No-Doze Caffeine Pills and the 2004 streak
Were they related? In fact was our game crushing intensity of 04 partly driven by the consumption of these pills?
Lets get on the nodoze again!

Serious allegation that should be backed up by evidence, or withdrawn Brownie.brown-coat wrote:Were they related? In fact was our game crushing intensity of 04 partly driven by the consumption of these pills?

from memory players from our club did admit to using them but found that though they started very well it tended to slow them down later in the game.
btw caffeine is a legal drug in the AFL

There are 2 types of no doze, the one i have taken before doesn't crush into a brown colour though. I doubt it was crushed up no doze or something.ben_fff wrote:Haha, I remember seeing that footage of Roo eating that brown mush which I assume was crushed no doze, coffee and a heap of other things.

if you read through my whole comment you might notice I mentioned coffee, coffee is brown, for some reason people feel the need to read 3/4 of my posts then correct me when what the answer they want is in the remainder of what I have typed.Saint Corin wrote:There are 2 types of no doze, the one i have taken before doesn't crush into a brown colour though.

I think that what we are talking about here is that caffine/coffee liquid paste stuff. Players were taking it in 2004 and I think are still taking it. It should also be noted that this product has been cleared by the AFL. Dr. Peter Larkins even featured it (with saints players) last year on Ch 9.
Old news really !!

Story I've heard is that in that Brisbane round one game a few years back when Roo was attacked by Mal Michael etc...more than half our players went nuts on the no-doz pre-game, buzzed around for the first half, then completely fell flat as the Lions ran away in the second half.

Yeah, I'd double check that story.B W and R all over wrote:Story I've heard is that in that Brisbane round one game a few years back when Roo was attacked by Mal Michael etc...more than half our players went nuts on the no-doz pre-game, buzzed around for the first half, then completely fell flat as the Lions ran away in the second half.
We struggled in the first half and made a big run at them in the third term, with Hamill leading the charge.
Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.
