Shows aren't targeted for long runs nowadays anyway, it's all about hitting the market at the peak and slipping off with the spoils before the marks wake up.
Gavin Crosisca : Grog and drugs cost me the lot

Prior to this story I had no idea AFL players took drugs! Thanks for the news Eddie. A washed up has been of a player who was never a star has confessed all. Imagine the impact if a premiership player, multiple AA winner, ex club captain and brownlow medalist came out in his prime and admitted to being an addict!
What Essendon should be ashamed of is trying to drag the Pies back with going the knuckle and failing dismally at that too.
Eddie is no different to every other player in our pathetic excuse for a media industry - he just has a higher profile because he's also the Pres of the highest profile club in the land.
Imagine the joy of an eagles supporter at being able to deflect some of the s**t stains from his own club.

This is shocking. I really hope JVB gets a second chance.

I bet Eddie was happy it was a Collingwood player so after he gets all the sordid details out of the way he can turn his interview into a Collingwood wankfest like he usually does.

mmm I'm finding holes all through this story
"It was just out of the blue, going to a one-day cricket match at the end of 1989. Talking about Speed
It was a once off and then the next taste I had was in our Grand Final celebrations." 1990
"As my career ended I was able to move on to the drug of choice, speed. It then took over my life.????
Very convenient line that one
His career ended in 2000, so he is saying he never took Speed for the next 10 years of his playing career?
Cannibis is a downer drug, Speed is an upper which characteristics are almost the complete opposite effect.
So Crosisca wanted to be on a downer during his playing career and not have that euphoric feeling of wakefulness and induce alertness while playing?
Downers are often used after taking uppers, to reduce the anxiety/hangover which often appears after taking the uppers.
I am sorry for his addiciton, but i'm not buying the story that this was not taking place whilst he was playing.

This is the problem with expectations.
Is it a decent story? Yep - there is certainly a lot of relevant information in today's footy world.
Is it a massive, biggest story in 30 years type thing? Hardly.
Good luck to Gavin, i hope all goes well for him

Wow and here I was convinced that Ben Cousins was the very first person ever at a football club to take drugs, yet it seems it has happened before. Finally there is one other person!!!!
How could this happen in our sport??
lol

If it weren't for the WCEs and Hawthorns of the 2000s, this may have been news.
Sadly, these two clubs have ruined it for any would be addict looking for front page sympathy.

No Gavin, your careless actions and reckless lifestyle cost you the lot.

Indeed.
I presume Leigh Matthews, Tony Shaw and the Collingwood administration of the 90s will be raked over the coals for not picking up on Crosisca's personal habits?
Maybe the AFL will find Collingwood in disrepute?

Forgive us, but around 2006/07, this whole board was buried in a mass of grand hysteria, as though we were the only club ever to have a drug issue.
As I (and probably many others) said at the time, it wasn't that we were the only ones with a drug issue... it's that we were the only ones who were caught.
The years since that time have shown that by no means were we the only ones with drug issues at their club at one time or another.
ONE player?? Yeah thats certainly on a par with the toasters isn't itIndeed.

Agreed UFG its a matter of scale and perception though.
