      There must have also been an umpire there.

        Now there's a point, and we may never know, has he ever even taken Coke? Benefit of the doubt, were the drugs not for him? I am assuming all players get randomly or regularly tested for drugs and Talia would know that, maybe they weren't for him and he has already been kicked to gutter by many without knowing the complete story.
        As was the case (apparently) with Matthew Stokes.

            Nah, but it's rumoured that ten minutes later, a Hawthorn player snorted a line from the petrol tank of a police bike, but nobody saw a thing.

              Haha! That's brilliant! A Lannister Hawkster always pays his debts.

              Off with their heads.

              Bit too severe, I reckon. Maybe Talia should be made to walk naked down Oxford Street...

                  Storm in a teacup. So they can test positive up to 3 times and still play but if they get caught by the cops it's one strike you're out? Hundreds of players do this. Still I see how it's bad for the Swans image as a family club for this to be public, I wonder how often it is hushed up?

                  And I love the Hawks response that they're confident their player did nothing wrong. Yes - clearly Talia was going to take it all himself! Actually that does look bad for the Hawks, clearly they're not as worried about their image.

                    Tim Watson says penalty for 1st strike should be stronger.
                    There wasn't this much outrage when the 2 Collingwood players got done for PED's that were in the ILLICIT drugs that they took.
                    Eddie Maguire will be all over it.
                    Silly by Talia to get caught by the police as his name is all over the media, but if caught by the AFL no mention of your name. I am not condoning this behaviour but the double standards are apparent.

                      I had high hopes for Talia. I hope we can salvage something out of this, but given his court appearance is more than a month away, sounds like we wont see him play again this year.

                        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                                !00% agree with this. You can have two free hits at it unless you're arrested.
