    Why did they not get charged when found with drugs?  are they above the law?

    sent for counselling like they are the victims, bizarre

    Depends on the drug found and the amount. If it’s a small amount, first offence etc the legislation is they have to attend intervention sessions and not have charges preferred. It’s not above the law, it is the law.

    Think it won't affect him getting another home but hopefully it reduces his new contract offer so crows get pick 20 instead of pick 2 as compensation.

    Just spitballing, but it might have been a small amount of the substance in possession, as well as (as far as any scale can apply) accounting for the type of substance in possession.

    Without having any further detail, it's all just speculation really.

    Edit: @Ethan Tremblay not only beat me to it, but articulated it better.

    Is it an automatic strike under the AFL's drug policy?

    Not for the possession of the substance but I’m sure he’ll be subsequently tested.

    Crouch may get a diversion but this is Stengles 2nd major offence. He got into serious strife in April.

    Far better to focus on a couple of Langdon-quality players at $500K each than paying up to $1M for Crouch.

    hear, hear....

    Bet you've said that once or twice before!

    If he wasn't charged he's still a 'cleanskin', whatever that is, so it shouldn't alter Geelong's interest

    Yes, I dont think Geelong will touch him now, meaning they will go hard for Viney

    No club in the competition are cleanskins 'bobby'...

    If any club had a no illicit drug policy & really went hard to enforce it they wouldn't be able to field a team.

    cheers for the info

    I wonder if the cops don't like you much if they can charge you at their discretion? 

    like a Shannon Noll-type unofficial law

    They are footballers deebug. That does not automatically make them clever in fact I often think quite the reverse.

    They just strike me as a club that would not tolerate that sort of thing. Culture, there is a reason they have been at the top end of the league for a long time. Again, watch them come hard for Viney now

    Culture is a myth in this case...

    Just take a look at their Premiership coach (not Scott the other one) to understand that.

    Drugs are rife in all AFL clubs 'bobby', that one got out of the bag a long time ago and isn't going back any time soon.

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
