Jake Carlisle links drug use with Essendon supplements trauma

[Spongebob]

Oh my!! Trauma of drug program led to illicit drug use.


Lawyers behind suspended former Bomber Jake Carlisle have linked the player's off-season drug use with the trauma of his last three years at Essendon.

Carlisle's looming compensation claim comes amidst an avalanche of various legal actions facing the club from the 34 banned past and present players who have now split into various groups.

Fairfax Media has found divisions emerging between various factions, with many players and their managers becoming increasingly disenchanted with the AFL Players Association and the league itself.

Almost certainly complete rubbish but worth a shot i guess.

Probably, but proving he did not take illicit drugs before this occurred may be difficult...

The AFL may come to regret their largely ineffective recreational drugs policy..

 

[compact72]

******* LOL

this gets better by the day

 

[sobraz]

Since being at St.kilda Jake has not done any recreational drugs.

So what he is saying makes sense.

I support Jake wholeheartedly on this and hope he wins the case and then comes back next year and wins the AFL CHB of the year for the Saints.

"Kelly's players are being represented by Howard Rapke of Holding Redlich while another influential player manager, Paul Connors, has on behalf of his players engaged Patrick Gordon of Slater and Gordon. Both legal teams have met Campbell who has not yet held talks with Pollard."

and

"That is one source of disenchantment towards the players' union which has also lost the full confidence of some managers after advising that the 34 players were highly unlikely to be found guilty of taking banned substances and even if they were would only receive a suspension of a number of weeks."

Well I guess than Paul Conners is not one of those who is disenchanted with the AFLPA if he went and hired one of the lawyers that the AFLPA also used.. See a potential for conflict of interest here....

Don't get too carried away. While they may be sticking it to Essendon, they are still painting the players as poor misguided and trusting beings.

Very true, but should they rename it to Thighmoisten?

 

[Muggs]

Considering they now after civil damages makes sense for the players to play up this angle.

After defending the players along these lines for three years going to be hard for EFC to do an about face and go back on their previous comments and lay even some of the blame at the players.

Jake snorts coke for the same reason 80% of AFL footballers do.

He ******* loves the s**t.

[DapperJong]

They do herion.

 

[BF Tiger]

They do herion.

No speedballers?

 

[The 747]

Onya Jakey. Didn't that coke snorting episode cost him a fair bit of cash via reduced contract? Might as well go EFC for that too.....

 

[The 747]

It's also taken three plus years for them to work out the AFLPA doesn't have their best interests at heart....

 

[Oraaaaazio]

Oh Jake.........
