I think you have to be pretty ******* dumb to get involved with drug dealing after having a highly successful career in the AFL.
Highly unlikely he is short for cash.
Or maybe just addiction?
Apparently it can lead to stupid choices. Groundbreaking stuff I know.
People love to say footballers are intelligent people but they actually rarely are. Lots of people are book smart but absolute idiots, however ol Bomber has never seemed an intellect at any level. He should be someone who thanks his stars he's made what he has through a sport but look what he's implicated in.
Of course Victorians worship Whitten but it's not hard to see he was just a foul, grumpy old prick. His greatest quotes are even acidic. Some of the stories about him are appalling.
Who said he’s intelligent based on his football?
Look at what he’s done at Geelong - if you think you can be a successful senior coach in modern professional sport, managing 50 athletes and half a dozen coaches, while being “dumb” then you probably need to re-align your definition of “dumb” - start by looking in the mirror, maybe.
Not sure what Whitten has to do with anything. I’ve lived in Victoria and followed footy all my life and don’t know one person who worships Ted Whitten.
