Superthread LIV - Honouring the A-League

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Skeepe called me an idiot. What a pleasurable start to the day

I felt the same way when BM called me a f**kwit. Good times.

Lol@courier fail. Essendon being pinged as drug cheats barely rates a mention. Lions coach Michael Voss getting sacked on the front page. Back page is an ad, first 4 pages of sport inside that are about the Lions. I have often wondered which state out of Queensland and Victoria is more insular. Queensland has pulled in front by a nose with that one.

You read the Courier Mail? It's probably the only paper that is worse than the Telegraph.

They were cleared of the drugs charges :?

No they weren't. No players have been charged (yet) with any doping offences, but the club and several staff members (including the head coach) have been. How the club and staff can be regarded as bringing the game into disrepute over the administration of banned substances to players, yet no player can be found guilty of taking said banned substances is beyond me.

Though I suppose the NRL set a bit of a precedent with the Storm, where no players were punished for signing multiple contracts or accepting expensive boats, only the club itself.

It's a real turn on when people use then and than correctly. I'm a freak :lol:

No, I spied it while I was waiting for my breakfast at HJs.

The Storm are more scummy THAN any other sporting club in the known universe. ;-)

I must have read the article wrong then. I refused to turn on the tv or radio last night and this morning. I don't want to listen to the tripe.

 

[madunit]

Not yet Dani.

the final report into players hasn't been completed yet

 

[Jason Maher]

To be slightly more accurate and clear, the AFL have jumped the gun and gone after Essendon for "bringing the game into disrepute", rather than waiting for the final ASADA report and charging them with an actual doping violation.

 

[thorson1987]

If essendon lose points, Carlton move into the 8.

Get it done AFL.

Yep, and it's all to try and protect the leagues image

 

[Jason Maher]

Carlton and West Coast are equal on points. Carlton have a very slim advantage on percentage (1.2%). Carlton play Richmond, Essendon, and Port, West Coast play Geelong, Collingwood, and Adelaide. Advantage Carlton because Essendon won't show up. They'll get murdered by Richmond though.

 

[Jason Maher]

I wonder how El D is feeling this morning?

 

[whall15]

Hmm, yes I liked it when that Frank bloke missed the goal and got the one point.

Anyways, the Raiders thread in the main forum is hilarious.

Yeah Carlton have been shit for years after getting done for rorting the Salary Cap.

Doesn't help that they have Malthouse as coach now

 

[Jason Maher]

You mean the coach who has taken his teams to 7 Grand finals (91,92,94,02,03,10,11), winning 3 of them (92,94,10)?

I'll be honest, for me it would be like Liverpool signing SAF.

Just wrong on so many levels
