How so?

I'm sure you can figure that out, you're a smart bloke.

For a Port supporter.

I don't think your assumption is correct.

1st strike, anonymous, no penalty. Counselling internally.
2nd strike, name released, 2 game suspension.
3rd strike, goneski for good.

Pretty close, I reckon 2 weeks is a bit light. I would prefer 4-6, but pretty bang on IMO

hang on, if everyone knows the policy is no chances, then surely the culprit deserves to get the flick?

So you can rob the bank once that's all good, You can even do it again we'll let that slide but you do it a 3rd time mister and your gone!

FFS give me a break. 3 strikes is a joke.

You get done for performace enhancing drugs no strikes at all, You get done F**k off your out.

Recreational drugs you get caught once- 10 weeks suspension and $20,000 get done a second time. F**k off your out.

These blokes live the greatest life's in the world. They love the fame but the fact is being a role model is par for the course in being AFL footballers, Like it or not. It's just the way it is.

In my line of work were randomly tested. So we toe the line as these guys need to.

'Ice' is a huge concern in the current climate we live in. I know I worry like hell about my lad and the group he can associate with I've just done my best to educated my lad and hope he makes the right life choices. I'm pretty confident he'll turn out fine but, You can't help but worry in this day and age.

Footballers don't use ice. Impedes recovery and performance through sleep deprivation and appetite suppression. Most of them would be having a few toots of cocaine here and there.

Fair point Q. The ICE reference was probably more a point of me as a parent having concerns of this problem that's getting totally out of hand.

The 'ice epidemic' is media sensationalism. Methamphetamine use in general hasn't actually increased.

I'm no expert on the subject, but I noticed in this article, that the way that the drug is now being used, is causing problems.

Exactly, the number of users hasn't increased, but habits of existing users has changed.

Out of season I wouldn't rule it out. There would be players racking up the Meth too I reckon.
