Thought this could use it's own thread.
Looks like there is a new policy from 2016.

Interested in getting peoples thoughts on this as it's an area that interests me. How much power should the AFL have to dictate what a player does outside of game day?
IMV there is a fine but important distinction between demanding professionalism and controlling the lives of the athlete. I am all for PED testing however I do not feel the AFL should have an illicit drugs policy. Why should it matter what the player does to himself outside of matches? I am certainly not one to advocate drug use but I really don't understand why the AFL thinks it has the ability to dictate what choices a player makes outside of their working week, regardless of how careless those choices are (outside of harming others, of course).
Thoughts?
