That yahoo poster couldn't be more wrong, surely. Him? No way in hell, last person you'd think of.

Anyway on "the" Adelaide player, you have to question it.
Carrying around a tackle box full of amphetimines or LSD could get you done for serious time, its quite silly.
The Source is not exactly reliable either.
With contacts "the" Adelaide players would have and there cash flow it dosnt make sense why they would have a bulk supply either.
But hey Lawrence Angwin is the most reliable witness the country knows, so who I am I to question.

Laurence Angwin AND an ex coach.
Burrying your head in the sand won't make the problem go away. Its a problem and there is truth to the article. Now what is the club going to do about it?!

IIf you are not sure - its been published (again) in todays paper: http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,21378683%5E20322,00.html - players name Chad Fletcher. (I assume I can list the name since the paper has released it)

Robert Walls has even acknowledged it. He mentioned as a coach for one club he had the doctor come in and have some concerns over a player and his state during and after games, Walls conceded he did nothing more than let the player go at the end of the season
*Walls hasnt coached for over 9 years so take that for what its worth

Yeah I also got the impression this player enjoyed running at the wee hours of the morning to avoid a few problems.
And I don’t think he is a horticulturalist
I found it extremely strange that the yahoo7 still have the name available for public viewing.
I wouldn’t have though this player would allow himself to get messed up in that sort of environment, especially with such an influential parent.
He didn’t name any names last night on 5AA (don’t blame him either)

Yes there was a nice alliteration of subjects happening as they spoke.
If true the boy has a bigger problem than the one he admitted

Oh yes it was almost head scratching as to why he said what he did

I aint burying my head in the sand, I am just questioning the statement made and how silly it appears.
Drugs are used by all sections of the community and in particular the age group that plays AFL.
The world over is full of sports stars and celebrities getting off there head on all sorts.
But that statement was a throw away line IMO.
Just down the road we got a guy caught using, probability tells us someone from us has been very lucky not to get caught.
Can you give us a brief summary of what he kind of said (I know it was a few days ago so I don’t expect a word for word report)

Might pass it to the mods and see what they say. It was fairly blatant imo , but think about the last line of my post

I imagine if you dont name him, but essentially just repeat what was said you should be OK ... but may be better to be safe than sorry.

It's disappointing (but sadly not surprising) to hear it's happening at our club but I guess it's better to face the facts than live in a dream world about the issue.
