Rumour Sam Powell-Pepper taking 'Personal Leave'

His career really did peak at the "dont argue" he did on Burgoyne in that practice match.

Hopefully he sorts himself out.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Interesting... he could be heading back to WA I’d that’s the case
Shame, I like SPP the way he goes at it is great to watch, was keen on us taking him but went Galluci

 

[GROTTO]

Elspeth broke a Pepper story before. Leave it with her, Im sure she will start her digging.

 

[RAPPA]

No room for salt here

 

[Thornhill]

Nothing to see here .. As Players go on personal leave (Didn't Paddy Ryder just go on personal leave ) ..

Any way while he is away we get game time into our other young players (like Bergmann, Woodcock, Williams, Drew, Mead, Jones etc )

And when he comes back he.is refreshed and ready to go

Went up a cog last year too, hopefully sorts himself out. Like the way he goes about it.

You could hear the cry "They are my boots ma"

When will these boys learn

Dude is from a rough background. His sister is in the clink. Would take it kinda seriously.

Massive talent but has always seemed on the edge of going off the rails.

Serious question - can players be drug tested while on personal leave?

Neither club will touch SPP as both know his family history and the issues he had to deal with as a kid. Best thing for him is to stay in Adelaide or head east.

Yeah there's a reason he wasn't recruited from them in the first place

Yes. anytime, anywhere.

C4[2]Yo`DooR who posted the port player doing a 'bootsma' has clarified that it isn't SPP but another young player..

Is doing a Bootsma the same as doing a Patton but to a younger audience?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

According to reddit it’s allegedly drug related something about a 3 day bender

Can’t say I’ve heard of those before?
Can you elaborate or not

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Reliably informed from a connected friend in SA that it’s the consequence of a 3 day bender as posted above, and that this has had Boak boot him out. It’s his 3rd strike with the leadership group who have sent him home.

If they are on a list they must advise their location at all times.

Probably fair to SPP to move this other stuff about the young Port player to a different thread as they are 2 very different situations.

 

[00Stinger]

Yes. anytime, anywhere.

for recreational drugs though?

for recreational drugs though?

Fairly sure, yes. You just don't receive an ASADA (now SIA?) sanction for it, the AFL has an illicit drugs policy however.
