News Crouch & Stengle Caught with Illicit Substance

[dude316]

Can we get one of those '0 days since last fu**-up' signs for the club?

 

[Redleg Crow]

I think might be different because it's a police thing rather than them failing an official and what would be a confidential drug test.

Yep - saw the news article mentioning police straight after posting that

 

[dani_giuls]

Ok...

who here hasnt done a few lines of columbian dancing powder on a night out before?..

come on.. put your hands up..

neary all of us have done it so we can hardly jump up on our high horses and ride to the nearest glass house with a handfull of rocks can we..

Cops probably laughed at em, confiscated it and said “here lads, sorry, you’ll have to go do a course to ‘show you a cleaner way to live’”..

faaaark me.. just legalise the fu**in stuff already.. how much money is wasted policing it? and how much instead could our governments make in taxes if they instead made it legal..

Criminalisation of a few party drugs is the single dumbest policy position a government can take.. arsebackward, conservative, namby pamby bullshit.

and before all the do gooders start ranting about it killing people...

well so does Alcohol and Tobacco.. and its only because its cut by grubby tossers with all sorts of nasty chemicals looking to make a bigger profit that it becomes really toxic.. take the selling of it away from them and into a government regulated system and it will be much safer than Alcohol.

and you’d destroy the Bikie and crime gangs income overnight.

Me! Never, just don't have any interest in the stuff, have never had any interest in it. But then I suffer from anxiety and one of my main fears is the inability to have control over myself so maybe that is is? A lot of my friends never touched the stuff either.

Have also never been drunk, growing up with an alcoholic in the family kind of puts you off. Also had a family member die of lung cancer, so never touched a cigarette.

Yep, I know I am one of the only ones, and probably considered to be a bit of a nerd (but hey, no one can say I am easily led!) but I am fine with that, I am also not naive enough to think no one else is out there taking this stuff. The thing is, when you have such a high profile, why would you risk it? Is it because usually these guys would be overseas where they are less likely to get caught? In a lot of jobs, you get caught with drugs OR even alcohol in your system and its back on the bus (to use a mining term).

We have to! The clubs image can't keep taking hits. The club has to care about itself or how do we expect the players to care about the club and jumper moving forward.

2 guys with party drugs, no impact on the club except other clubs saying to themselves, there but for the grace of go, go I. Nobody in the industry cares, they know most players are doing the same.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

BTW I've never done coke. I've been sh*t faced plenty of times but in the correct and safe way of consuming copious amounts of alcohol.

Your words say that but your avatar says "I like drugs".

Why would we sack Stengle?

That's just punishing ourselves for his idiocy.

Adelaide players Brad Crouch and Tyson Stengle have allegedly been caught with illicit drugs and face fines and possible suspension from the AFL.

Crouch and Stengle were stopped and searched by police early Monday morning in inner Adelaide.

Police won't charge the pair but have referred them to counselling, the Crows say.

But Crouch, a newly-turned free agent weighing offers to join rival clubs, and Stengle, who the Crows banned earlier in the year for drink-driving, face certain sanctions from their club and the league.

So they got pulled up early Monday morning. Yep, everyone else is asleep getting ready for the working week and we have dumbass footballers out and about. Now there is nothing wrong with that however the odds of getting pulled up by the cops increases substantially.

Now think about it - a cop car sees a car travelling down the road so they do a check of the number plate (I’m assuming Tyson was driving) and bingo! Pull them over.

Not one good thing in life ever happens "early Monday morning".

Jack Watts has his swimmers on and is ready to join the pool party... as long as there is **** too..

Is there any mention of related driving offences?

 

[Murray2503]

100% if they were referred to counselling they would have had a bag of coke on them. Yes they are all on it... yes there are players all over that love the nose candy... fools got caught... obviously out on mad monday... and the police obviously suspected they were carrying some baking powder... my opinion of course...

Cops probably Powaa supporters.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Why were they stopped by police?

 

[StonesThrow]

The amount of hypocrisy in this thread would fill Adelaide Ovals more than once.

Always looking for new ways to fill a stadium

Stengle prefers to have shorter seasons or late start to seasons....

 

[Drewie11]

FFS overreacting much. It’s their off season, they just got caught.

Hopefully Brad stays now

 

[Redleg Crow]

Standards seem to be a lot easier to demand when it involves another club...

I don't remember this board being over the top with the hundred other drug infractions all over the AFL. When it's mid-season, and if its PEDs, then yes. But I think you'll find this response is consistent with other infractions.

 

[jenny61_99]

So.... they’ve been caught with “illicit substance”, but not charged and have to attend an “education” session? WTF? Is it illicit or not?

 

[ams4crows]

Was at Melbourne club one night and the Blues lads were in and out of the toilet cubicles like a revolving door.

Happens at every footy club, just don't get effing caught.

JZ leads a drug gang at North, to the point where if you weren't apart of it you wouldn't be selected in the side

Every single club has players that use, it's what 20 something males making big coin do.

The AFL has a serious drug issue that no one wants to talk about.

 

[FR0GGY]

Why were they stopped by police?

Maybe they though stengle shouldn’t be driving that sort of car?



Mod note: this is not FR0GGY being surprisingly racist, it’s a clever call back to the story about Betts from a few weeks ago where one of the cops said this to him after he got a car for Mark of the year.

Wiggleless

 

[thebirdman 24]

Stengle you silly boy. Not good enough especially after the drink driving.

You'd think Brad would know better being a senior player. Get out.

If its personal use and a small amount, it goes to a drug diversion meeting.
