I bet all those idiot journo's have pulled out their long bow's and are now scrambling to find some sort of a link between Stokes and Cuz. Was the night club security guard "The Burly Man"?? hmmm the plot thickens.....
I'm surprised the journos didn't accuse Stokes of stealing Jordie's mo lol.

The Burly Man has retired from public life so he can enjoy his lemon squash in Ackland St in peace.

GEELONG forward Mathew Stokes will not play football until at least round eight after his recent arrest for possession and trafficking cocaine, with the club handing down its sanctions on Monday afternoon.

Most of this sounds like Geelong are trying to apease the public but i think its still very soft. Considering what Cousns got while not being caught with drugs on him. Im guessing the AFL can still ad sanctions on top of that.

"Between now and round four of the AFL season, Stokes is to find full-time employment and conduct any training out of working hours"
This section in particular has me a littled baffled, what has full time employment have to do with it. He will probably get some kind of job in the pub/night club industry, how much will that help him?

They might be giving him the message that his football career is over , so a new line of employment is needed :)

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Geelong's ban will be irrelevant if he's found guilty in court of the charges and under WADA banned for a minimum of 4 years.
