Scandal Former Eagles player found guilty of Armed Robbery

[Broken_Chairs]

How many mid-'00s Eagles became crystal meth addicts?

Seriously?

This is a good (unrelated) read https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au...e-crystal-meth-addict/1406901600#.VNGBUi5Lcpo

sounds like a more widespread issue than just mid 00's eagles players

I think close to about half a dozen. Hunter, Gardener, Cousins, Chick, Kerr and I'm sure a few others.
Club has worked really hard to change the culture and I think its shaken all the bad apples from the tree and is really healthy at the moment.

Was ****ed when the club lost its shit mid-2000's but now I think because of it we're the cleanest club going around present day.

Former West Coast Eagle guilty of armed robbery, blames descent on club drug culture

"Former West Coast Eagles footballer Ben Russell Sharp has pleaded guilty to armed robbery and drug trafficking, blaming his descent on a culture of drug abuse at the AFL club he joined as a teenager in 2004.
...
Sharp was approached by a senior player at a club social event and told: 'you're either in or you're out', according to Mr Kilduff.

It was a reference to drug use, and the teenager soon became a regular cocaine user, before using ice for the first time."

Former West Coast Eagles Midfielder Ben Sharp has been arrested and charged over a western suburbs armed robbery ring allegedly motivated by the drug ice, where almost $290,000 was stolen at gunpoint from an armoured vehicle.

Sharp was drafted to the Eagles in 2005 from TAC Cup side Oakleigh Chargers and was today charged and remanded in custody over the gunpoint hold-up of an unarmed security guard outside a Sunbury McDonald's on December 1.

Sharp shared a home with infamous Eagles champion Ben Cousins in 2005 when he first arrived at the club and has been close with him ever since.

the headline of 'STAR" is using poetic licence.

its always someone else's fault.

Sharp by name, not very sharp by nature.

Needs to take responsibility for his own actions and stop blaming others. There are other players from the club who didn't descend into drug use or armed robbery like he has.

How they won a flag, almost two, at that time, is baffling.

West Coast and turning a blind eye to the rampant drug culture still has a lot to answer for.

 

[eggtardo]

Did his brother and buddy blame West Coast also?

 

[GreyCrow]

I hadn't realized how old this was , so I liked a post from 2015

Maybe I'm not as Sharp as Ben

Cousins would be the short priced favourite but really it could have been at least half the team.

Yeah, I was being a smartass. Sounds like there was a drug clique at west coast.

Probably the same at every club tbh.

Unfortunately the collateral damage was ruining a quite a few lives on the way.

Are clubs really any different today? There is a rather loose unit that just won a flag and the behaviour is glorified just like Cousins before he went completely off the rails.

Says the supporter of the only WA club with two players caught using drugs while on a playing list..

One of them was caught twice with drugs

Hurn and Priddis obviously also giant meth addicts given they joined the club at the same time.

He was a traffic controller during one of his moments of madness. I'm sure he's woken up in a garden or two at some point.
