119 certainly gets them a roasting

I'll see your roaster and raise you a tool set,

 

[ams4crows]

So what's the deal with AFL players taking recreational drugs during the off season? Does that still count towards strikes? If they declare it before hand it doesn't count as a strike, is that still a thing?

Because I just saw a video of Bailey Smith

I am just glad he has got over his fear of being interstate. I mean in his draft year it was a huge problem for him so much so his doctor provided him with a letter to show the AFL to manipulate the draft to get to his club of choice but it seems he has now beaten that ailment. He must be a strong character

If Brad Crouch and Stengle was hung drawn and quartered why isn't stud of the AFL Bailey Smith held to the same account

 

[Punchy Bassett]

You know exactly why

how do you know what, if anything more than alcohol, he is on?

you might be right, might not, but you definitely can’t prove anything

I think the video would need to show an unknown substance. Everything else would be explained as bad reaction to alcohol, dehydrated blah blah.

That he had medical reasons why he could not play for an interstate club.

 

[Sanders]

did that really happen though?

 

[GROTTO]

That he had medical reasons why he could not play for an interstate club.

That could open up Pandora's Box if this is allowed. Im actually honestly surprised it has not been used before.

Imagine the VFL outcry this year as an example if JHF stated for medical reasons that he could not play outside of SA and he "walks" to the Crows at our Pick 4.

Because he hasn't actually been 'caught'. A video of a player that 'looks like he's on something' isn't actual evidence. Crouch and Stengle were caught on video. Massive difference.

Hard to find much on it other than the large big footy thread dedicated to it.

Rumour - Bailey Smith avoids being drafted interstate by way of medical reason

Reportedly told non Victorian clubs he only wanted to stay in Victoria. And got a doctors certificate saying it would be bad for his mental health. Where’s the investigation by the AFL for draft tampering? Will Bailey forgo insterstate matches?

www.bigfooty.com

Here is some comment from foxfooty at the end of the article staring he made it clear he would not be comfortable being taken by a non-vic club - but no mention of the doctors letter. I will keep digging in my spare time!!!

Western Bulldogs young gun Bailey Smith is among the recent Victorian draftees who made it clear in interviews leading in that he would not be comfortable being taken by a non-Victorian club.

I would have been OK for Smith to be picked up by a Melbourne club, but not been able to play games outside of Melbourne.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Ah yes the good old situational and fleeting mental health issues. Good to roll out when you want things to go your way, while not impacting any other aspect of your life. So convenient, and unquestionable. How dare you question the legitimacy of someone's mental health issues?!?!!

Assuming that is true.

That said I don't really know so who am I to judge.

 

[GROTTO]

I was going to laugh at the comment, but I think its appropriate to like the comment.

Actually really agree with this, not a penalty, but at the same time there needs to be a give and take for both sides as to what is fair.

As I said before, I am surprised this has not been done before and I think moving forward it will happen.

This post is severely lacking in chill.

There’s no way anyone posting stuff like that is happy.

You'll be ok.

Players from Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs reportedly almost came to blows at a Perth nightclub just days after this year’s AFL Grand Final.

Dogs would have been no chance - 2/3 of the way through the fight they would have run out of puff and the Dees players would have been all over them and finished them off
