This link details what is going on. Basically one of the ex-Essendon players (who has a rep for being lazy) reckons they were made to dope. The doctor that organised this apparently did some consulting for our team too. Anyway, this has blown up into a huge story about doping all throughout Australian sport.

Here is the statement my footy Club made:

I feel like something is being taken away from me. Aussie Rules Football is the reason I can go out, it's the reason I have friends and I'm an extrovert. I don't want it to be bad.

I don't want him to be bad. I'm his fan because he works hard and does a great job yet so many people ignore his contributions (except recently when he won the Club Champion award, maybe people will sit up and NOTICE that he is a great player!). I try to be like that every day at work, even if I don't get accolades I try my best and do my best because I want to be like him. If he was doping...I don't think he is doping, none of the boys at our Club seem to, but now that this has all happened it makes you wonder. I don't want to doubt him, because I would feel bad if he was clean and I had doubted him...but if he was doping I would be devasted. The person I have tried to be so much like would be a lie. I would have to instantly pull my sponsorship of him without a doubt. I really don't know how I would cope.

I get to see him on Saturday though (Club Family Fun Day), and he'll probably say something nice to me and I'll completely forget all about this lol. He's always nice to me. Last year at the Family Fun Day was when I first told him I was his sponsor for the year, and he seemed pretty happy about that.

Thanks for listening (reading...whichever )

I feel sorry for the athletes that are following the rules in all the different codes because right now they are having their reputations dragged through the mud for something they haven't done.

I know, it's crap.

Apparently there are only 2 instances of it in the AFL (not my favourite player or team thankfully, unless you count one of our coaches who was playing for another team at the time and is currently trying to clear his name even though it was 10 years ago) but 6 in the NRL.

I feel so much better now. So much so that I started a "fan club" group on Facebook for my favourite player (would you believe there wasn't one?! So many other players from the Club get their own fan groups but not my boy!).

Get to go to Training on Thursday (long story involving another co-worker who cheats the system and the boss wanting to stamp his authority on the situation LOL. I'm glad I try to emulate my favourite player, I end up looking really good) and there's a dinner I'm going to on Friday for the team (taking my bestie, whose boyfried uncerimoniously dumped her) so hopefully we can have a chat (didn't have much time to talk on Saturday, although he did sign my brand-new guernsey).

Nice to hear that you feel better now and you got your favourite boy's autograph .

NAB Cup begins today. Time for some good press for the footballers.

Tonight's the night they're coming to my city too, so it'll be nice to catch up with him. I know I've said it before, but he's a love. All the boys are (my Mum's favourite signed her flag with "kisses" and stuff like that lol, even though we only asked for "To the best mum ever". She loved it).

Hopefully I can shake this headache though, it's been the week from hell for me and I think I'm entitled to a really great night to make up for it!

Sweet Pea hugs

Annnnnnnnnnnnd my favourite player is crook so he didn't come. Food poisoning

Last kick in the guts from the week from hell.

Now the cousin of one of my favourite players has come out and said he dealt drugs to 6 of our players between 2002-2009...4 players are still playing for us. Please let it be false.
