He has severe carpet burn on his knees.

I think close to about half a dozen. Hunter, Gardener, Cousins, Chick, Kerr and I'm sure a few others.
Club has worked really hard to change the culture and I think its shaken all the bad apples from the tree and is really healthy at the moment.

Don't think Hunter and Gardiner were necessarily Crystal meth addicts, the liked to party but they were not in the league of the others named.

Both have been gainfully employed for a number of years and Gardy has been out of the press for a long time and Hunter got caught with a few pills a number of years back but never ended up getting charged. Bit different to the struggles the other 4 are dealing with.

Further evidence that illicit drugs are not performance enhancing.

I love how nobody talks about all of the guys that have left that club during that period that haven't had any drug issues at all.

Let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story though!

Apparently the key enforcer of weagles drug rules (ie you need to take them) was victorian

it raises an interesting question about whether draftees should have the ability to deny being chosen by particular clubs. You could mount a very good case why kids or their parents wouldnt want to be going to clubs with serious cultural or management issues that could impact them. Good examples would be whether players could have refused to go to west coast or essendon in the immediate few years after their drug issues became public knowledge.

I'd be leaving the soap on the floor if he's sharp enough

 

[Aussie in exile]

Is his nickname sharpie?

It certainly wouldn't apply to his brain if he one.

You raise a good point. Interesting to see that he developed his addiction to ice after playing at Werribee, so you would have to add Richmond to that list.

thats not at all what the article says but go on ignoring the problems your club had at the time

 

[SterlingArcher]

If we're blaming the Eagles how did his brother get involved too? Don't remember Christopher Sharp being picked yet he also did the 300k armed robbery

West Coast culcha

West Coast culcha

Your lot better keep a close eye on Worsfold...and who-ever gives the injections nowadays.

" If you don't take drugs you are out"
What complete and utter horseshit.
The crap some crims come up with to claim mitigating circumstances is hilarious, but I guess you'll pretty much say anything if you thought it would shave a year or 2 off the sentence. I wonder if his brother blamed WC by extension.
