In all honesty I'm surprised at the welcome Lynch has received from the Collingwood faithful. If the tables were turned and we were receiving Lynch in the twilight of his career I wouldn't be that stoked.

If Chris Dawes was getting a game in our best 22, i would be stoked to get Lynch.
 
How stupid does the AFL look in light of this Essendon ordeal - testing for recreational drugs like it's the Orwellian thought police, yet it can't even stamp out performance enhancing drugs.

ive heard that it was testosterone and HGH, which im assuming were either not on the testing list, or are very difficult to test for, as they're both natural chemicals produced by the body.
 
Was there anything in that photo from earlier in the pre-season where shuey, and other players appeared to have strapping around the inside of thir elbow as if they were being given fluids intravenously. A lot on here were saying it was just saline/water solution due to the heat in Perth, but is that allowed, reading a lot of sources nothing more than 50ml can be delivered via injection.

I might get flamed for this but I am genuinely interested after defending our club in that photo on the main board.

given the fact woosha is both strongly against this kind of stuff and also a pharmacist (meaning it would be hard to delude him and convince him its another substance), i feel pretty safe.

not sure if this has been stated elsewhere re: the essendon stuff but geez i'm glad we didn't take a look at reimers this draft period. the spray mcveigh gave him today backs up everything i've ever heard about the bloke being a complete prick. (don't think it was ever mentioned seriously but his name seems to pop up on our board every year.)

If everything took place as McVeigh decribes, why did Essendon approach the AFL with their concerns? Something doesn't add up.

Is Wellingham training with the midfield group? or forward group?

Will he possibly get a negating/tagging role like he has successfully done in the past?
I think this may well be an option, as Woosha has said he will allow them to free Scooter up a bit.
 
Does anyone know when Wellingham played his best games last season? Just signed up to the telstra app and thought may as well try it out on one of his better games (after watching all the Eagles games of course).

haha tanked for hutchings,it was a stretch tanking for darling at pick 26 or whatever it was,think you just made that up
 
from a source close to the action.

C'mon seriously ......

In the midst of the performance enhancing drugs shit storm, you think that somebody is seriously entertaining the idea that the Eagles tanked by winning four of their last five games, losing only to Hawthorn at the MCG in round 23, to finish 5th in order to pick up a WAFL player they could have obtained in the rookie draft?

Pull the other one champ, it's got balls on it.
