Scape Goat Recreational drug saga

[baldandbroke]

Do we know where the photos came from? Is it another player that took them?

Hopefully it goes the good way - and this is the kick the bloke needs to get away from this stuff ... leave the Gold Coast / leave the AFL if that is what it takes, put your health ahead of the game / club / team mates.

If it goes the wrong way - and he just spirals into depression and self loathing ... I hope he has strong people around him who can help him through it.

Because I'm guessing Harley is mates with the people who used on that trip. If you watch someone doing the same thing as you've done get thrown to the wolves would you want to stay...

The QCCC said there is no evidence to support Karmichaels claims of what happened on that golf trip. To me, that says we can leave that alone. Any further speculating will result in infractions.

The Harley picture in question now is from 2013 - It comes from a period when we knew he was having a hard and troubled time of things. Not to justify it, but it was a few years ago. A lot of things have happened since then

Good to see bennell was out there training this morning.

 

[SUNS]

Good on him!

Take whatever punishment gets thrown his way, apologise and bring some trust and respect back to the club!

Rocking up to training was probably a huge step for him today. The fact that he has taken that step shows me that he has the strength to get through this!

 

[javaguice]

Didn't Robbo and HS explicitly say "we won't name players from the report"?

Good to know a full page spread with pics doesn't compromise that!!

Didnt he have a run in with Harley @ the brownlow? Robbo would have been so happy he got these photos.... chomping at the bit or whatever the expression is.

Perhaps that strength is knowing that another 11 players in the team have taken? He hasn't really disappointed anyone as many will be sympathetic towards him.

Rocket just stated.. He wont be playing this weekend..
Even though Harley said he would like to.

The club will probably sit down and sort out the finer details on monday or Tuesday about what to do.

 

[Ben Drever]

This is sort of like.. You think you may of accidently run a red light..
After a few months.. You think your in the clear..
Then 3 years later Civic Compliance send you a fine out of nowhere.
Id be pretty pissed off..
And think its a bit comical really.

This one sums it up for me


"
King said the photos “takes the veil of secrecy off drugs in the AFL system”.

“It’s not a ‘Mad Monday’. This is your preparation to play AFL football. Now we have to accept that now there is a massive issue. A major issue. This would not be the only time that this has happened,” King said on SEN this morning.

“People say ‘this goes on, it’s part of society’, but when you see a photo, it’s quite confrontational.

“I’m worried about (Bennell).”

"

Deserves the punishment coming his way if the article is correct that he had 2 random in the room.

When doing drugs it should be alone or with other team mates who cant rat.

Totally... someone like Karmichael Hunt.

So there is a competition on at the moment to come up with the a new mascot for the Commonwealth Games...


I have come up with this, but can't think of a name for him?!

Charlie?

One thing I find interesting in this whole affair is the Suns management continually denying any knowledge of the players taking drugs, boozing, & partying.
The truth is instead if being open and honest to the supporters and disciplining bad behaviour management have chosen to turn a blind eye and cover the whole mess up. Yes this year they have started to discipline players however the truth is still no where to be seen.

Matthew Lloyd - "Gold Coast are a club in denial." How's that for the pot calling the kettle black.

 

[Gus Poyet]

It'll blow over (no pun intended). Matthew Stokes is proof of that.

Hypocrisy
Former players selling out to make controversial comments.

This is very true. In Stokes' defence, I blame the horrible moustache he was rocking at the time which made him resemble a Mexican drug Lord.

The making of the best midfielder in the comp?

I hope Harley is appreciating all the love and support he is getting, Rocket and Travis having to stand in front of a rabid media scrum would of been very uncomfortable.
Hopefully he has matured enough to realise the effect HIS actions have had on the club and those that care about him.

I blame someone higher up in the club for not setting better examples...

It really makes you wonder what News Limited have to gain putting photos of a bloke from 2013 on the front page today, like he is some sort of serial killer.

Quite frankly it is a disgrace.

The pictures were always going in the paper..
We asked Harley to tell his side of the story. He didnt want to..

Robbo needs Harley to work on Robbo's timetable...

The decision was above him aye? What a flog. Isn't he the head football writer, surely he has the pull?

And good on Harley for refusing to add fuel to Slobbo's vindictive fire.

Harley should talk to people he knows he can trust, not someone who wants to make a dollar out of crucifying him.
