Why would you assume it's not random - these tests happen after every major event, and if it wasn't Tyson it would have been another player
A similar situation happened after the women's T20 World Cup final at the MCG in 2020 - our VC was called in for a random drug test and missed the post match celebrations

They just showed up. What was left of them anyway.
Just competing every year, and the way they hold themselves. Seeing them crying and embracing each other, seeing their kids run up to other players like family members, you can tell what it meant and that they did it for each other.
Some clubs have players who circulate pictures of naked women wearing the medal.
We have a guy who put his medal on a calf and sent it off to enjoy the moment with its friends.
The club, the team, the town, and you guys.. plus we seem to win a lot..
I bloody love everything about the Cats
I'm not saying it's unusual or unwarranted. I'm saying it's coincidental beyond probability that Tyson was called.
Random drug and alcohol screening will only be truly random if you use a random generator that is statistically valid - an equal degree of probability.
I'm concerned with how he must have felt, knowing how cruel the AFL world can be, and would like to see the hat his name was drawn from, so to speak.
Havnt been on here since early Saturday morning.... What more can I say... to go and watch the Grand Final live in person was one of the best days of my life, obviously behind getting married and birth of my 3 kids. To witness what they did with 100,000 plus at a MCG and the sound of Geelong fans getting louder each goal, each touch of the ball is beyond amazing 
... Thank You Geelong Football on winning the Flag, it was un F#%kin Believable..
Up the Mighty Cats

Edit: perhaps their model is the top 10 players, a small sample, but he was chosen from that. Smells a bit.
Jack Henry turned on the taps, laid the mat, fluffed the towels, threw in the salts and a rubber ducky, and gave big Buddy a bath.

Still in a state of almost disbelief. The perfect finish to a dominant season. A performance so skilled, so brutal, so ruthless and one I didn't think this group was capable of sustaining for four quarters. It was what footy is all about and why we love it. It was skill, desire, brutality, leaving nothing out there in the quest for glory. Every player playing their role, and I mentioned that team first ethos a few days ago and how it's been crucial to this year's success.
It is vindication for everything we've done over the past 10 years particularly. While we've all had a doubts about the path we took and whether things should have been done differently, you had to love the refusal to succumb to the temptation of a full rebuild. Failure to win yesterday would have once again seen the question rightly or wrongly raised about our club. Thankfully we don't need to worry about that anymore.
It was redemption for every one of those players who had been questioned, once again, some fairly, others arguably unfairly. Rhys Stanley, Gary Rohan, Jake Kolodjashnij, Gryan Miers, Tom Atkins for example. Were they good enough? Would they help us win our next flag? The faith by the club has been rewarded. I am delighted for every one of the 23 who are now first time premiership players.
Chris Scott. Had his many detractors. But he orchestrated this flag, he started with almost a clean slate at the beginning of the year. But was it too little, too late? Did we have the cattle? Once again they didn't want to die wondering. And there's every chance it may not have worked either. We all know how bloody hard these things are to win! But gee it has been better than the alternative. He's confirmed his greatness.
Here's a brief snapshot 2007-2022
283 wins at 73.3% win rate.
56 All Australian Awards
3 Brownlows
40 finals
12 Prelim Finals
6 Grand Finals (One every 2.7 years)
4 Premierships.
What a f**king football club we are fortunate to support!

Just watched the replay. How ****ing enormous was Danger’s game. He did so much of the grunt work that resulted in goals.

I wonder how much he is paying for the Brownlow next year

Absolute class. Swans should be proud.
The fog has cleared and I have coherent thoughts to convey. I NEVER believed that the Sydney Swans and the scragging, stoppage-loving, strangulating and suffocating team ethos that they've kept to for so long, would be as utterly torn apart as it was yesterday.
WE did it to THEM!!!!
Wow. Just wow. I mean, we were long due but holy sh*t...

Said to a mate I was with yesterday that we are starting to even the ledger of GF wins against losses we’ve been to since ‘89. Still one more to go! (Don’t include 2020 because couldn’t get there).
Congrats on yesterday .
Well deserved and clearly best team all season.
Too good all over the park and a well drilled professional unit.
Big shout out to a Cats fan in MCC who swapped seats/tickets with me so I could sit next to my mum.

I think we will manage him like we did Selwood this year so no hope you would think.
Now Holmes on the other hand
