I think Rafa has the right expression for the headline....

Every headline from pretty much every mainstream online source now has a couple of sensationalist or extreme words.
Purely designed to get the clicks.
If they don't half-arse it it'd be fine, but it's the afl so they won't look at everything and it'll be a mess.
I'd rather they scrap the MSD and mid season trading, but open supplemental recruiting from zones. Encourage teams to invest in local footy
It's contradiction to say you want midseason trade period but don't want the AFL to become americanised.

I would love it. Seeing some scrub get traded three times in a season!

Just allow trades to happen, but forget the big media event.
Wishful thinking cos obviously it’s about media exposure not an actual need to trade

Yet Claz is free to do what he wants on the frozen water. Lol.

I fear if Smith doesn't beat this charge on appeal it may well be career over as he is 28 years old.
Needs to be the wake up call that professional athletes require.

All comes down to the AFL is happy to put it’s head in the sand when it comes to these issues rather than tackling them head on so they don’t lose any players.
Of course it all comes to a head when someone is dumb enough to do it on game day.
The AFL could stamp drugs out tomorrow if they felt like it.

Never heard of this bloke before this drug news. Very generic name. Very generic appearance. Nondescript career. Probably AI generated to cover Clarry's tracks.

Not without the agreement of the AFLPA.

This won't end well.

Never say never. He is an exceptional person to have done what he has done in life so far.
get at it Clayton, get back out there.

Maybe not. Perhaps a year off with a significant stay in a treatment clinic could give him a new lease of life. But the odds are against him. Depending on the substance he's apparently struggling with, relapse rates in the first year are between 25% and 60%. Put him in the same high-pressure, fast-moving environment where he fell into trouble in the first place and you would think the odds are worse.
But you never know. I hope for the best for him, anyways.
Josh Jenkins lucky he's done.
How's the image that the afl website rolled with… geezus
The Wayne Carey one last year was funnier by memory.
