Yze_Magic 3 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 UNBELIEVABLE!! Is this for real? http://media.putfile.com/Audio-tapes-on-Cousins-and-Kerr Also allegedly features ex-Eagle Aaron Edwards and basketballer Jason Harvey.
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 This is quite old (I think it was recorded in 2003), however Kerr's behaviour lately doesn't suggest to me that a whole lot has changed. From a criminal side of things, transporting the drugs interstate would be a serious offence I would imagine, and ABC news suggested that there was evidence of this happening in the phone conversations. BTW, was I the only one who heard him say to the dealer, "we're playing Melbourne at home... should beat them". Mind you, this was 2003 and we were absolutely rubbish that year . The [censored] is seriously going to hit the fan in regards to this drug issue. Now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak, revelations of drug use will come thick and fast. I'm still not convinced that it will stop the Eagles from being successful though... unless of course they decide Kerr needs a holiday too.

I'm still not convinced that it will stop the Eagles from being successful though... unless of course they decide Kerr needs a holiday too. It certainly turns up the heat on the Eagles, and now the Kangaroos.... who could in some regards plead ignorance, although considering Edwards performances in the VFL and the apparent lack of interest from any other club, you would suspect that word had got around about his history. To sum up in relation to allegations/speculation about Eagles Players: Cousins - confirmed and suspended internally. Kerr- yet to be confirmed, but a huge weight of public opinion (the pressure of which may well destroy his career). Fletcher -yet to be confirmed, but again mounting public pressure to spill the beans. Chick - with Cousins missed training, guilt by association and more to come. Edwards - see Kerr. Gardiner - much speculation and innuendo. That's six players that were all there when Worsfold took over.... only Edwards and eventually Gardiner when he became too much of a media liability were shown the door. I'd suggest whatever other programme the Eagles had in place (details of which are yet to be provided ) were not effective. Ahh yes of course there was no drug culture at the club, how could anyone do anything without proof.
Yze_Magic 3 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 This is the biggest story in the history of football It puts the Carey scandal to shame
WonnaJurah 5 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 soon we will probably see a lot of players to be named, its going to change the AFL for sure
Demon Head 299 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 This is the biggest story in the history of football It puts the Carey scandal to shame Geez, I can't wait for the footy to start! :angry:
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 dont be surprised if other clubs get mentioned, possibly even melbourne, i know of an afl player who use to come home every year and smoke dope with his old mates after the season
WonnaJurah 5 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 diidnt laurence Angwin know of players that are on drugs when he got kicked out few years ago?
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 probably, it would be interesting to know what drugs they are taking and wether they are during the season or not
Yze_Magic 3 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 I dont think the moderators needed to change the title to the thread There is nothing alleged about this Its audio straight from Perth radio, and it is 100% Daniel Kerr
Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I couldn't make any sense out of all that mumbo-jumbo. I presume they used the F-word a lot. That's about all I could make of it. Whatever it means, I hope the Eagles crumble. But it seems they've found the secret of success. I've always thought they seem more muscular than their Eastern state rivals. Perhaps it's not just fun drugs they play around with. Anabolic steroids would be childs play compared to Ketamine etc.
brey9186 102 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 wow word is sundays papers somewhere are not only going to name the 3 second strike players, but the 21 1st strikers as well also, an exclusive with ben cousins is happening in a paper on the weekend too more clubs, different states and lots of players are about to have their worlds fall in on them, i just hope that melbourne comes off lightly

joeboy 3,194 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 I won't / can't mention names , but my son's junior football coach is a recently retired Essendon footballer who told me yesterday that at a post-match get together after an Essendon / Eagles match 3 years ago , lots of 'coloured pills' were ' allegedly 'being distributed freely in the hotel room of a WC player .

Smarties anyone?
gOLLy 401 Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 cant wait to give the verbal abuse from the side line. "Were the Eagles, The Wet Toast Eagles, Where the Eagles...Were getting High!
Geddy Lee 582 Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I'm glad Melbourne players aren't on any hard drugs . . . can't say the same about one of our ex-players though . . .
demonfanjezza 1 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 cant wait to give the verbal abuse from the side line. "Were the Eagles, The Wet Toast Eagles, Where the Eagles...Were getting High! Nothing more to add
mordja 187 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I'm glad Melbourne players aren't on any hard drugs . . . can't say the same about one of our ex-players though . . .I hope you are either saying that with a deep dose of sarcasm or with your tongue firmly in your cheek. We are no more immune than any other club. I have witnessed one MFC player using a substance, and know of at least one other.
jaysoul 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 spot on Mordja, I have witnessed a up to four melbourne boys present and ex-players, even some of our favourite sons. it's everywhere.
rusty_kingswood 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I hope you are either saying that with a deep dose of sarcasm or with your tongue firmly in your cheek. We are no more immune than any other club. I have witnessed one MFC player using a substance, and know of at least one other. EXACTLY!!.. Dont be so naive everybody to think that WC is the only club doing this. Of course no one can name names, and allot of talk is alleged, but there is allot of scrutiny on the WC players because they are only one of two clubs there and because of previous incidents. There are going to be Melbourne club based players named in this as well dont worry about that. It really is juts going to be a matter of time. Footballers have to learn that if they want to make these lifestyle choices and not get caught, they are going to have to start being allot more careful.
mordja 187 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I think you're on the money Rusty_K, these boys need to be a bit more sensible. Its almost some bizarre form of showing off how blatant some of them (obviously!) are. If one chooses to partake in substance use they should be discrete enough about it not to get caught, the rest of the population manage it without too much difficulty.... Take away the fact that I would rather all MFC players not do it (which is quite obviously their decision not mine), the least i can hope for is that this public airing of dirty laundry makes our guys pull their heads in a bit.....boys will be boys after all.
