Do many clubs have complete bans on alcohol during the season?

 

[Millky95]

been a s**t season for the Gold Coast. Doesn't look to be getting any better

 

[Belnakor]

Rocket obviously putting his stamp on the club. Very interesting and potentially tells us a bit more around why bluey was sacked.

 

[CatFan79]

cocaine obviously too risky now

Given the clubs injury risk, and the known effect that alcohol has on recovery, I don't think it's an unreasonable request.

Good on the Suns. They kept their integrity even when the chips are down. That's a sign of a good club.

 

[Banker]

Werent these guys caught drinking before?

How did the club find out? They could easily drink once they reach home from recovery.

I can almost guarantee if they had a couple of wins the clubs stance would have been different. They have pretty much conceded they wont be playing finals this year.

Queensland footy in the midst of a real golden age.

Be interesting what Brisbane do now to win back the 'most in trouble Queensland AFL team' award. Captivating stuff right now.

 

[ajdude]

your turn Brisbane.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

We'll take Bennell if you don't want him Gold Coast.

 

[pazza]

Sounds like the boys decided to get on the juice after a big win and forgot to set their alarm clocks.

 

[Ian Dunross]

What the &$#% was McKenna doing up there?

At least the Sheedy/Williams combo had some experience (even if they were both past it/ clinically mad).

If the AFL had their time again I reckon they'd have spent more time putting decent people in place at Metricon.

How quickly you forget.
Stokes was caught no Suns have been.

He couldn't handle the work load at a good club.
Has all the talent in the world but is lazy.

 

[pjcrows]

Suns won't have Bennell, McKenzie, Matera, May, Martin, Tape, Garlett, Day, Malceski, Swallow, O'Meara or Ablett.

That's mental.

 

[Commissioner Gordon]

good news for us!

 

[jesterwester]

good news for us!

If you win, that is.

 

[piesaregreat]

Dont have a problem with this, it was agreed by the players, they got caught and now cop the punishment.
Would take Bennell and Matera in a flash

No, do you have a sense of humour?

This.

Eade has said on numerous occasions that the culture he arrived at was simply not good enough. Malceski has also talked about how he was shocked at how low the training standard was compared to Sydney. Under Bluey, as long as you were one of his favourites you'd get a game no matter how you train/perform. Who knows what else was happening behind closed doors.

But apparently sacking McKenna was a huge mistake.

Might be able to bust Green at Maccas pregame...will that do

How could someone like Ablett let the training standards get so low?

is it that hard for elite sportsmen to not drink alcohol? smdh.
