Rumour Bluemour Discussion thread

[Quazza]

Some pretty big rumours on why Sando was moved on from Adelaide .

if that particular rumour was true, there's no way he would have landed that academy job.


that said, do not want

Loved it when Woosher, a qualified pharmacist, said he'd never touched drugs in his life.

Loved it when Ken Judge was coach of the Eagles and went to senior management and told them that Cousins, gardy and co were mixing with the wrong people and were not behaving off the field.

Judgey gets sacked and Cuz is made captain and Gardy vice captain.

 

[thylacine60]

[blueboy25]

who was gardy?

Michael Gardiner.

This is probably a bit off topic, but I have often wondered if players/pro athletes who suffer from depression/mental illnesses are allowed to take anti depressants?


Considering how common Depression is amongst the community these days, I'd like to think players are allowed to take these tablets to help improve their quality of life. Left untreated, depression can seriously affect a person's wellbeing. I hope players are given the opportunity to look after themselves, but considering how Crowley copped a 12 month ban for taking a pain killer, I'm not sure about the AFL/ASADA's stance on it.

It would be up to the athlete to ask the question of their doctor/asada. There is a therapeutic use exemption clause so I'm sure there is a way for depression medication to be taken. Just ask the question and don't lose the spreadsheet.

They're fine but you are right, there are many things like steroids in asthma medication, prednisolone etc that you can compete with as long you have a TUE.

I very much doubt that antidepressants would be considered performance enhancing... in fact, in certain areas of one's 'off-field' performing, antidepressants can have quite the demotivating effect...

David Ellard has been told he won't be offered a contract beyond this year. #bluemour

Thanks for the update!

Not really surprising I suppose...

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]

Hope Ellard gets a gig somewhere else, but i doubt he will.

Well that's a shame

I'll miss him

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Hardly a surprise.

 

[barass70]

I was told no decision on players futures til new coach is appointed

He will be getting into the building game. Probably make more money next year than he will this year.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Ellard was in the process of setting up his own cafe last year.

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]

did he build the cafe?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

did he build the cafe?

No, he came up with the concept, menu, etc. He was to be the owner, not the operator, I think.
One of the chefs from the hotel I was working with helped him with the menu.

Maybe we already have our man.

 

[LanceRomance]

well that makes sense

 

[Cringle]

And news on Watto?

Surely this is for the List Manager to determine though? Coach shouldn't be making the final call on which players he wants.

If we wait for the new coach, we end up with another year wasted because the new guy won't want to offload blokes until he's had a proper look at them. If SOS needs to make room, I'm comfortable with a few blokes being moved on.

 

[Blue__Balls]

And news on Watto?

Replaced by Mitch Marsh.

 

[barass70]

And news on Watto?

Spoke to Watto in Moonee Ponds yesterday wants to stay but don't think he will survive

 

[HBF]

Hardly a surprise.

Shouldn't have been given a 1 year contract anyway.

 

[HBF]

And news on Watto?

Dropped for the second test.
