Fair dinkum, a bit of a play up in NZ.

Oh its the end of the world...............

They got a kick up the arse - BY THE CLUB.

Discipline is good, breaking curfew wont be tolerated and they learnt a valuable lesson on what it takes to be a Saints player.

Hate to be in the trenches next to some of you hysterics

Sorry cant sure that opinion. This is on top of all the other rubbish. Stronger people wouldnt do this crap and then there is the words misuse of prescription drugs without explanation. The media will have a field day.

You mightnt want to be in the trenches with some of us but i would question being in the trenches with some of our players.

Well thats what you get when you mention drugs. I would suggest that the AFL mentioned to the Saints that a big ban is needed.

Fair enough, you dont have to share my opinion.

As for being in the trenches with our players, well it would be interesting, we could get high on script drugs and booze and maybe have a laugh at the captains and elite midfielders expense.

And of course the media will have a field day, but is it important? A couple of fringe players play up in NZ - oh no, the club must fold.

Really, the way some supporters go in is hysterical.

Totally agree if we'd done nothing wrong for the last two years, but in the light of everything thats happened of late, we reallly needed to get thru that NZ trip without incident.

I also think its quite important that Stanley and Steven arent fringe players this year,.,,but hard for them to step up when their preseason consists of picking up papers on the Frankston foreshore or giving the elderly their evening meal while training with Sandy.

You know me..I'm as glass-half-full as anyone, but this has really annoyed me

Let's follow Barrett's tweeting, wow in other news Neil Harvey thinks the current Aussie cricket team is no good, and GT thinks we hung the players out to dry and should have put on more booze and drugs for them....

Players did stupid thing get suspended will need to work harder to regain confidence, whole group put on notice, first time its ever happened in Aussie rules I reckon, imagine if a Cats player had been suspended in '07 for a long period of time, might have cost them a premiership

We are a rabble, won't make the 8 blah blah blah, we complain about the herald Sun and act exactly like them.

I think it just clarifies a few things:

Simpkin in for Dawson

Armitage assured of the other in and under mid

Walsh of the rookie list - cahill on the wookie list

Kosi to stay up forward more (drats)

Well all of you F*** off and support a different team if you dont like it.

So sick of the hysterical bleatings of moronic supporters who have their self worth mixed in with some bunch of moronic footballers and think it is eath shattering.

Absolutely no perspective. Don is on deaths door and all i hear are bleating about a couple of kids being caught out being stupid.

If you have had a "gutful" go, leave, dont come back, or at least until their is a sense of where football fits in the scheme of things.

Or go the the AGM and voice you disapproval.

FGS, stop the hysterical whining.

No wonder RF left this rathole.

Spot on.

How did Collingwood after the suspension of two of their players in 2009?

Fair dinkum - will be the same posters bagging Thomas when his rent a statement hits the headlines in a couple of days

Beg your pardon!

This isn't over Joffaboy, don't think the club is going to get away with a slap on the wrist for 'misuse of prescription meds'

Club has serious issues, time to admit it, and look to set it right.

Oh, and I can express my sentiments in whichever way I choose.

StevieSaint · Mon 31 Jan 2011 9:07pm

oh my...here we go again....lol

Stanley and Steven.....what a joke....drinking and dropping valiums or panedeine fortes or something....thats really not good.....two zoned out rookies who we all hope to perform this year....of course just speculating, who knows the full story yet but it sure don't sound good.

Maybe this might give em a wake up call to prove something to everyone and work harder....

Shaw and Didak let their team down a couple years ago and have done alright unfortunately....

Enrico_Misso · Mon 31 Jan 2011 9:11pm

Apart from Brisbane, there are 14 (or 15 now) other clubs that are motoring along without any bad publicity.

But we just seem to lurch from crisis to crisis.

Don't these imbeciles realise the opportunity that they have?
They have talent that the rest of us could only dream of.
Ageing and wear and tear will (in general) limit their careers to less than a decade.
Apart from the honour of playing this great game at the highest level they are also being paid ridiculously high money to do it.

Why the hell wouldn't you knuckle down and try and get the best outcome for the short time you are there,
instead of behaving like childish dickheads??????

Very very very very disappointed.
Especially in you Zac

There's no doubt it's stupid and reckless and a host of other things but this could be as simple as having a couple of beers along with an antibiotic. Letâ€™s not cut up the membership until some more facts come out.

I do like the subtle but effective distinction in reporting - the club calls it 'misuse' of prescription medication, The Age calls it 'misuse' of prescription medication and the Herald Sun calls it 'abuse' of prescription medication. No surprises there.
