Nope we are not, but we are cleaner than that club in Melbourne at least. We have less users I know of ours than I know of theirs at least. That's a start! :thumbsu:
We'll never be totally clean, just hopefully it doesn't get out of control again. No club will ever be totally clean.

What would be the point? I know certain things...as do others.
But letting it get around or posting on this board will never be positive and only exposes you and the board to legal action and moderator discipline
surely as a mod you know this...

Does everyone agree starting from next year,doesn't matter what club or how good the player it is after 1 Strike your out,no 3 Strikes. I feel 1 strike o.k you stuffed up,we give your a chance,**** up again your gone.The AFL is to weak.

Who do you think they are?

I don't think any club is clean. The sad fact of the matter is these young men have a great deal of free time and add to the huge salaries. Also most high level sports love adrenalin so maybe they think drugs are the next step for new kicks.

the club is not informed to take action after 1 strike

Caroline is the gossip queen. Speculating is pointless
no club is truely clean, it's a lot like the war on drugs as a whole, you keep fighting it but I don't think you'll ever beat it. There is no way you can get 40 odd guys aged 18-35 with massive disposable salaries and expect none of them to take drugs on their annual leave, it'd be great if they didn't but it'll never happen IMO.

The legendary 'War on Drugs', instituted by President Regan resulted only in making a lot of drug producers and suppliers enormously richer. And making a lot of B-Grade actors careers out of crap. Sympathy thing ?
Likewise the 'War on Terror'. Opium output in Afghanistan is peaking, and the Taliban are gaining lost ground.
Morons that gasbag on about 'zero-tolerance' don't have a clue.

Even without the massive disposable salary, "18-35 yr olds" are still going to do this sort of thing.
Put it down to inevitable wastage, which is what society has to do, and has always done. Some people are going to screw-up.
C'est La Vie. Such is Life. Life's a Shit-Sandwich.
Move on, but out of respect, try not to trample over the bodies.

I guess that club would be Carlton now......:D

Mandatory Naltrexone injections for all AFL players ?? every second person on the street is taking something these days so to expect AFL players to be some kind of shining light of abstanance is asking a bit much.

do you understand that the players you are referring to were tested under the ALF policy and their subsequent medical treatment was the consequence of the prescribed policy. The fact they have remained anonymous is due the the confidential nature of medical records. What would your reaction be to Cousin's medical records from the USA rehab centre being sold to the Austalian media. The legal injunction taken out to prohibit pulication of the records was taken out by the Director of the Rehab Clinic.
Take a deep breath and think about this.
If Cousins had been tested and found positive under the current AFL policy his situation may not have plumbed to the depths it has.
