Scandal Ginnivan suspended after been caught with illicit substance

[1970crow]

Yeah but generally if caught doing something like this, the player would say "I made an error in judgement to consume the product. I will be better behaved in future", something like that. Instead Ginnivan points the finger at the video being made rather than what he was doing.

he's quoted as saying that in an article as well.

Maybe filming over the top of the stall.

Candice says hi

People need to seriously get over players doing recreational drugs.

 

[jpfalvo]

Few rumours floating around about a betting scandal too

Whats all this about?

Loves being caught high this kid.

You win the internet! That’s gold!
and Jack us a****ing idiot!

 

[MagpieJo]

But he is truly sorry he got caught.

And shocked to be ‘filmed’ sitting here!

Good on him for just owning it and saying “I did it” and not trying to spin a mental health or I need help to be better card.

Who cares. Nothing wrong with a line here and there. Boomers need to let it go.

I never get the sanctimonious response to this. Young blokes with lots of money doing recreational drugs, colour me shocked.

I'd be reasonably confident in guessing a majority of players indulge in it, in one way or another.

That is the only thing he would be sorry for given the first reaction was that he didn't expect to be filmed in there.

Will be back on it already, just hiding it better.

Sure but he said “i’m here to reflect on the now” so he obviously thinks he’s teflon

Who said they didn't pay? Channel 7 had the exclusive mea culpa. What did that cost them? Making the video they just paid for disappear?

I think channel 7 just had the exclusive because the journo’s Dad is the pies president, so it was a way to manage it from a PR perspective for Ginniven.

I could be well off the mark here but I remember someone telling me that begrudgingly it’s physically better for players to take illicit substances rather than a night on the beers.

As in, the high performance team can see via weight, BMIs etc when someone’s been out drinking beers from the weigh in with high calories compared to if they are on the bags they maintain weight and it can be kept under wraps.

Call me out if this is completely off the mark but the way it was explained to me did make sense on why it’s more common for an AFL players to go down this path rather than alcohol.

Always astounds me that the first time they try these substances, they are unlucky enough to be filmed and have the footage leaked

• Who cares. Nothing wrong with a line here and there. Boomers need to let it go.

Nothing wrong with a line here and there ???

• Clubs invest in players and expect them to be in peak fitness physical and mental.
• When does a line here there become more often than not
• Drugs can, not always, lead to riskier behaviour, injuries, trouble with law
• Encouraging undesirables access to player can undermine the integrity of the player/club/game

If you want to be young and party, and do coke off of a toilet seat go play for your local clubs, if you want to get paid hundred of thousands of dollars, don’t take drugs.. it’s not that complicated FFS.

yeah it was boomers filming the guy

 

[smasha]

Alcohol is so overpriced ,I can see why footballers do recreational drugs.

 

[smasha]

Boomers wrote the book on recreational drugs,lol at millennials.

The 1990 instant classic 'How to do a line at work & get away with it' needs a rerelease methinks

Yeah let’s give him a medal

That's pretty obviously the case, isn't it.

Loads of calories from booze and a greasy kebab and chips vs no calories and a loss of appetite.

Geelong wrote the book on recreational drugs.

Never a dull moment with this guy.

De Goey must be stoked that there is someone else at Collingwood as stupid as him that can help to take the heat off him.

Who do you think was filming Ginnivan, smart from De Goey to take the heat off himself.
