I imagine you'd feel totally ratshit after that which is a punishment.
And then the club would probably give you a whack for doing it in-season. Yeah, have a drink, but drink yourself into hospital is another thing entirely.
In fact you'd think most clubs would issue some kind of suspension/punishment if that happened. And that you wouldn't front up to training the same day. So... something else happened.

Running laps I guess that's fronting up to training.

Yes but mind you after reading their thread it seems like if you go out in Victoria it’s guaranteed you will have your drink spiked. Some of the Geelong supporters have had it done multiple times….umm what.
Anything from the AFL about it?

Just the normal then.
If this had happened when he was with us, the AFL would already have a person in Adelaide investigating. We would have stood him down for the rest of the season and offered some draft pick sanctions.

How about don't leave your drink without keeping an eye on it...
... or not taking illicit substances before having your beer.

I think being done by the cops for possession is less of a big deal compared to being unconscious

A lot of pearl-clutching in this thread.
A lot of "we want someone else to go really hard at Stengle so it justifies our belligerent response to his issues".
They won't do the same, he'll probably get another AA nod whilst we have Lachie ****ing Murphy keeping shape in our forward line.

Drink spiking does happen, but not sure how common.
When 1st came aware of it, just made sure to keep an eye on my drink or a mate does of in need of a pit stop.
What is the purpose of spiking someone’s drink and why would it be done to Stengle?

Men have done it to women to get them drousy for sex.
As for doing to men, not sure, but perhaps just for kicks.
Does happen though, so must be a reason why they do it.
Btw, I don't believe Stengle's drink was spiked...
You would think so...
If it was true, wouldn't there be some evidence? Blood test at the hospital? Urine test?
A person brought into hospital unconscious would definitely be tested for what drugs are in their system.

If he was spiked (which I doubt) it is a big story.
If not, AFL player taking illicit substances on a night out is not a big story at all.
The only time the AFL media does anything about it is one there is photo or video of a player doing it and it can’t be swept under the rug.
Personally, I don’t think it’s up to the AFL to police what players do on a night out. As long as it’s not in their system on game days then to each their own. What does bother me is the faux outrage, particularly from people who would be fully aware of what the reality is.

What kind of world are we living in. Can't even leave your drink alone for 2 minutes to go and hoover some schneef in the dunnies without it getting spiked.
I am heading to Melbourne in November. I for one will be leaving my drink unattended as much as humanly possible and hoping for the best!
Sounds like a cheap night out.

The key words here are “found unresponsive”. That’s the rough equivalent of a high impact concussion on a footy field. What were the medical advice…sure, you can train the next day, go ahead!…?
How the GFC not ensuring him to rest the following day instead of training is rather baffling. The AFL in the least should get a “please explain” because there seems to be 2 ways to approach this:

- medical issue: needs to be rested instead of training
- drug-related incident: needs to be penalised and not be training.
I personally think its an absolute joke he is playing this week.
felt like a “look, he’s training - it wasn’t that bad!” moment to me

Got a feeling he may be a late out... but you would have thought the AFL would have ruled him out for a week like a concussion case.
