A little better than Grant Thomas' russian enema technique I hope.

The other thing about this treatment is that, during the process of removing the protein from the blood, a genetic splice can also be taken and this can be cultured in a laboratory over a period of time, thereby producing a clone. If Nick lasts long enough, his clone can then seamlessly take his place in the team without anyone noticing, his apparent youth being explained by the treatment. Of course, the technique could produce more than one, but even Brian Taylor might notice that.

I think you will find that already happened with Wakelin.

Doesn't always work out as planned

Why is Rooey a bit hush hush about it?

Is he the only player in the AFL to use it?

Let's hope the AFL don't ban the process.

[desertsaint]

He's getting there

But a bit to go

[stkildathunda]

Pretty sure This is same treatment Paul Chapman used in 2009 that caused that uproar.

[BigMart]

But he's completely free in his movement.... So it's a surprise he's even carrying an injury??

Ive never read that on here or even heard it. Who said that? I know one person said he moves like a super rules player. It was after one game watching it on TV so it made a lot of sense at the time and looks an even better call now.

You would hope not, because the AFL fell into line with WADA after that Grand Final and made it a banned practice.

similar but different, ro is coy on the details, probably because "I don;t know all the science behind it" (from the age video)

Needs more nailbed.

Yes
I loved that cos a year later he was a fat bastard again !

I lost a few kilos listening to his graphic explanation of the technique on telly.

Without going back & looking at articles, wasn't Chapman injecting the blood back into the muscle (was it a calf injury?) which was then banned...? For memory they stated at the time that injecting it into joints/tendons was ok which is obviously what Nick would be doing.

[saintkellerm]

Shame it doesn't help his goal kicking.

[stevie]

Shame it doesn't help his goal kicking.

Maybe injecting Plugger's blood would help...

Which Plugger?

Plugger, if you have an injury and don't move like an 18 year old you are naturally a super rules player.
And nothing, not even 5th on the goalkicking list will change minds

I am not convinced that he is as good as what is being said. He looks to be in severe pain at times, particularly late in the game. Playing closer to goal and less running is probably helping him quite a bit.
