Rounded out with our annual adventure to Pork Barrell Stadium.

The goal umps are s**t scared of field umpires overturning their decisions, like when they signal OOB when the footy slams into the point post on the full and makes such a thump that you could heat it over the racket that the cheer squad were making...

That’s a heavy loss; assuming he has his own costs plus has to pay Nines?

Yikes… from the Hun

A Melbourne Football Club doctor has sensationally admitted to conducting “off the books” illicit drug tests – allegedly authorised by the AFL – to help players evade detection on match day.
The doctor-turned-whistleblower says players who confessed to having taken drugs in the days before an AFL game were given secret tests to ensure their systems were clear or were advised to “fake an injury” so they would not risk being tested and suspended for breaches of the World Anti-Doping Agency code.

Federal MP Andrew Wilkie told parliament on Tuesday night he had received a signed statement from former Demons head doctor Zeeshan Arain in which he accuses the AFL of facilitating the clandestine drug tests at Dorevitch Pathology in Heidelberg.
Mr Wilkie called on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to intervene in the scandal.
In a stunning address in parliament, Mr Wilkie said: “I rise to bring the house’s attention deeply troubling allegations of egregious misconduct within the AFL provided by former Melbourne football club president Glen Bartlett, former Melbourne football club doctor Zeeshan Arain and Shaun Smith, father of Melbourne player and now alleged drug trafficker Joel Smith.

“The allegations include the prevalence of drug abuse and other prohibited behaviour across the AFL, off the books drug-testing of players at Dorevitch Pathology in Heidelberg, facilitated by the former chief medical officer of the AFL Peter Harcourt, the resting of players testing positive in these secret tests, ostensibly on account of injury, wilful inaction by AFL chairman Richard Goyder, and former CEO Gill McLachlan….

“Here is what happened as has been described to me: The AFL wants the player to play at all costs and so the cover up begins.

“If there are no illegal drugs in the player’s system they are free to play and if there are drugs in their system the player is often asked to fake an injury.

“They are advised to lie about a condition, while the results of the off-the-book tests are kept secret and are never shared with Sports Integrity Australia or WADA.

“In other words, hundreds of thousands of Australians will watch the game not knowing that the game has been secretly manipulated by the AFL and thousands of Australians will bet on that game not knowing the game has been secretly manipulated by the AFL.”

The AFL had a longstanding contract with Dorevitch Pathology to conduct testing for its controversial out-of-competition illicit drugs code.

Surely if the allegations stack up we're going to executives ousted.

If they’re true, this is bigger than *’s systematic doping regime.

Actively testing player off the books in order to circumvent positive tests, then doubling down and forcing players to miss games with ‘injuries’.

**** me.

Said same thing in the other thread on this. Massive story.

What was that ex president Glen Bartlett on about way back ?

Goodwin being up to his gills in booze and drugs and the board forcing Bartlett out because he wanted more/better testing. That court case is still ongoing iirc.

's little adventure nearly a decade ago. I believe the official story was he did a bunch of drugs and was then advised by Gubby Allen to hide out somewhere away from home and then they collectively "forgot" to update ASADA as to his whereabouts.

Also if the story is true then it's possibly a bit naive to have it in the non-north thread. On the other hand the AFL are such campaigners they probably didn't let us in on their little game in the hopes some of ours would get caught then they could ship us off or shut us down.

Did Doedee come back too early from his ACL injury, to do it again so quickly? No matter how desperate we are, I hope that we give Logue all the time he needs...

 

[tricknologist]

I doubt we'll rush him back. People on here are desperate for a win, but I don't see the club rushing one of our most important players back to chase wins this season. I mean, just look at how careful they were with Wardlaw last year.

Not a chance. Played managed time in the VFL last weekend and came out unscathed. He would be ticking all the boxes with the medical team at Brisbane before doing anything. Given it happened at training is just so cruel.

I wonder who informed Wilkie?

 

[big_e]

I wonder who informed Wilkie?

Bartlett, surely.

Wants to drag Melbourne through the mud but also doesn't want to get sued again. In those circumstances, parliamentary privilege is your friend.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I wonder who informed Wilkie?

Didn't Wilkie say the ex-club doc was the whistle-blower?

 

[Sillygit]

Apparently oliver's had an "injury scare" today at training, just in time for the long weekend.
