Gavin Crosisca : Grog and drugs cost me the lot

[jonbe54]

He's just come out of 12 step.

Listen to him.

Ha I love loud mouthed, self-satisfied and opinionated people

It's always such a pisstake when you come up against the first real hurdle in your life and fall flat on your face.

 

[livnixon9]

Are we talking about an addict or a football career??

Boohoo, cry me a river.

You are still lying Gav.

At least he didn't pertake in any criminal activities like another drug addict in Wayne Johnson.

 

[butters86]

and here i was thinking the big story was going to be "star AFL player addicted to dog food"

 

[Stig O'Hara]

My partner lives with the residue of her lifestyle from 10 years ago, and it is horrible.

Addiction is something that cannot be controlled.

Please don't lecture me because you have watched a show on a Footy Channel.

If you dig deeper, everyone was involved.

I grieve for your pain and withdraw my comments unreservedly but attacking the addicted is no solution either.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Put it this way.

I have utterly NO time for the junkie, anyone that puts their life at the hand of a spike, dirty or not, has left the human race.

A waste of medical resources.

Hot shot, throw them in a ditch, and burn them.

I don't agree but I do hear you and hope you and your partner can find a peaceful harbour.

I've got no time for people that shoot others, throw them in a ditch and set them on fire. I'm PC in that regard. Having said that, it was a shit interview.

I must have misinterpreted what you meant by the residue of your partner's former lifestyle then, because otherwise those two posts are completely incompatible.

I'd say I am very specific.

 

[estibador]

I'd say I am very specific.

Still not sure what that means. An addiction without the needle then?

Seems like varying degrees of the same thing, not worthy of a death sentence in either case.

The missus worked out BF.

She needs a good poke.

 

[STFU Donnie]

I normally like Eddie but im getting really over him.

I'll never get over Eddie. He's too big. I'll have to go around!

 

[Daytripper]

I thought it was quite a compelling interview personally.

And yes, Eddie did put a bit of mayo on it beforehand but FFS are most of you brain dead.
Media personality spins up an interview to generate publicity. Wow - THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

Thankyou denizens of Big Footy for pointing this out to me.

 

[Silverado]

It's truly sad that Gavin was more than likely goaded by EM to think that this story would break down barriers and give him a voice and a platform to speak out about drug addiction etc.

Reality is though that EM has shamelessly used Gavin and his story to promote himself and himself alone, the fat tird knew all along this wasn't the biggest story in 30 years but proclaimed it to be so, just to put his own ratings above the woes of another human being.

Gavin has been sucked in and EM is rubbing his hands together with delight at his expense

 

[Copulator]

Man i still can't believe Jay van Berlo was delisted.

I don't know where to go from here, just take it one day at a time I guess..

 

[kaiserchief13]

So the 1990 flag is tainted. WC should get it now

 

[DardySingh360]

Did it seem to anyone else all Eddie asked was;

"How often did you drink"

"How often did you take drugs"

"How much did you drink"

"How much drugs did you take"

"Did you take it on game day"

"When did you take it to the next level"

In 1000 different ways

 

[Suspense]

I thought it was quite a compelling interview personally.

same. interesting to hear a then fairly well known player and premiership hero talk about his feelings of social inadequacy/ineptness which fueled his drug addiction.

 

[dmc333]

What's Eddie's next big scoop? Mick McGuane is a degen gambler?

 

[Natho]

JAY VAN BERLO GOT DELISTED?!

Just disastrous.

 

[choo]

So Crossisca was on speed the day after the 1990 grand final.
History says premiership players spend no time apart for the first 3-4 days after the flag.

 

[Tedeski]

Hard to believe not one of his team mates took part in the activities.
The way I interpreted the whole thing was that Eddie controlled the release of the info. Mike Sheahan would have asked the harder questions.

Who cares any way. There are others at all clubs that have had issues. He is just one.

 

[CAS79]

Iignoring the overhyped biggest football story in histroy build up it is an intriguing story.

Highly doubt Crosica is one of an isolated few from this era, it was around the beggining of the big money, football as a full time job era.

Just also hope that Gavin and his family continue their recovery and keep progressing to happier lives again.

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

Alcohol and cannabis? Not exactly class A drugs.

Speed is class A last time I checked
