Fresh ACL for Doedee, no good. Was thinking for the past week I’d love for him to have come to us and succeeded Howe
That was the plan last year but he chose Brisbane instead.

You should see them salivating over it on the Rumour thread.. particularly Bomber supporters, lol.It's a totally nothing story.
It's also another case of a polly abusing parliamentary privilege to push an agenda.
3 strikes is out of competition testing.That'll be the AFL response. Get clubs to notch these things as a strike under the three strikes policy. I think the current 3 strikes policy is only if you test positive in an official drug test.
It won't "fix it" or reduce drug use. AFL clubs can't fix an issue that is society wide. It'll probably just make less players willing to repoort their drug use to the club if they are at risk of testing positive - resulting in more players playing with recreational drugs in their system.
Its a big story.You should see them salivating over it on the Rumour thread.. particularly Bomber supporters, lol.
All wondering why it's not as big a story today as they thought it would be.

It is, but it also smears Shaun Smith, so…It's a totally nothing story.

Isn't that the same thing? Recreational drugs are only prohibited under the WADA code on match day. It's making sure that a bloke who might still have some cocaine in his system doesn't play a match with cocaine still in his system - as the consequences of that are huge.
Doedee another ACL tear.
We dodged a bullet here tipping $750k x5 on a player having now his third ACL in 4 years.
I don't think it is a big story. It's in line with the AFL illicit drug policy. They're not putting players on the field who may have illicit drugs in their system.Its a big story.
But like a few on here, i agree it's not because of the fact players are taking the drugs.
More that the AFL are actively circumventing WADA authority on match day (allegedly).
IMO - that and the manipulation of a game by virtue of benching players are actually the stories.
Utter nonsense. Clubs cannot 'run intercept'. WADA testers walk into the rooms and inform who they are testing and do not leave their sight until a sample is provided. There is no "choice".Yes, but I'm not suggesting that they would omit players so that they're not subject to testing, I'm suggesting that those players would likely still play but the club then can 'run intercept' on testing authorities and steer them away from those players. And I don't believe for one second that this doesn't happen.
It’s also preventing them recording a strike under the AFL’s own policy, devised specifically to deal with recreational (but not performance-enhancing) drug use. And the benefits for clubs and the AFL in doing so are obvious, such that they have no moral authority.I don't think it is a big story. It's in line with the AFL illicit drug policy. They're not putting players on the field who may have illicit drugs in their system.
Willie Rioli says 'Hi'.The story is that they planned to or did omit them with fake injuries.
I don't think they can steer them away from players on Matchday. My understanding is they have a list of players and stick around until they've seen them piss into a cup.
If it’s “off the books” it makes a complete mockery of the three strikes policy for illicit drugs. Yes it protects the player from testing positive under the WADA code, and a lengthy ban, but the ulterior motive of the AFL is to keep its premium product out on the field and avoid unwanted negative press.
The illicit drugs policy is designed to maximise player welfare, and it is being subverted by the clubs’ and league’s interests.
He tried to beat the system and got done.Willie Rioli says 'Hi'.
You know he got caught trying to tamper with his sample? It goes against your contention.Willie Rioli says 'Hi'.
Well maybe that might be where the Dee's are called out..if they were doing this so their players avoided a strike. But if players self report, I didn't think it was recorded as strike anyway.It’s also preventing them recording a strike under the AFL’s own policy, devised specifically to deal with recreational (but not performance-enhancing) drug use. And the benefits for clubs and the AFL in doing so are obvious, such that they have no moral authority.

And what penalty did he received from that? Tampering with a sample is subject to a four year ban - I don't recall that happening....You know he got caught trying to tamper with his sample? It goes against your contention.
3 strikes is out of competition testing.
Match day is WADA. Zero tolerance to substances deemed performance enhancing.
Not run or controlled by the AFL.
AFL should not sign up to WADA if they are going to do their own thing anyway.
He got two years, which assumedly there was a provision within th ASADA code to give a bloke two years rather than 4 - or perhaps it was just 2 at the time - it seems to change every couple of years.And what penalty did he received from that? Tampering with a sample is subject to a four year ban - I don't recall that happening....

Kinda like how telling people where all the speed cameras are, helps people not to speed.This doesn't contravene WADA. It helps players to not breach the WADA code (unless we're all misunderstanding and they were doing this for PEDs).
You may be right, but I’m hoping the story will take some attention away from us. We are copping it from all angles at the moment, and any distraction is welcome. Especially if it doesn’t involve us - for now…
Don't think there will be any whack. The AFL has come out very strongly supporting the extra testing.It will, but it will probably become a league wide story - clubs would be negligent to not encourage self reporting and then to take action to avoid the risk of blokes testing positive.
Hopefully, it then winds back to just Melbourne and the probability that they then just ignored the drug use, rather than counselling players. A Dees negligence story would be fun.
Either way - they'll cop an AFL whack - which is good - because that's what the AFL do with a negative story - regardless of whether the club has done anything wrong.
