I want blood!

Did you miss that whole bit about ice being a stimulant.

Sure it screws you in the long run, I don't discount that, but because of this don't dismiss it as not a performance enhancing drug. To do so is well... dare I say ignorant bull@@@@.

I know exactly what a stimulant is. "Stimulant" does not mean "performance enhancing". Ice increases blood pressure, sweating and heart-rate, things you DON'T want happening on a footy field unnecessarily. It may heighten alertness, but not on the level you want, instead making the user focus on repetitive tasks. It increases energy in the short term. That's the only thing vaguely performance-enhancing about it. However, that is more than cancelled out by the fact that it is dehydrating, increases your blood pressure and heart rate, and causes you to expend that extra energy through twitching, increased heart rate, stress and agitation. Have you seen a typical person high on ice? They aren't in any state to run around for two hours on a footy field.

Cousins would be incredibly stupid to be high on ice during a match. There is also no way he could have gotten away with it if he had. He never failed a drug test during the season. His problem was most likely confined to the off-season, or else he is very, VERY lucky not to have been caught even once.

Get over your hatred for the Weagles and Cousins. He isn't a cheat. We can judge his lifestyle choices all we want, but he isn't a cheat.

I'm so on your side Deadly!!

As I mentioned in another thread, I want to see the Swannies rip those budgie criminals a new one.

If we win by a small margin, I'll be happy.

If we win by a large margin ... it's going to be a VERY big night.

Spot on Annie,and i'm looking forward to having a drink tomorrow night.

swans vs cocaine sniffers

Hey guys

I think that West Coast without Priddis and also Embley as well as Dean Cox struggling are going to find it difficult to beat the Swans

[Zlatorog]

I hope you guys are right. Last year we were all pumped up in Rd 1 expecting to win, only to loose in the end by a point. I hope that all conquering Swans turn up for the game otherwise it's going to be just another embarrassment.

Exactly!!!

Lets ensure that we stay in the top half, whilst the eagles are in the cellar!!!

I'm sick of our slow start to the year. Lets put some pressure on the ladder, so we can afford to lose some games in the second half of the year.

[Triple B]

I have a heap of respect and admiration for the Eagles. I am not going to let the poor behaviour of a handful (two of which the club has dumped) effect my view of Glass, Cox, Hunter, Wirra, Jones et al who play excellent footy conduct themselves well on and off the field and have given us great contests.

Are you kidding about Hunter????

Scumbag of the absolute highest order.

How could you forget his continual bumping of MOL whilst he was trying to simply stretch his legs in the 2006 QF? Finally MOL pushes him away and Hunter receives a free, so gets in MOL's face laughing all the way because he put one over the scumps.

You seriously respect him? Surely not. He's a Tool, the capital 'T' intentional.

[Captain]

Get over your hatred for the Weagles and Cousins.

Why?

[TheGrimReaper]

Why?

Because as a Swans supporter you're suppose to love em!

[cruiser]

Drug cheats? I don't know if you realise, but ice isn't a performance enhancing drug.

You obviously havent used ice and therefore have no idea what you are talking about.

[Xie Shan]

Disclaimer: I don't hate the Eagles, and I hope tonight's game is a cracker, with us prevailing (naturally). Thought this was worth revisiting...it's just for fun!

A little ditty

We hate you girls, we hate you Eagles you big bunch of pussies
We hate your guts you yuppie mongrels
We hate you girls, we hate you Eagles you big bunch of pussies
We hate your guts

We hate the way you try to claim the whole West Coast
We hate the way you pretend to have a history
We hate the way you act like you?re too cool to bother hating us

You are Weagles
With knitting needles
And you?re here to make us laugh
You like big birds
You play in the big games
But no-one cares who wins as long as they finish knitting the scarf

Wet Toast Weagles
Slime and scum
Stick your knitting needles

We hate you girls, we hate you Eagles you big bunch of pussies
We hate your guts you yuppie mongrels
We hate you girls, we hate you Eagles you big bunch of pussies

We hate your song, we hate your flag, we hate your total lack of passion
We hate your blue and yellow, we hate your girly captains
We hate you with a vengeance, we hate you night and day
We hate your knitting needles
And we hate your chardonnay

[cruiser]

I hope we smash 'em and get the 4 points.

HUNTER!!? Are you serious? The man is one of the most loathesome players in AFL history. I hate him with a passion and have zero respect for the ****wit.

[Robbo]

Ahhh, how good does it feel to beat these pricks again? It had been a while.

[QUOTE=BSA5;369929]Drug cheats? I hate that kind of ignorant bull@@@@. I don't know if you realise, but ice isn't a performance enhancing drug. IQUOTE] You are completely wrong....ice is a performance enhancing drug. It allows you to not feel pain, to feel superhuman, to have more than average strength, to be overly aggressive, to be able to run without feeling (as) fatigued. That's why it's banned. That's why the Eagles won in 2006. Their best player for the entire year epitomised those EXACT traits...Ben Cousins. D'uh!
