Jordon de Bloey

[Back One Out]

COLLINGWOOD says it believes Jordan De Goey did not knowingly drink drive and will seek to give the chastened youngster a second chance in the AFL.

They said contaminated illicit drugs was the likely explanation.

De Goey had been at the St Kilda Festival on February 9 with friends including other footballers.

“While I am unable to be absolutely certain as to how this substance came to be in my system, I can only assume it occurred during a night out prior to driving, on which I took illicit drugs,” De Goey, 22, said.

“Although I can’t be sure, I believe the substance I took was laced with alcohol. I want to stress that at no stage did I knowingly take alcohol.

“I acknowledge I made a serious error in judgment. I want to make it absolutely clear that I have never intentionally been drink-driving”

Pies chief Eddie McGuire made reference to the club song, saying that “side by side we stick together”.

“We accept that Jordan did not intentionally go drink driving and did not knowingly consume alcohol,” McGuire said.

“We accept that this was a case of a young man who made a poor decision to consume illicit drugs."

“We also believe the best thing that we can provide for him is light at the end of the tunnel – to rekindle his football career.”

Be better.

Too bad

LOL Collingwood's too gutless to suspend him for any matches, instead he'll "raise his standards" and be in their round 1 team. I thought Bucks did that massive cleanout of Didak & co. to improve their kulcha? Yet here they go soft on another ratbag purely because he has talent.

Collingwood have made no decision yet.

Hawthorn, however, are proven to be 'gutless' club. No suspension was given.

Excuses
- He's a good bloke
- 'So out of character for Hodgey'
- Has credit points with the club
- Is an older player of the club

LOL

All of this despite conceding it was a 'pretty significant error of judgment'

Excuses from Hawthorn, and no accountability.

Gutless.

To be fair hawthorn is a top 4 club.
Maybe with a change of coach and a decade of hard work collingwood can become a top ten club and get cut some slack by the critics.

God him, Cam McCarty and bennel are about as interesting as talking local high school football.

None of them will make it to 200 games. We should focus on the players that will.

Ladder position should dictate punishments for drink driving? Terrible stance VP.

JDG should be suspended for weeks, as Hodge should have been.

The message was clear from Hawthorn. Football > drink-driving. Disgraceful.

To be fair, if this was Pendlebury Collingwood would have done the same thing. Very easy to make an example out of the Jordan DeGoeys of the world.

Pi$$ off Hodge was 1/8 of a shandy over not double the limit!

Let's not blame Jordy he probably had arranged for his dog to drive him home, and he didn't show!

.05 is the limit. Both broke the law. IDGAF what whether it's .051 or .1 or more.

If you've experienced what I have, you would have zero tolerance to any drink drivers.

If it was Pendles I would call for him to stand down from the captaincy, and be suspended as well.

I have zero tolerance for drink driving.

EDIT: I agree with your point.

Agree, these f***** morons will spend 2-$300 hundred dollars on a big night out, but wont spend $20 on a taxi. Selfish pricks. Complete zero tolerence.
