Rumour 12 Sydney Swans players self-reported for illicit drug use after the 2012 flag

[StevenwellerHFC]

If these clowns want to cook the few braincells they have while chasing a ball around into their 30s I'll have no sympathy for them if they can't fit into society after they retire.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I guess the AFL is happy to tolerate drug use when it's not made public then, a la the injunction premiership club also.

Hypocrites.

Yet another fool who has no idea what the injunction was all about

 

[Darkyprotector]

Collingwood won a flag in 2010 and swearing by the 'benefits' of going annually to Colorado for high altitude training. Then, despite their success, they suddenly halted that yearly pilgrimage where men came back muscled up (cue the famous Buckley photo). Daddy: " why did they stop if it was so successful?" Dunno son, maybe they just ran out of money.

You're a fool

 

[HairyO]

Why havent they been stripped of the flag yet ??

Why havent they been stripped of the flag yet ??

Maybe they have an injunction in place

Fake news.

I'd be staggered if there was at least one club with fewer than half the playing list dabbling in some sort of 'recreational' drug from time to time.

Who thought BigFooty could be so educational?

I've suddenly got the urge to play an old school computer game

If you were at a certain night club that night you'd know this isn't news

Tainted but we won't hear about it because Sydney isn't a West Australian club

Nobody has a vendetta against WA clubs. I can categorically state nobody has ever questioned a Fremantle flag as tainted. Theres your proof.

That's the very reason Buddy was interested in Sydney after 2012 final.

Disagree. Not all clubs are that cool. I know for a fact there was only about 5 or 6 kids in my U14s team that were into it.

 

[Ambrosia]

This s**t just isn't news. Anyone who has been anywhere near AFL players know it's the minority who don't use recreational substances.

 

[Vikingblood]

Pansies, you haven't partied hard enough if you haven't flatlined.

Or as it's know on the Vegas Strip....'Doin' a Fletcher'

 

[master bate]

The only question is what the hell were the other 10 doing?

 

[SterlingArcher]

Bullshit.....it may have improved but totally new is a fantasy.
Taking recreational drugs is the done thing for a large number of AFL players, particularly in the off-season.
They are young, fit, seemingly bulletproof & have high disposable income.
IE; the demographic that smash recreational drugs.
FACT - A number of Westcoast players were openly doing lines of coke whilst celebrating at The Emerson after this years Grand Final.

Yeah but 'taking recreational drugs, particularly in the off-season' is a massive change to what Cousins, Kerr and Gardiner got up to. Massive. I'd say it'd be close to totally new.

"While the video has done considerable damage to Mumford’s reputation,"

Did lol at this. In what way? The occasional mum who half follows the football because her kids do now doesn't like the Mummy guy. Cool.

 

[Carl Spackler]

Where does he get his information about 12 Swans players self-reporting from?

The AFL probably turns a blind eye to recreational use of things like cannabis and cocaine etc, it's probably wide spread in the competition, anyway. I don't think they're considered performance enhancing even though they're probably on the banned substance list.

What’s a non-recreational use of cannibis or cocaine?

 

[GreyCrow]

What’s a non-recreational use of cannibis or cocaine?

Medical cannabis

Drugs Are Bad Mackay? brother or imposter?

Imposter

Or perhaps just a fan of my previous work

 

[Carl Spackler]

Medical cannabis

So, taken in context that means the AFL is fine with recreational use but has an issue with medical use? Rhetorical logic. A challenge in Adelaide.

Well researched comment. We never went to Colorado. Buckley has always been ripped.

It stopped because we got an altitude room, also the footy spending cap killed it.

Some fitness people question altitude trainings long term benefits, especially for football. The gains disappear once you return to Melbourne at ocean level. So it’s essentially an expensive club bonding trip.
