TOPIC:

so I will come out with a headline to grab everyone's attention and put myself up there as a all knowing and in touch retired footballer. It could be that my contract at Fox is on the wane and I need to boost my image.

Anyway you look at it Choker Riewoldt has come out with something we ll know happens in our community and why would the AFL or for that matter the WAFL community be any different.

Over the years of my work in the WAFL community I have heard stories abt drugs at this club and that club even at my own. Whilst I accepted them as stories I always knew that there is a grain of truth given the wider community issue with drugs.

This is not abt recycling Cousins, Charles and others, or even trotting out the WAFL players so please if you can steer away from them.

It is sad, for me and maybe not others, that a former player who some regard as a champion needs to seek attention when there are other issues that need a focus i our game and can where a greater effect can be had!

All of these players only ever come out with these claims (no doubt most are true) well after they have retired- Riewoldt, Schwartz, Lewis etc if they were really concerned about the effected players welfare why not raise these when they are still playing not years after?!
