The 'Brad Crouch thread' needs to be renamed the 'Brad Crouch line'.

 

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

Crouch household right now:

 

Ding dong..... Who is it... "ASADA...."

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
