May have been something else that enhanced his performance during his breakout season.
I'm sure as another poster mentioned there would be guys at most clubs who have the odd dart while out on the turps, I'd still be disappointed if I saw it first hand during the season.

Max Gawn use to be a big smoker, even got caught by the club smoking before a training session several years ago. I think he's stopped now though

I don't blame you. I'd be annoyed too if I found out a Hawk player was smoking regularly (or even at all). It's that detrimental to your aerobic ability that it would be infuriating to know that any player could be that much better if they simply didn't do it. Imagine we found out Buddy secretly had been smoking for his entire career. Yeah he's an athletic freak and is probably aerobically superior to most KPF in the history of the game - but that he could've been even better but wasn't just because of that.

I'm not so naive to think that of the 40-odd blokes on our list that not one of them participates in the consumption of legalised recreational drugs (and likely some more on illegal varieties). But you're right, I'd rather not know.

It was the norm back in the day.
Wouldn't have thought many if any would smoke regularly while playin AFL, they simply wouldn't be able to keep up with the demands of fitness and everything else.
On weekend though there would be more than a few who after a few drinks do a bit of social smoking.

One of my favourite footy stories is the essendon trainer who handed out the Viscounts to Leon Baker, Van Der Haar, Simon Madden and others on the ground after the 84' gf as they waited for the formalities to begin.
