recreational drugs are NOT performance enhancing.

if anything, i would say they would probably make it harder for those in the midst of addiction.....

Every sensible person know that shit like this goes on at every club... and I'm almost 100% sure Cousins isn't enough of a **** to dog in other players by name.

No actually you would be surprised most people don't like to acknowledge that it would be happening in AFL. They enjoy the ignorance.

Michael Johnson has already been painted with it. You can be rest assured, this documentary will make him think, along with the unknowns out there in the league probably running the gauntlet as we speak, and yet to be caught.

You've allready got your own brush it's called michael Johnson..

Like I said, sensible people.

Or maybe I should rephrase that. Worldly people perhaps?

Your views are the same as mine on this I think Esti- we're talking about highly paid young men with a lot of free time. You'd have to be very ignorant to think that this sort of thing doesn't go on at every club.

Should be a very interesting documentary.

Where they the ones suppliying your coke fiend?

 

[Fastback]

It's interesting how on one hand his lifestyle was supposedly "out of control" yet he goes to the trouble of recording it. Making a doco is a premeditated decision, just like taking drugs and hamming it up for the camera.
I'll watch it but there's a part of me that thinks most of this will be contrived and Cuz knew he'd make a packet out of it. If the media was already smothering him and speculating about his lifestyle whilst he ducked and weaved around the truth then surely it was always going to happily engulf "raw footage" of a private life.
Could open the door for other footballers to record their "life and times of me" for future sale..

Dont know about that Grammy. If you saw his second half against the crows at Aami in 2005 or 2006 (cant remember which) prelim, you would have to wonder what he took at half time. He was outstanding in the first half, but 10 times as good in the second half. I still cant believe how hard he ran.

he ran like he was running from the cops

oh wait...

Will certainly take some of the attention away from Jason Akermanis' book release...

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

It has been reported that Andrew Demetriou was "genuinely shocked" when viewing the documentary. Well Andrew, good to see you have taken your nose out of the balance sheets to take a look at what is really going on out there. Welcome to the real world.

 

[Barnzy]

Of course he made it just for the money. I'll still watch it though. Does make you wonder about all his little incidents over the couple years at Richmond and the footage in the Doco. How much of it is real and how much is just set up because he needed something interesting to film.

Channel 7 probably sent him a case of lobsters for using that phrase.

While I cant wait to see it, I tend to agree with this. I just wonder how much of it is played up for the camera and how much is genuine. Guess we will see in a month or so.
