Re: Tom Liberatore
Libba jnr must be finding it very hard being out of the game for a year. If he has made a mistake, I can understand, no need to take him to the cleaners, just move forward from here.
Officially on the Bus-wagon

I don't think being out for the year is an excuse. I know everyone is different but he needs to take a leaf out of Clay Smith's book. I don't think he should be taken to the cleaners but this seems a bit bigger than simply another mistake.
I think both Libba and, more broadly the AFL, have a fairly serious problem.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Yep. AFL players don't live in isolation.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

That's true. They can't plead ignorance.

So does the military, however…

Re: Tom Liberatore
I was talking to the greengrocer today and his nephew is a first year West Coast player. They have put strict controls on players and regularly take urine samples. After every training session, all players are tested.
I wonder what tests we have on players.

That's the difference between a wealthy club and a club like ours. I'd suggest we'd be doing the statutory amount, considering they'd cost thousands per session to perform.

Government aside, I think society realizes it has a problem. The AFL have been completely blindsided by recent revelations, staggering. Either that or they've had their heads in the sand since Ben Cousins.

We've been taking the piss for a long time.

Pretty much everybody's dad says that about their kids though. I don't with my kids of course, but my dad was always going on about the topic of lazy kids!

Re: Tom Liberatore
I imagine Libba senior would be a pretty hard judge too!!!
