WhippingBoySEN SaintFrankly TheOx05 And wada_ama can jam it! The NBA and NFL have their own anti drug code. Blame Vlad Demetriou

WhippingBoySEN SaintFrankly TheOx05 crap Balme and this peanut are living in wrong century . Both should give up their day jobs

TitusOReily Well the AFL does keep players away from those unhelpful positive tests, just the social drug kind U0001f609U0001f648 #3strikesnotout

TitusOReily No government funding. Good luck with that. Without WADA the sport will be like baseball and NFL. Drug cheats everywhere. Idiot

TitusOReily when I said idiot it was directed at Neil Balme and his gold fish bowl view of AFL. He is from Tasmania....

WhippingBoySEN TheGovernorSM SaintFrankly TheOx05 TitusOReily damn right 2 extremely successful sporting codes. Drop the wada_ama code

TitusOReily nailed it again Titus, though you probably could win the argument on the Goddard example alone.... #youknowitmakessense

JHammer1725 TitusOReily since when has Tassie been part of Western Australia cos thats where he's from

TheGovernorSM WhippingBoySEN SaintFrankly TheOx05 wada_ama you should do research into it before shooting your mouth off

WhippingBoySEN TheGovernorSM SaintFrankly TheOx05 TitusOReily
What a load of utter rubish.

TitusOReily
Absolutely hilarious. LOL the comments from knucklehead bogans who are in agreement cos they don't realise u r taking the piss

TitusOReily
MEMO to the knucklehead bogans......read the article before making comment. If u can't read....get someone to read it to you!U0001f602

Sometimes you're just a bit too clever for the average Essendon fan Titus!!! Love your work.

TitusOReily Brilliant Titus.

rogvaughan TitusOReily The AFL Code will also validate their dislike of anti-doping clauses in sponsor contracts. Thanks for the article.

I think some of the comments prove that people just want to be outraged and to voice this outrage so dont read an article after being outragred by the heading then prove their ignorance by posting said outrage whilst their little brain is still switched off. Thanks for the laugh all round.

TitusOReily lordloft this sums up our thoughts big fella, cheats need prosecuting #standbyhird lol

TitusOReily brilliant!!!

TitusOReily AFL should ditch adherence to WADA code. As long as they're prepared to ditch all government funding and use their own stadia.

TitusOReily official_lesdog Give up the money and facilities appropriated then

official_lesdog TitusOReily yeah drug prevention and drug taking tend not to hold hands too well.

official_lesdog TitusOReily BTW, pisstake aside, you've hit nail on head there. U0001f44d

Nail..head, one of you best Titus, absolutely spot on. Should be forwarded to all in the AFL, well except maybe Brendon Goddard.

One of, if not your best work so far.

We are not in any world championships nor Olympics lets load them up & see how good they really can be. It's entertainment ffs

James Hird approves of this post

Kerryn Edwards Dean Morgan Mackenzie Morgan. This could be Titus' best

Spot on as usual

Titus O'Reily for PM

They're weren't found guilty. The tribunal was comfortably satisfied.

ALF players need lessons from Sally Pearson and all our other international athletes. How would these mega dollar individuals cope with being woken up for drug tests, report their whereabouts every day,and lastly be individually responsible for substances ingested? Most of the ALF players earn so much more than our international athletes who train just as hard and are willing to undertake drug tests at any time in any location.

I found point 4 of the problems with WADA the most damning...

Then watch them die at 45

Why is it something so obvious can be unseen by some?

Are you claiming that one Jana Stein? I bet you wrote it for him.

Clearly WADA being independent goes against everything the AFL has sought to achieve, that being total dictatorship and unaccountability. Rather than break away from WADA, the easiest solution is for the AFL to sponsor WADA in exchange for Andrew Demetriou being appointed to the WADA Board. Problem solved...

Won't work Geoff. WADA is based in Canada. They don't do smorgasbords or buffets.

Because Dean Morgan ... we see what we want to see ... despite how stupid it might be ....

That is what defined guilt Matt. Just a like in the AFL tribunal they were not guilty, but they were never defined as innocent.

Tim Mcbride-Burgess. But if a laugh but spot on!

Won't work Joanne. How are blokes like Dustin Martin supposed to report their whereabouts every day when he can't remember where he's been...

Big words for a baby.

So true, in relation to so many things

yeh she did, I saw her drafting it

Yes Kerro it is

The AFL is going to point to the fact they have distanced themselves from state and federal law enforcement and deal with criminal matters in house. The AFL really feel they are helping the cops on the beat catch more speeding motorists and j walkers by investigating rape and criminal assaults through the match review panel

"Cry,cry,wah wah their not guilty as they never tested positive! You're an idiot!*typical Essendon supporters response when presented with a clear and logical argument from the rest of the world!

This is spot on Nick Gloede Damian Maynard Andrew Maynard

Thanks for giving me a hearty laugh! Enjoyed your comment. The tattooed man/boy looks like cartoon parody,or should I say paradox.

Point 4 about a man who points Mathew. Good point.

LOL "... even Essendon supporters now praise the AFL’s system without irony"!!

This is satirical, but absolutely spot on!!

Well played, Titus.

I hope WADA don't come to my nursing home. Most of the residents don't know what they've taken, where they've been or where they are. The whole scrabble team will get suspended.

You get caught Neil ????

So if they weren't found guilty Matt, why aren't they playing?

Still can't accept that you were wrong on Dusty, aye? You jumped the gun on that one. Otherwise a good write-up. #nocasetoanswer

Andrew Chisholm yes.

What you need Matt is a man's haircut and a couple of years national service to teach you about the real world.

I prefer to hear about the real world from your mrs.

Steven Bird Darren Butterworth Clint Dunell this is spot on.

Not likely Matt. She doesn't talk to men who look like Ken dolls.

Lance Armstrong approves this comment...U0001f601

David Kennedy Arky Beavis lol

Kristos you will love this.

Gold from Titus once more, the funniest thing is the twits who think he's serious...

So true!! If you can't see the systematic corruption of the AFL you'd have to be blind. Not to mention the constant and unwavering sense of entitlement of its players... Pretty disappointing to be honest. Let's drop the facade the AFL has created of being ingenuous and all-caring and realise that this is the most corrupt organisation in Australia! Instead of disassociating with WADA, why not adopt a policy of zero tolerance of all positive tests for banned substances and illicit drugs. I guess it's because the majority are on the gear...

outstanding Titus O'Reily - spot on!!!
Once upon a time our code existed as a fiefdom in the studios of World of Sport and a variety of restaurants around Sth Melbourne but surely it should evolve from those caveman days??
#itsjustnotfootball

I laughed until I cried when I read this post. Then I clicked on "related articles" and read one written at the time Jack Viney was reported. And if I thought I laughed hard at this one, I was hysterical at that post. Titus O'Reilly, you make being on FB worthwhile....you are one funny person....

Society is to blame

Titus is a Melbourne supporter. The only true winners out of the Essendon debacle. Means that melksham won't get to play for the mighty Dees

Spot on Nick! There wouldn't be a competition in existence if there was a ZERO tolerance policy! Especially if it was zero tolerance for what they like to describe as "recreational" drugs (illegal or illicit to the general public!)
Their ONLY reason to disassociate from WADA is so they can continue to run their corrupted organisation the way they want to. If only the TRUTH was known about all the 'cover ups' the AFL has done over the past 20 years. Might take a "FBI investigation into FIFA" style scenario to really find the truth though. The AFL already have all law enforcement agencies around Australia under their wing and the federal government! So it'd take an out of Australia organisation to get to the bottom of the corruption involved in this organisation. As long as the "image of the game" is upheld, the boys club will cover up whatever they need to.... The Dustin Martin case is just the latest cover up / pay off from the AFL who have declared through this cover-up and pay off of police and the woman involved that as an organisation they accept their employees being violent towards women!

Spot on. This whole Essendon saga could've been swept under the carpet, I mean, dealt with, faster. And this would allow the AFL & media to focus on important footy issues like naked Collingwood selfies.

More like a bad fit for Essendon.. Drug cheats

TitusOReily cannot work out why no one has sued you

TitusOReily these are more compelling reasons than have actually been given. :)

doodledogs1960 Why do you assume they haven't?

TitusOReily doodledogs1960 I'm currently seeking legal advice from Tania Hird U0001f631

TitusOReily Get rid of WADA .. It's holding up the Aussie game. We don't need a bunch of Swiss telling us how to play AFL!

TitusOReily outstanding

TitusOReily sorry Titus.I'm dealing with efc, dank, M hardie, Nik Giannopoulos issues .didnt see you at the Footscray slater&GORDON offices

FrankWCE1992 he is the worst of all of them

Ouch! AFL's reputation going great guns early 2016... "Let's enrol little Jonny into footy, it'll be good for him, learn team principles, hard work, leadership and life skills... And if all else fails (let's be honest, those values and principles can't survive in such a boys club system like the AFL) we can resort to cheating and lying to get ahead" sounds like a great life skill to have.... U0001f44dU0001f3fcU0001f44dU0001f3fcU0001f44dU0001f3fc

TitusOReily mel_wright AFL players are very well paid and should comply with the same rigid testing as all athletes!

TitusOReily spot on as usual, I had missed the idiocy of RichardDiNatale on this one

TitusOReily So you're just another journo!!??!! ... and you also write comedy, congrats

doodledogs1960 I didn't think it was possible but yes.. Talk about paranoid delusional.

Gold Peter Roach!

Brilliantly stated. The afl needs wada & asada more than ever to keep the Comp clean. The afl couldn't self regulate and govern poppy farming or Coke factories let alone dark & dank places!

TitusOReily outstanding stuff

So_You_Think02 Cheers

Brilliant exactly what the AFL were trying to do

TitusOReily brilliant.

TitusOReily mel_wright maybe if AFL players earned below minimum wage like the majority of swimmers they would take it seriously!

Neil Balme. Plz

should just be open slather. 100 metre torpedoes, 50 metre handballs, speccys on peoples heads, bring it on

This is great.
"Because of WADA, Brendan Goddard is captain of an AFL club" was my favourite.

If that ever comes in English I'd like to read it sometime!

Paul Meehan, Switzerland, Nazi gold... Nuff said

Luke Ruxton you'll find this funny.

Brent Charlton gold

This is brilliant.

GrogsGamut TitusOReily Pretty sure those are the exact reasons the AFL fought tooth and nail to avoid signing up to WADA.

AfterGrogBlog I reckon the last point re NFL and NBA is the one the AFL likes the most TitusOReily

GrogsGamut TitusOReily I can see AFL HQ in a flutter - "You know what will happen if we sign up to WADA?!?!?!"

GrogsGamut TitusOReily bloody nailed it

TitusOReily have nailed it. Balmes comments most interesting..

Tigers_of_Old TitusOReily putting that kindly tooheys. Idiotic I would have used.

TitusOReily perfect response to Leaping Larry's article. Was that your intent? http://www.theage.com.au/afl/essendon-bombers/wada-square-peg-inserted-in-questionable-hole-20160113-gm5j5y.html

thomasrdotorg No. Wrote it before I read his.

TitusOReily Here's LeapingL Vs Tyler Hamilton. Sure, they're not the same, but the culture is very close/ http://twitter.com/thomasrdotorg/status/691424651545686016/photo/1

TitusOReily well said. As a former Olympic athlete.

NatTitcume Thank you.

TitusOReily i love your commentary on this saga. Players got fair wack in the end. Only thing wrong was that it should have been 2 yrs ago

NatTitcume Yep. Although a fair bit of the delay was due to Hird's legal antics.

TitusOReily james Who? I have never seen that name before in papers or news

Because allowing people do do ALL the drugs with knowledge of the after effects is manslaughter?

damochandler TheGovernorSM WhippingBoySEN SaintFrankly TheOx05 wada_ama yeah the non WADA code sports are sooo clean #allTheDrugs

TitusOReily the two year delay served Essendon in the end, 17 players moved on.

NatTitcume does it seem bizarre that other athletes in similar sports who earn 100 times more are not held to the same rules ie baseball,?

NatTitcume you make judgements & tout your acheivments as quasi justification yet have no idea about whom or how they have been judged

ClintonCole_ we all know right from wrong. Hiding behind a consent form just does not cut it.

entersanmarcos AFL should never joined WADA. Its not an international sport. We play the Irish in a hybrid game every now then

NatTitcume indeed, I also think that Olympic team sports should have equal scrutiny as MLB, NFL and NBA do. As in some where in between

ClintonCole_ I'm guessing that you have signed a WADA and ASADA agreement as an athlete?

entersanmarcos agree
