news breaks 12 minutes after the trade period finished.
You get results back in 4 minutes, why did it take 6 weeks to get the results?
Were the samples sent to Wuhan??

Where's Gazza Lyon??
The silence is defending.
The news accidentally hit the news desk at Sen after little Gazza finished his shift.

Does it have to be a third breach before the AFL goes public?

The AFL need to establish if richmond was involved before handing down any suspension

East Coast Eagles.

Expect the media to go hard at them.

So much smoke. Not on fire but it feels like it's about to become a full-blown bushfire.

Correct BB there are plenty of nose beer fans playing in the AFL, and the NRL.

 

[mrposhman]

What I don't get is that this was supposedly Round 23, he played 2 finals after this and I heard on the radio earlier that is B sample hasn't been tested yet!! Seriously? The alleged breach was on August 20th, thats almost 2 months ago!! What sort of tinpot organisation is the AFL????

Bit of bad news coming outta Carlton BB....
The bloke you've just recruited Elijah Hollands has been charged by Queensland police for possession of an illicit substance!

Being reported Carlton was aware prior to the trade.

Just let the players have a few beers after a game (particularly a win) and maybe they won't dabble in the other poison.

If I remember correctly, a Richmond player was the first player that tested positive to using steroids.

Justin Charles was the player. Big guy at catland fits the bill as well.

I think you're missing the point. We got absolutely smashed from pillar to post by the media, particularly in 2020.
I'm surprised Huge Rimmingass didn't push for a Royal Commission into Richmond FC.
The DEez are kissed on the *smile* by comparision by the AFL medja given the continual controversies that have been coming out of their club.
