3 players retired by the AFL, due to addiction

[Strapping Young Lad]

Interesting tweet by Mark Stevens stating that Harcourt also mentioned that the AFL retired 3 players due to addiction to illicit substances.

No surprise really, but it's interesting that the AFL have gotten involved in this way.

It's probably best for everyone that they are quietly shown the door.

Spike and his vitamin problem?

Didn't the Weagles retire a certain player at their 2007 awards night without his prior knowledge?

 

[drummond2fevola]

Farmer?

 

[the_interloper]

Maxwell?

How does the AFL 'retire' somebody? Sounds like a mafia hit

If they try to retire someone who doesn't want to retire what happens then

Who? Only player that retired that year was Rowan Jones.

Rowan Jones was a champion. But he was not the only player that played his last game for the Eagles in 2007.

If you click on the link... you can see that

Ben Cousins, Rowan Jones, Chris Judd, Daniel Chick and Mitch Morton all played their final games for the Eagles in 2007.

I posted the link in response to 'Da Wiz' above who said this:

I'm not agreeing with that poster as I don't know whether it's true or not. But those players above are the ones who no longer played for the Eagles after their 2007 awards night.

And if the ?????? response was directed at me calling Rowan Jones a champion, well here ya go..

'West Coast Coach John Worsfold had high praise for the retiring Jones stating - "He's a life member of the football club, he's been vice-captain of the football club, he's the best clubman, he's a premiership player – that puts him in the top echelon of players who have ever worn the Eagles jumper,"'

Sorry I was not having a go at you.... simply wondering if the aforementioned person is someone with only four fingers (actually 3 fingers and a thumb)?

Wasn't that Richmond who retired a few blokes but they hadn't been told yet and they only found out when the captain thanked them for their service in his B & F speech/

Didn't that also happen to the Saints a few years ago?

Difference btwn retirement and "moving on"

The only one of that group not including Jones who didn't get a gig elsewhere was Chick....who was subsequently charged with possession ( or was it dealing? ) some time later.....
