Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2022, part II

If he couldn’t get a flag with a list full of 1st round picks he got no ******* hope with Ess

Apparently Cameron is also in line to be named as the coach of the Sydney Swans academy team - guessing that's based on him not getting the gig at Essendon...

But seriously, why???

Carey demands ‘thorough police investigation’ as dispute with Crown deepens

AFL commentator Wayne Carey is defiant as he fronts the media for the first time in his hometown of Wagga Wagga on Thursday night, telling reporters “nothing illegal has occurred here”.

Lots of holes in Carey story I think Crown handled it as well as they could they are not going to do onsite testing just to ban someone

Yeah. That would give a new meaning to the term "Crown prosecutor".

 

[cats_09]

Wonder where they'll call home for the week?

 

[Lana]

You know you are in trouble when Libba is the responsible adult there

Best person to have around, who would have more experience

Just so embarrassing for all parties involved.

If Carey is adamant there wasn't an issue with the substance, he should have insisted that it be tested.

And if Crown were certain there was an issue, they should have insisted that it be tested.

As it is, everyone can now play 'He said, they said' till the cows come home.

Utter farce.

crown can’t just go have it tested. They would then potentially be handling an illegal drug. They should have retained it, got the cops involved and then it would be tested.

Anybody who believes Wayne Carey had a bag of crushed up pain meds is dumber than he is.

End of.

Anybody who brings in a bag of crushed up white stuff to any public place is as dumb as ....or attention seeking.... or both

I'm still surprised we care so much about which public figures are caught carrying bags of white powder around as opposed to those who are better at sneaking.

 

[Play it Sam]

Very good. Since when does the player, albeit champion that he is, insist days out, he is playing.
Geelong are smarter than this, Scott has better judgement than to make that early medical call.
Stress fractures require modified activity, especially from the repetitive exercise that caused it.
Pain likely to increase, not decrease, has to overcome bleeding corky tissue and is massive risk.

It's the how we know about it that has caused the ruckus.

 

[Mr Meow]

So "don't get caught" is the main issue.

As far as the story, if Carey tried to sell it as magic flying powder for his next trip to Pluto, makes no difference to me. Each to their own.

I think it’s more the pathetic attempt to claim it wasn’t coke and the screeching of being unjustly banned that has people talking more than anything else

It’s very comical to watch

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

You would think even the most one-eyed supporters could see that...

If this last week has taught me anything, logic and facts matter not to one-eyed footy fans. Absolute loons out there

On that I do agree, I'm always up for chuckling over a ridiculous defence.

 

[CatRiot]

I'm tipping Brisbane

I think they can do it also.

Btw, J Lyons for Lions, has his form dropped off this year? Was decent last year... not even in Emergencies.

Good luck to Darcy Fort - i hope he plays really well for the Lions

Lincoln McCarthy watching him lately and including last week - and i did watch the whole game when they played Rich at the MCG in the h/a season i dont think he gets involved enough -and he is playing like a tall forward - like an o/head marking option but that is all - he has to contribute in other ways apart from that

 

[cats_09]

Wonder if our Tigers mate here realises the irony in his post considering the club's chasing a contracted Hooper, having also previously approached a certain Cat with two years to run on his contract at that time...

 

[Goggin Our Best]

How do you know that? You're assuming...you need more than assumptions to convict.

Totally agree

And im not suggesting hes innocent or guilty

But pain is pain - what took place and how it has been handled - and now hes got legal talent defending him - re the statement they released - he wont be charged with anything - and i think his media roles are safe -

The way he would totally get off the charge or hook or inuendo - is for his specialist to give him a letter saying yeah i told him to crush those anti inflammatorys that i prescribed him

I’m sure a doctor /specialist would be willing to lose their license to write up that crap because there’s no way to prescribe the right dosages with crushed medication

 

[Munich]

Who’s convicting him?

This isn't a murder trial
