West Coke's Tainted 2006 Premiership

[jnrmac 20,276]

Adam Hunter's house has been raided (he does apparently share it with two others) with drug paraphernalia and 75 unidentified pills being found.

The evidence continues to mount that the 2006 flag was influenced by substance abuse. Take the flag away now.....

I'd love our players to be off their nut on everything going if it meant a flag.

This is incredible....the wild, wild West story continues. Someone should investigate their 2011 year as well. They came from nowhere.

No way. I want a flag. But not at any cost.

I don't think the flag should be taken away from West Coast. If anyone can prove that the drugs they were on were performance enhancing then I might take a different view.

I have always thought their miraculous reincarnation from down in the doldrums in 2010 to almost be in the GF was mystifying. Not so much for any additional substances that they may have been consuming but rather for the tanking that took place back in Perth in 2010 without anyone noticing over here. It was more than having injuries. I think they get away with a lot more than we all know about over there.

Marijuana and ecstasy are not steroids and EPO........................

Their improvement last year is easy to understand. For a variety of reasons they weren't playing their best players fra couple of years, gaining some nice draft picks such as NicNat. Then, when they had topped up on young talent, they put out a full strength side with a number of premiership and all-australian players in it, topped up by some relly good early draft picks. Obviously this side is more than competitive.

[Go the Biff 3,457]

Sounds a bit sensible Ralphi. Surely you can do better than that with the material available !

[Sir Why You Little 37,308]

Let us all remember that John Worsfold is a qualified Chemist. So he must have known what has been going on to at least some degree.

W.A. Is another country compared to the eastern states. It is that far away.

I was at the GF in 2006 and have been suss on how clean that team was ever since.

I still think the AFL allow them to get away with murder. But with a 3 strike policy what do you expect.

I shall never agree with that. As a young kid i took a lot of drugs at parties-it was fun.

So if they AFL are fair dinkum then the club doctors should always be told.

It is not often i agree with Jeffrey Gibb Kennett!

He shares the place with two others, who's to say it doesnt belong to them?

Seems a bit premature to hang,dry and quarter the guy already!

How Many were on they're List back then? 47 by chance???

[leehow 303]

not sure what you guys think recreational drugs do, but they are definitely not performance enhancing. while that doesnt change the fact that its still against the rules for them to take them, i cant see how they would have made them play any better.

If there was substance abuse then they would not be winning flags. As someone else said, its not steroids and EPO.

If it meant running a minibus full of nuns off the side of a road then I'm with you. A few blokes off their chuff on coke on the other hand I could not care less about if it ends in glory.

Not sure I quite agree with your first comment there at all. Why would him being a chemist mean he knew what was going on? He's their coach you cant sit in their front yard watching day to day chores only thing you can judge is their time at the club and i doubt theyd be using there. Are you suggesting he was helping to supply them... I don't quite follow the personal attack WYL?

No not at all. But Worsfold would have seen some tell tale signs & he would have had a far idea how that it happened...that is what a chemist does. He adds chemicals to chemicals to produce a change.

In no way do i think Worsfold opened the leather bag, but i do believe he chose to not act on it as the "window" was open in 2005-6.

[DemonWA 3,940]

none of this is news to people over here. In their prime it was not unusual to bump into these guys at a pub or club in perth / subi and be shocked at how out of it they were. Cousins especially. Hunter has always been a wild bloke

[Fork 'em 7,043]

I'd be more concerned about the 2 flags they won in the 90's.

That side had bodybuilders all over the field , made the rest of the league look small .

Having said that , watching Cousins "Gut run" up and down the field during the last qr of the 2006 GF was ... Interesting .

Worsfold would have known all this,& also that Perth is a long way from AFL house. News got out, but only after the window had bought fruit.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Worsfold completed a Bachelor of Pharmacy in 1989. To the best of my knowledge he has never worked as a "pharmacist" or done the further qualifications to actually become a qualified chemist or pharmacist. An undergraduate degree does not necessarily equip you with the experience to fulfill properly fulfill the professional duties of that vocation. Worsfold appears to have played AFL from the age of 18 and moved into coaching upon retirement.

To suggest that "he knew" based on him being a chemist is a misrepresentation and a long stretch of the facts if any facts were indeed being implied here.

If anything tell tale issues would should have been more likely identified by doctors are professionally trained, qualified and experienced.

Give it a rest Rhino, i really do not care what you think. With you it is just an ongoing attack. Worsfold would have known what was going on. Whether he put the white coat on and had his own shop is irrelevent to all but you.

He would have known what was going on...why? Because he was qualified in that area. He would have known also he had a finite time before the sh!t hit the fan.

[H_T 3,049]

And of course, you have proof of this, WYL ? You're implicating Worsfold to be some kind of mastermind schemer and hence clouding or black marking the Eagles Premiership of 2006 without any supporting evidence. On tha back of a report of a former player.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Thanks Emu. Did he own it or actually work in it?

Never let a fact get the way of your conspiracy theory WYL.
