Kangaroos Shock The Hawks in Finals

Links : AFL Football | Hawks | Kangaroos

THE Kangaroos have stunned the highly-fancied Hawks by 33 points at the MCG to advance a preliminary final against Port Adelaide next Saturday at AAMI Stadium.

Thrashed by 106 points a week earlier, the Roos were a completely different unit on Saturday night and led from start to finish to record the 14.9 (93) to 8.12 (60) win in front of 74,981 fans.

Hawthorn’s tall forwards had received most of the press leading into the match but the Kangaroos’ superior pressure on the ball carrier starved them of opportunities. A rock solid Roos’ defensive unit held firm more often than not when the ball did enter its zone.

A Lance Franklin goal cut the Roos’ lead to just 11 points in the first minute of the last quarter, but the Kangaroos weren’t to be denied and thoroughly deserved to progress.

Daniel Wells led the Roos with 28 possessions, Brady Rawlings was superb with 27 touches while restricting Luke Hodge to just eight, and Brent Harvey and Aaron Edwards booted four goals each.

Edwards was the early dangerman for the Roos with his side’s first two goals of the match. It should really have been three majors, but the high-flying Roo failed to convert after he took a towering mark over teammate Drew Petrie and Stephen Gilham.

Conclusion :

Hawks went into the game possibly to cocky with a physical approach and targetted numerous players rather than the ball, a number of times the Hawks players were targetting the player rather than the ball and in attempting to upset the players and get them away from the game - it back fired and worked against the Hawks and only put themselves in a vulnerable state and lead to an eventual shock loss.

AFL Drug Scandal News

Drug Scandal

Links : AFL | AFL News

THE AFL illicit drugs policy was in crisis last night as confidential medical records identifying two players who had tested positive to illegal drugs were sold to a commercial television station.

The documents contain explosive claims against two players from the same club and became the subject of a legal injunction last night, taken out by the doctor who is treating the two men.

The documents also contain claims that other players at the club regularly use drugs.

The legal action came too late to stop Channel Seven airing the allegations as part of its news bulletin. The report did not identify the players but did disclose their club, as well as details about the frequency and nature of their drug use.

The club was scrambling last night to try to learn the names of the players from the AFL, damaged by the public leak of information that senior club officials were not entitled to be told.

Under the AFL's controversial three-strikes illicit drug policy, clubs cannot be told of a player's drug use until he has returned a third positive test. That system — attacked by the Federal Government as too lenient in recent months — was in crisis last night.

The documents, which were paid for by Channel Seven, appear to be medical records of two players, referred to Ivanhoe's Victorian Addiction Centre by the clubs.

Under the three-strikes policy, after the second positive test, a club doctor is told.

Conclusion :

Leave the players and their private lives alone, we have no rights to their private lives and what they do in their spare time is up to them, as long as they're not taking performance enhancing drugs it shouldn't be a matter of public debate or released to the public.

If they were a musician it would be acceptable and laughed upon like Britney, Nicole Richie etc.

What about the injections during games, the pain killer shots ? aren't these a enhancing drug ? what about Brisbane's reign of premierships typically the Grandfinals against Collingwood where numerous players felt the force of many hard hits only to get injections so they would no longer feel the pain and or impact of the hard hitting game, these should be ruled out shouldn't they ? after all they are performance enhancing in effect. Compared to party drugs that don't produce in game brilliance but actually the opposite effect.

Thirteen years after his headline grabbing arrest following the murders of his wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman, OJ Simpson is in serious trouble with the law again, this time in connection with an armed robbery.

Police today arrested Simpson, saying he was part of an armed group who burst into a Las Vegas hotel room and snatched memorabilia that documented his own sports career.

The former US football star was taken away from the Palms Casino Hotel by plainclothes officers a day after the arrest of a friend who police say accompanied him with a gun in the hold-up on Thursday night.

Handcuffed and wearing a golf shirt and jeans, Simpson was put in a police vehicle.

Las Vegas police gave further details of the arrest at a press conference this afternoon.

Simpson is charged with two counts of robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon, and four other charges

A judge ordered Simpson held without bail.

If convicted of the charges, Simpson could face up to 30 years in prison on each robbery count alone.

60-year-old Simpson has said he and other people were retrieving items that belonged to him.

Brisbane Close to Beating a Battered Collingwood.

Brisbane go down to brave Collingwood, The Pies Looked gone as Brisbane took the lead in the Third Quarter, Brisbane kept the Pies goal less for more than 30 minutes before the pies turned on a burst of 5 goals late in the game to snatch back the lead and to eventually win by 26 points, the Magpies were brave as they lost Swan, Maxwell, Caracella and Fraser was not fit, Buckley lead the way with 6 goals.

What the Coaches Said :

Leigh Matthews Said : “It was a great challenge to see how they came up – we didn’t come up great, we were a bit stilted with our ball movement and were a bit scared to move the ball too quickly, but when we did we looked likely to score the most,” Matthews said. “The tension sometimes stops you doing that, so I hope it was a good learning experience for our guys.“We’re feeling disappointed and dejected – we gave ourselves a chance there for a while.“But I’m proud too ¬- there were a lot of good things about our group. Given where we are right at the moment it makes you think this group of players that are going to represent us in the next few years can be okay.”

Leigh Matthews 400th - Brisbane Lions loose - AFL Blog

It wasn't a memorable way to celebrate a fantastic achievement for legendary Brisbane Lions coach Leigh Matthews on Saturday night.

Matthews became only the 12th coach in AFL history to reach the illustrious milestone of coaching 400 games, and he was able to find some positive aspects to take out of the 18.14 (122) to 9.9 (63) loss to premiership leader West Coast at Subiaco Oval.

The Lions were patient with the ball in their hands in the first quarter, and continued to show the same composure when chipping the ball around the back half until finding a way forward in the second term.

Judd played a hand in an early Eagles goal in the second term, and the danger signs were flashing when the home side went 22 points clear after Brent Staker and Quentin Lynch both marked strongly in the one passage of play.

With Notting beating regular thorn Embley, the Lions enjoyed a dominant 18-minute period and trailed 7.3-7.6 with two minutes to go before halftime.

Judd then put the game out of the Lions reach in the opening 15 minutes of the third term, kicking two goals and having a hand in two others.

When Ash McGrath nailed a set shot from 50m, it broke a 37-minute goal drought for the visitors, and they had to wait another 22 minutes before posting their second goal of the half midway through the final term.
