    I've got no doubt there's a connection there somewhere. They previously had close relationships with WC players and I'm pretty sure that Cousins won't be buying his stuff from the local corner druggie.

      I don't think those three above guys spend any time worrying about 06.
      Don't be too sure about that. Tagdh and Goodesy have said just recently that they are still gutted.
      Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

        We got beaten. Re-writing the record books won't take the hurt of that day away.

          At least it was an honourable hurt, Not like last year. I still can't bear to think about it.

            I don't think they did.

            West Coast therefore passed the AFL recreartional drugs policy.

            This recreational drugs policy is in place to protect all players at all clubs.

            We have to let this go.
            Well, Lance Armstrong was never caught cheating and yet all his championships were taken away from him. Just because you haven't been caught at the time it doesn't mean you aren't guilty of cheating. Sooner or later somebody is going to sing and it will be embarrassing for AFL.

                The way Cousins used to run out games and his super human endurance are both consistent with short term benefits of meth use.

                Same reason they gave it to soldiers in WW2, plenty of examples of college athletes using it and showing amazing short term benefits.

                I'll nail my thoughts clkearly - They Were CHEATS!!!!
