Club kinda threw him under the bus hey. You'd really think in a pro environment like the AFL, that the club would be well on top of making players aware of updates to the substance list.
Yes it is unfortunate for any elite athletes to have their careers cut short. Wether it be A.F.L. or badminton. Yes for some it's due to injury. For others it can be trying to deal with situational crisis. Or underlying personal issues due to past unresolved trauma . The message being reach out , get the right support, no shame!. It's takes courage to accept, courage to express, and then we move forward .
Maybe showing my age buuuut - Damian Cupido (Brisbane & Essendon), Daniel Connors (Richmond), Nathan O’Keefe (North Melbourne), Travis Tuck (Hawthorn), Liam Jurrah (Melbourne), Andrew Lovett (Essendon & St Kilda), Ben Cousins (West Coast & Richmond), Justin Charles (Footscray & Richmond), Campbell Brown (Hawthorn & Gold Coast), Tarryn Thomas (North Melbourne), Wayne Carey (North Melbourne & Adelaide), Jonathon Ross (Collingwood), Trent Hotton (Collingwood, Carlton & maybe even Richmond). Re: Angwin. Guy could/would/should have been as good as Darcy Moore & Harris Andrews.
Also perhaps a bit crude & unfair but McCarthy (Collingwood & Port Adelaide) technically falls into this category but certainly doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with everyone else.
I would often see Damian Cupido while having lunch just down from Windy Hill. You would have sworn he was a combination of Usher and Garry Ablett the way he swaggered about. Last time I heard about him he was hanging curtains and gambling his money away.
@@nathand4500 Yep. Shagged Stevos missus and went from being the captain of a club that made a prelim 18 months earlier to leaving the club in disgrace and missing the entire 2002 season.
Hardly think it ruined his career. He's the best CHF in history by an absolute mile. All the others fucked up promising careers and squandered their potential.@@Spotter_Loader
As soon as I saw this vid I thought of Laurence Angwin. I'm of the same age and know a few blokes around the club at the time. Pretty much everyone knew he was trouble and stayed tf away from him (apart from dim follower types like Karl Norman)
Can you please pin this comment🙏
No
Can you please get a life ??? Cmon kid, your better than this. You don't need these little self esteem falsities
Damn I feel bad for saad that's not his fault
Yeah true, he seems like a decent bloke too, just really unlucky.

@@lzrdwzrd999 AFL is fine with cocaine but not Saad's protein shake
Always loved that goal Saad kicked against the blues, it’s a shame his career was cut short like that
Truly, he should’ve had a second chance somewhere else. He’s dominating the local league now
The algorithm says I should be here and I am not fighting it. Great vid.
The algorithm knows best! Thanks mate 🤝
Some of these are just truly sad stories, honestly.
Sam Murray for Collingwood a few years a go is a good one. Played a few really good games then was banned due to taking cocaine.
Crazy looking back considering what’s going on right now in the league ❄️

Talent only goes so far
💯
Tad ironic saad got punished after all the actual junkies getting protected now
Yeah, the AFL should be more like cycling 😂😂
StKilda as a club has squandered its opportunities.
Hi mate new subscriber here, love the content keep up the great work 👍!!

Yaz still breaks my heart
The was nothing instant about Bennell’s situation…. Coulda said what Yarra was jailed for too….
Bit harsh on Bennell, bloke kept getting injured.

Yeah he was supposed to be a gun though, I remember hearing about him before he got done when I was really little
Joel Smith.
streets wont forget
Shane Yarran ruined his career imo
Bootsma 😳🤦🏾 wow
Liam Jurrah?
For the Tiges in recent times, Sydney Stack for sure. Will always remember that bump on Viney, could have been anything but threw it away
He was never afl standard mate.
@@timhunter7441 His first season was solid, but you may be right. Bit of a flash in the pan type player
Shultz messed up big leaving freo
Seems that way so far let’s see if he turns it around
@@flairfootyjust settling into a new team
Did he? Or is he gonna win a flag this century
wtf he’s like 4 games into playing for his new club. Regardless id rather play for Collingwood than Fremantle regardless of ladder positions.
@@Comatosedpeanut why collingwood are worse.
Also hes definitley settling into a new team
Yarran played 100 games... thats 99.9 more than the average
How do you play 0.1 games?
North Melbourne Jim and Phil
Saad deserved a chance
Tarryn Thomas
Cough cough Ben cousins
Liam Jurrah
people dont realise how hard it is for the indigenous boys to join afl and leave their community
