[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

He's not a good enough player to be an idiot.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

you know what they say...bloody idiot

 

[Chief Crow]

Silly boy. Stuff like this could see him be thrown up as trade bait

 

[Sir Vlado]

*facepalm*

Oh so disappointing.

 

[BACCS]

Silly silly boy.

 

[Cap]

it's the off season right?

whilst its a stupid act, he has done it on his own time out of season

so end of story as far as i'm concerned

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Sack him, got to send that strong message this clubs is about having a strong culture.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Andrew Lovett's special night was during the off season too

Agreed. Media stick their nose too far into AFL players private lives. While it is stupid to drink drive, its still his personal life

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Stupid , but this happens every day , it's only because he plays footy that it's getting media coverage. Would like to see how much over the limit he was , wouldn't be surprised if it's 0.00000001% over.

4 times over. Most people pass out at that point.

 

[Gets!]

Stupid thing to do, but we have all done stupid stuff before.

Over .2 apparently........almost comatose.

Auditioning to become the next Stiffy?

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Idiot.

Glad he didn't kill anyone's family members...inevitably it seems if a drunk causes a crash, the innocent's are the ones who come off worst.

Hard to have sympathy for these guys who simply haven't got the maturity to handle the money/adulation and grasp the amazing opportunity they've been given.

Having got my sanctimony out, would i sack him? No, especially if this is his first major off-field stuff up. Could be a huge wake up call. Let's see the club say he was a bloody idiot but try to help him mature through it, and turn up to PS training fit and firing to prove he is 100% determined to make it as an AFL player

Drunks are heavily sedated, often surviving the shock that kills sober people.
It hardly would have anything to do with prestige as a guy that cannot get a game in a skeleton crew, perhaps he's had a blowout after finding out delistments or trading is on the cards.
He is probably a lightweight.

pretty naive view mate, he was allegedly legless.

terrible thing to do on his behalf and I hope it doesnt cost him his career.

 

[WALL-e]

This.

For a guy who's not an auto 22 selection, this stuff makes for a bad look. Not condoning this behavior from stars, but you put up with more from different people.

On a knife edge I imagine.

where is the story that he did anything other than DUI?

 

[Dirty Bird]

That was my first reaction too

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

channel 10 news flash said a crow had blown over 4x the legal limit

 

[Cap]

yes, but this talk is about crashes and killing people ffs

Young Crow Tony Armstrong says the suspensions of Bernie Vince, Graham Johncock and rookie Matthew Jaensch are proof Adelaide has the right club culture.

he'll be regretting that comment

 

[aneale]

yes, but this talk is about crashes and killing people ffs

If he blew over .2 as about 3 separate news agencies have now claimed it was a miracle he didn't.

Should be sacked, he's not that important. That's not just having a few beers and acting like a w***er.

 

[SydCrow]

off season, junior player, who cares?

let the courts look after him

AFC is not a boarding school
