Gavin Crosisca : Grog and drugs cost me the lot

- Tagged users None
Dale Lewis said up to 75% of players use drugs, have a knowledge of the testing procedures and know how long the drugs (specifically speed and ecstasy) stay in the system. He basically was told to **** off by most people in the footy community, but was backed up by Gary Lyon who said he was made a scapegoat and said "Let's not sweep this under the carpet, let's deal with this in a mature manner"
That didn't happen, and this story apparently being 'earth-shattering' is proof that we're supposed to be shocked when we hear of players using recreational drugs.
I dont barrack for west coast and therefore am free to make comments about another clubs drug issue.
got his first taste in the premiership celebrations... was he celebrating with other players?
Collingwood supporters on here backing eddie for this one should pull their head in. 'side by side we stick together' shouldnt preclude you from having a brain and seeing that he has made an attention whoring claim about his earth shattering story that has turned into a fizzer... "can do no wrong because he wears the prison bars" gets a little tedious.
Nobody tells geelong posters off for commenting on drugs stories, even though GABsr clearly had a coke problem, or WB supporters, as young libba had a bit of a problem. Collingwood supporters definitely shouldnt be allowed to have an opinion on drinking because http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2008/s2324795.htm not all pies players are above reproach http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/pies-star-quizzed-on-shooting/2007/06/28/1182624084999.html
Maybe as a Crows supporter you can give us your opinion about players bashing their girlfriend in a pub

I know it's trivial, but jebus, are sub-editors really this lazy?
Gavin Crosisca was never a star. That's like me claiming that Peter Wilson was a star for the Eagles.
Honestly, the only reason I think they do it is because 'STAR' takes up less space than 'PLAYER'.
But then again, it IS News Ltd, and they probably think that if they make Crosisca out as a star, then more people will think the AFL is corrupt and the people will flock to their sport.
"has admitted to used illicit drugs"
Quality Engrish.

Premiership spud Crosisca stuffs his life up... blames it on drugs = front page news.
Premiership star Neagle dies young in truck accident = lost somewhere in middle section of paper.
You can tell that the selling point here is drugs.
There are billions of dollars is tax payer funds invested in keeping the things illegal.

He chose an opportune time to become a junkie?
I'm afraid it doesn't work like that Gav.

Not necessarily. It depends on the strain you would get, where some can be euphoric and have an "upper" effect.
I struggle to see how people could be bagging the Ed.

if youre going to respond like that youre proving my point. find me an afl club that hasnt had a player indiscretion. if im not allowed to have an opinion because of bock you arent allowed to have an opinion for the examples i just cited. if you cant see that then you basically remove yourself from any serious discourse and reenforce my point.
Could this be the entree to the main?
If the bloke wants to not be a joke everytime he builds up a story then it had better be,
You've got to hand it to him though, there's no one better at conning the public than Eddie McBeatup.
How lucky is Gavin to have such a caring family.

Are we talking about an addict or a football career??
Boohoo, cry me a river.
You are still lying Gav.

I have asked for your opinion on Bock, I never said you shouldn't have one, I would guess all AFL clubs would have players who have had an indiscretion, you decided to highlight Collingwood, I highlighted the Crows

Started going hard in 1990. Wonder if Eddie will ask what other players were on it.

So does Leigh to be honest
Culture? He certainly didn't do any of that at Brisbane
Speed in the 80's was truckers choice, head in the bag stuff.
Did he end up on the spike with the Ice?

Yawn... wonder when his book is coming out.
He's just come out of 12 step.
Listen to him. Citalopram/Xanax........he's onto a different hell.
