That’s right.
When the VFL/AFL decided to bring on board the likes of West Coast and Adelaide into the league, it bought all the current problems and scandals upon themselves.
The AFL should have never bought in a club without a history or soul. The West Coast board cares little about its image and answers to no long life supporters or past players.
Both West Coast and Adelaide supporters have shown no loyalty from the get go, abandoning their previous VFL/AFL clubs or their local clubs. So they care little about the moral recklessness that their players are showing. And the major problem is, it's not just one or two players which many teams experience. For West Coast, it's an epidemic.
The inclusion of Port Adelaide is the way all new team entrances should be handled. Bring in an established club with a history and more importantly a "Soul". Brisbane "bought" a soul a consequence of their merger with Fitzroy. Fremantle is less prone to this "soullessness" as it represents a city.
So AFL instead of complaining about drug issues etc, how about you look into the mirror. You bought in the unwashed, soulless team that is West Coast.
