The Sports Desk / Re: Stuart O'Grady retires then admits to doping
Quote from: Mantis on
Its not a great way to end a career at all. Its a shame such as respected Australian cyclist has stained his reputation. I was always under an illusion that Australian athletes in cycling were clean and followed rules. I guess I was mistaken as the sport, sponsors and money involved have made the sport come to the lowest of lows in the last dozen years or so. There is hope the sport will recover, and there is a chance this problem of doping/substance use will be eliminated once and for all.

It still gets me how Lance Armstrong got away with his issues for so many years. How he lied. How he went out on a path to destroy the lives and careers of those who accused him of wrong doing. Still love cycling as a sport. It will take more than what I have seen in the media over the years to stop enjoying cycling. Its just a shame that people don't understand that "Cheats never prosper" in the end. Short term yes, but not long term. ???

Watson certainly has to stake his claim today to his spot in the team. With a good performance he could begin to convince the powers that be that he is one serious solution to our key defender needs. Convincing people on here will be a lot harder for him of course.  ;D Go Watto!
Fair point Cookie and really, he is going up against blokes with similar maturity. Good luck to the young fella, we need it to take a trick sooner or later.

Carrots will miss this week so that one in.

Why??
Sniped someone in the middle of the ground off the ball, cant remember who but it was dumb (as usual) an he will go for one at least.

Roughead got off for a similar thing against the blues a few weeks back.

insufficient force

For me, Port winning last night effectively ended our chances of making the 8 when you look at our run home versus theirs (see my post in AFL 2013 Season thread). I say leave Watson there to see what he has, then make a decision on him at the end of the year. Waite to sit out the rest of the year then retire gracefully. Menzel and Graham need to play ones. Carrots will miss this week so that one in. Scotland to the NBs for the rest of the year frees up the other spot, retire gracefully also. Whilst Robbo was good yesterday, he is still a butcher and I would prefer to see what the aforementioned two bring to the table for the rest of the year.  My thoughts only, probably FOS but I cant think of anything better.
