Well,young Stokes will have his chance to do a Deal with the Prosecution and still keep his Career going,or.........
Hope he’s SMART and TURNS ‘EM IN!And if they TOUCH Him for it,they’d better get out of GEEELONG before they get LYNCHED!
If I knew more about LOVETT(albeit on a different matter) at his SHENNANIGANS at ESSENDON,I may have been TONY GREIG like in calling for his SACKING!That is without the worry of being called a HYPOCRITE like GREG CHAPPELL Labelled him so after UNDERARM!
hindsight is a wonderful thing. stokes dobbing lynchpins in would be like an underbelly episode,sooner or later your DEAD cousins wasn’t stupid, and don’t think for a moment he didn’t reassure the lynchpins their cover would NEVER be blown, otherwise cremation
Unless of course,a WHOLE COMMUNITY knows who they are and AGAIN if they touch a Hair on STOKES’ Head,they May be DEAD!Bit of FORESIGHT for them to SUCK ON if STOKES turns on ‘em!Still,we’ll know sooner or later how he turns on this.
If Matthew Stokes if found guilty of the charges laid against him I hope the AFL comes down harder on Geelong than they did on the Eagles. Anything less than the pounding the Eagles got from the AFL would be hypocrisy. Unfortunately I can see Andrew and Adrian getting a wet lettuce leaf ready to slap the Cats over the wrist with.
If Cousin’s actions brought the game into disrepute then a guilty verdict on the charges laid against Stokes would do that and a whole lot more.
While I have no sympathy for Stokes (noting he is charged and not yet found guilty, but certainly not looking good) can you please remind me of exactly what was the “pounding” the weagles got from the AFL.
And grassy has made very valid points about whether or not Geelong had knowledge. And I don’t at all the theory that if he was selling drugs the club had to know. This one seems to have come straight out of the blue.
The Cousins stench had been around for years and in the end no great surprise to anyone was the result.
As i said in another thread i have no sympathy for Stokes. Maybe the diff between Cats and Eags in this case is that as this stage it is one player. Eags had multiple players “suspected”, thats before some other unsavoury off field incidents had happened
I think it’s a bit different than the Eags episode unk. I believe that the WCE operated under the old “inhouse” theory that has been around for a hundred years. The media, looking for a bit of sensationalism were relentless and the WCE paid a price, as they should have. That’s why I think the Cats are innocent here. No club (you would think) would deliberately cover something like this up. (Maybe the 2 ‘C’ clubs would!) People have no sympathy for Stokes...I do. We all form an opinion before we know the real story, or know the real reasons. Some people (plenty on this site), suddenly jump on their “holier than thou” soap boxes. For me, the boy’s mistake is a naive indiscretion until the full story comes out. Let’s not hang him for stealing an apple untill it’s proved he stole the whole barrel. If he’s as bad as the press is saying, then I’ll change my stance.
Back off with the “2 “c” clubs” Bullshit.
One word...Cocaine
EVERYONE knows cocaine is illegal, therefore Stokes is guilty as charged.
Problem with punishment is the whole WCE/Cousins affair - we now have a major issue here, Cousins was and (finally) admitted to being a drug addict, yet only got a 12mth ban and came back a **** hero.
This kid apparently bought a mate 1 gram of coke (I find this hard to believe) how could anyone be so stupid...bad luck suspend him for a 12mth period, same as Cousins....end of story

So what are you saying,"supplying is the same as using”
I would say it is worse. Using only hurts yourself. Dealing helps to spread the filth throughout the community which expands into extra crime and health problems.
a mate down the pub who is a cat through and through.
his words - yoiu cant compare cousins and stokes.
cousins was a user , stokes was a supplier get it kr west coast hater and collingwood acknowledger of a lopsided draw care of mayor eddie
HR puff and stuff...puffing away again. I reckon the world would struggle to find a bigger oxygen theif than your good self.
If you seriously think Cousins didn’t “supply” then you are seriously deluded. You are saying Stokes is a supplier...he had 1 **** gram. Do you know how much that is? Grab a hold of that cock of yours...thats what a gram weighs..Sweet F all. He said he bought it for a mate...stupoid stupid boy… do you think Cousins NEVER bought any drugs for his mates???
Drugs are drugs and Stokes needs to be made accountable for his actions. Hopefully this won’t be a circus like the Cousins fiasco and drag on and on. Ban him and **** him off...simple.
Fact is you WCE wankers are loving this to try and take the heat off the Cousins wankfest...wrong!!!
OH and HR...we know you are a liar...you have NO mates!!!

I thought the heat had gone out of this 12 months ago......an old story continually bought up by people like “your good self”. Don’t see a lot of point in it, myself. Let’s talk/argue/discuss something a little more topical.

4 months of phone taps trying to nab him just for that? I doubt it.
He appears to have been dealing more though only caught the once and that is what this charge relates to.
If you can assume Cousins was a dealer, KR, because he took the stuff himself and because of his circle of friends, surely it is reasonably to assume Stokes did not pick up 1 gram of coke for a mate on one occasion having never done it before and never intending to do it again.

have a look at your paragraphs KockRoach, i thought i was on your christmas list.
fair bit of piss went into that comment.
i am a liar and and thief my wife asked me last week why i was nearly crying laughing .
i said i was accused of being a liar and thief by a magpie supporter. all i needed was to be accused of cheating and smelling and i would be challenging the bozo in the gold jacket for presidency of the dumb arse supporters club.
one thing that shits me beyond is these mexicans who move to WA from the east and tell all and sundry whats farked about the state and footy clubs/players and tell us what we need to fix it whilst taking their mining wage they would never get living in “utopia” where they came from.
then when we dont bend we are backwards. extremely one sided motherfarkers who are continually taken to the point of biased. the word that springs to mind is parasites.
not happy the way we are - fark off. couldnt earn a sweat over there so come here to pollute our great state.
as for stokes, have a look at your comments dickhead, no west coast supporter is gloating, drugs in sport is a no no full stop.
we dont gloat it’s another club under the heat. stokes supposedly bought for a mate. bullshit. is his mate a user, if so why didnt he just buy himself. if he isnt a user, why did stokes buy - familiarity.
did the afl blood test stokes when this all came out, if so you may have found coke in his system.

How am I a hypocrite? Drugs are drugs and he needs to go, something WCE and the AFL should’ve when it was first brought to their attention!!!
