| I think some of you are selling him short. Give him three years and he could play the "Tony Armstrong Role" for the Club. |

This sounds a bit Robbo-esque.
I'm not sure if you're being serious or flippant... |

AP, I see... FGTC, I thought you might say, only because he got caught...
FWIW, here are the AFL's statistics for 2005-13. This was prior to hair testing. The stats are consistent with the claim that cocaine is the drug of choice. Is pot for poor people?

I'm not sure what FGTC means, but I could tell you who the main source of distribution was within the club at the time and several names of those he regularly partied with on our list. No prizes for guessing who amongst them though.
You might also refer to Pert's comments about player behaviour in the off-season as a sign of the persistent problem that the club has had.
I don't think that Collingwood is unique in this respect. It's pretty clear that all clubs have had problems and would continue to. It's widespread in society and young blokes with cash, in high pressure roles and skin fold requirements are going to be attracted. The testing is pretty ineffective and players are generally pretty street smart. Not sure Ben Cousins ever tested positive, nor Lance Armstrong.

He seemed to pay a high price for that sleep in, it was hard to believe he never got back in. He is a serious talent and would be great for Collingwood. Was excellent in second half of 2016 before being injured for the grand final when he was a regular in that Swams team. He can really run and would allow us a lot more flexibility with Howe. |
