Nick's Collingwood Bulletin Board

Hiss wrote:I am still confused as to what criminal behaviour is acceptable by Collingwood players and what would warrant sacking? And who are the judges of such? From what I can see taking illegal drugs only warrants a minor penalty despite the damage these things do to our society. Young and dumb is no defence . Can anyone list what criminal behaviour is tolerated at Collingwood and what are the scale of penalties? Or are the drugs measured by weight then aligned to the sanction? If he had sold a small quantity, would that be a two week penalty? The point I make here warrants a serious discussion around the slippery slide problem normalising and trivialising criminal conduct . It now sets a precedent. Two weeks for taking illegal, yet socially acceptable drugs. Zero tolerance followed by weak sanctions! If we were really fair dinkum , 12 weeks with a massive fine is what sends the right message here.

But it is illegal and even if it was legal, it's against the AFL's illicit drug policy. As for anyone's business, sporting competitions like the AFL literally only exist for the public.

The Herald Sun reported this morning that he was snorting Ketamine off a Key.

I doubt he carries baggies of Special K powder with him to training camps, so it suggests that he'd had a few drinks, someone sidled up and offered him a hit, he went with them to the toilets to do it and someone else was somehow clued up to film it over the cubicle door. Smells like a setup.

He's a naive 20 year old, he made a mistake, if he has the brains god blessed TP's namesake sheep with, he'll learn from this and I hope he does because he's a bloody good player and a key part of our forward set up.

What if one of the ingredients is on the banned substance list?

That’s a 2 year holiday isn’t it?

Not to mention Keefe and Thomas missed 2 years of footy because their coke was cut with Clenbuterol (if you believe their version of events)

Don’t blame Thomas & Keefe. Blame the barista; they misheard their order for a cup of cocoa.
