Sad news, obviously all the pressure got to him

He looked cooked every week on 360 last year

If you believe all the talk this has been a long time coming.
There was talk many years ago that he was involved when Stokes got busted and even people at Geelong commented that at times he was aloof and would miss trainings from time to time.
He rocked up absolutely whacked at our presentation night the year he coached and then there are the dodgy property deals and numerous dealings with bikies over the journey. As Benny said he was cooked on AFL360 most of the time

Was he cooking or trafficking?

If this surprises any of you obviously you’ve had your head in the sand.

Trying to outdo Robbo for degree of intoxication

I'm not sure this is sad.
It's been an open secret for many years that something was not right with Bomber.
He's either not been called to account by those in the industry who could do something about it, or refused support if it was offered.
This is one man, though, who had a choice about the path he was taking.

Pretty hard to maintain a Gary Busey appearance without the help of drugs

Or in the ice.

Yep. The signs were there

Anyone who thinks Bomber isn't selling to some of his players has their heads even further in the sand!!

Will be interesting to see if this finally makes the AFL deal with the drug problems they have turned their back on for years.

Hmmm, the plot thickens to the Brenton Sanderson sacking by Adelaide......noticed he's never worked for another AFL club since!

I honestly know nothing about Sanderson but the old back room of the Rise nightclub in the early 2000's could tell a million stories.

Not sad at all, how many of us get the opportunities he has had, seemingly a nice bloke but I've always sensed a bit of arrogance with him and couldn't give a toss about others, surely he has eeked enough money out of his football appointments to not have to resort to the lowest form of dirty money imaginable, pure greed, I hope they throw the book at him, more importantly, I hope they make him do community service to witness first hand the affects ice has on people, it's a horrible disgusting drug and those at the top of the tree should fall the hardest.

Linking Sanderson to Bombers arrest is pathetic mate

Just pure greed and arrogance.

Well said, although he has plenty of $$$ so his motivations here will be interesting to find out, maybe its just a big FU to the world.
