St.Kilda - the AFL's Raelene Boyle

[joffaboy]

We all kow that Raelene Boyle was cheated out of Two gold medals at the 1972 Olympics by Renate Stecher who was choc to the eyeballs on performance enhancing drugs.

Considering the two clubs we got Silver to in 2009 and 2010 are now under a serious cloud involving Thompson and The Weapon with one and serious WADA target testing of the other, will it come to pass that the Saints have been dudded as per Boyle?

It certainly wont change the fact we have no flags, as even if both team were found to be choc a block full of illegal substances the runner up wouldn't get the flag. And really who would want it, you would want to win it fair and square not as an afterthough because the winner was cheating.

Will just be a shame if all this comes to pass and we, as Saints supporters have been completely dudded by systematic drug cheating.

Please no jokes about breast cancer.

Not only that 1997 saw Darren Jarman go nuts on performance enhancing pies.

Hopefully we are the AFLs Cadel Evans - and after years of near misses and being cheated we get there!

But great analogy with RB. She was shafted!

the major assumption being Saints & Cadel have never "crossed the line"

Be careful eating pies.
One leading brand in Adelaide that are available at a national supermarket chain, call them "Meat Pies".
When I decided to try one from a four pack, the pastry and gravy was there.
But there was no, or very little meat.

I put one in the backyard for the birds to eat.
The only birds to eat it were the resident magpies.

Heckle and Jeckle

I am not sure whether I should have named them.

I think Bob Keddie's last qtr in the 71 GF should now be queried.

Hell, we could move past Brisbane for premierships all in one go!

Essendon must have been on the juice in '65!

But in those days they were called diet pills.

Remember "Ford Pills" loaded with amphetamines.

How do you know we are squeaky clean??

If we had cheated we would have got caught.

Yep, any non-Essendon supporter crowing about this could easily be on pretty shaky ground in coming weeks and months. Pretty unlikely that it will be only one club involved in the final washup.

And don't forget that 1913 Fitzroy team. They were definitely on drugs. Especially the coach Percy (Polly want crack) Parratt. And of course the selectors were on drugs. They picked Chuck Norris and George Bernard Shaw in the same team.

This.
Hard to believe that we would get away with it.

[BigMart]

If our SS department was at the same level as our recruiting dept..... Yes, you are right... Caught for sure...

In fact, they would have given the wrong drugs....

Perhaps we needed Cousins after all.

KFT, where did you dig that up? Did you just happen to be browsing through old GF teams?

I just thought why only go back to '65. Google and Wikipedia made the rest easy.
