dean laidley to make a triumphant return obv

 

[uvelocity]

went and watched the local aussie rules and sunk lots of cans

 

[Jono]

Lol @ North Melbourne. Good on ya winning by a bucket load against my boys when they don't show up. But didn't take long for you to return to your choking ways.

Brad Scott's unnecessarily early contract renewal is turning out to be a woeful move.

 

[Jono]

Hmm Brisbane 4/1 at 3 quarter time, we are only 15 points up, a man down a couple more sore and a history of choking

you know your team well.

 

[ajdude]

ah ****, paul roos.

 

[howardj]

the Scott boys are very strange men

 

[morgieb]

A long overdue tipping update:

1=. morgieb 101.8
1=. benchmark00 101.8
3. alternative 98.9
4. Jono 98.7
5. BoyBrumby 98.6
6. howardj 96.5
7. ajdude 95.6
8. vic_orthdox 91.6
9. Riggins 89.4
10. superkingdave 85.3
11. Spikey 81.2
12. Samuel Vimes 79.2

Could not be closer at the top. Brumby and Benchmark surging really, with ajdude failing.

Also, reminder for Vimes and Spikey to put their tips in, else I'll be forced to exclude you.

Martin Blake ‏@martinj_blake 9m
@GerardWhateley says ASADA advised those who inquired in 2012 that AOD peptide was NOT prrohibited.

Martin Blake ‏@martinj_blake 7m
@GerardWhateley says ASADA official believed almost impossible to sustain a prosecution in those circumstances.

I'm not sure if Whateley has later discussed this, but the sketchy language used in relation to a 'thymosin' substance remains a concern. (some types of thymosin is allowed, but supposedly players were never made clear what thymosin they were taking, which is obviously a worry)

 

[uvelocity]

if afl has any balls it would sanction the club for bringing the sport into disrepute at the least

 

[Jono]

Essendon were always just going to cop some ****ty fine and get away with this. For all my smack talk I knew this would always happen.

**** this ****.

there'll be at least a massive fine. maybe some draft picks taken away.

 

[Backlash]

**** this ****.

It's never about fairness, it's all about money.

Essendon going down costs too many people too much money. The AFL can't have that.

 

[Ausage]

Cronulla on the other hand...

 

[Spikey]
