Hope the kid's okay and doesn't get delisted

Travis could be anything. Has enormous ability.

Hope he turns it around. As a player with no off field issues I'd welcome him at Richmond with open arms.

Travis is lucky to be still alive if it was GBH. You'd hope he wasn't driving around while on drugs or he could have killed someone.

Has enormous ability  you stupid boy. Well he has never shown it playing football, maybe sucking on a crack pipe he has enormous ability.
He is history,  if you dont learn after 2 strikes well the 3rd one is your job. Dont keep druggies in the workforce. They cost peoples lives working next to them.

l dont feel any pity for drug addicts. make a example out of him.
the 3 strike policy is in place to help them. He has refused to help himself so he should be made a example.
l can name alot more players in the festing drug scene of the AFL. Its been rife for years. Time to stamp it out.

We don't know if he hasn't tried to get help. This could be a relapse of his addiction. Travis was obviously one of the two two-strikers the AFL mentioned earlier this year out of the 12 with at least one strike.

The AFL though may throw the book at him as an example and to look tough on drugs. If Travis is banned for 16 weeks then footy can't abandon him. He obviously needs help and treatment for his drug addiction just as Cuz did. You've got to feel for Shane, Michael and the rest of the Tuck family.

No Sympathy at all, time to stamp drugs out of the game.
If the AFL was serious on drugs they will end this addicts AFL career

oh BTW l can tell you 100% he has been given a load of help but refuses to help himself.

[mightytiges]

If they wanted to stamp drugs out of the game they'd ban Pie fans from going to games 

Seriously though Travis is obviously a drug addict so can he help himself? Rational thinking goes out of the window when an addict is craving their next hit.

Well sorry but there are no excuses. The support out there these days is huge & has been for decades. The young people these days thrive on drugs & think they are indestructable. l hope he is being charged also for driving under the influence of drugs & charged with using drugs. We have scrapped youngsters off the roads many times through drugs & thats not counting those who survive. l'm just glad he was caught now before he killed some innocent person, someones mother, father, sister or brother. l hope he now see's the light & gives him fight to overcome his addiction before he dies from his drug addiction.  It will not be long before the 1st AFL player dies on the ground from complications of drug abuse.
You got to be a very fit & strong person to make it onto the ground being a drug user. Only problem is the methods they use to elude testers is fast catching upto all users. The AFL will be increasing testing next season. Maybe they should also start testing the umpires & some who hold positions in the AFL because of the stupid decisions made. & test the MRP cause something is amiss with them

BTW to the whole of OER I can tell you 100% TM has no idea what he's talking about. On this issue and everything else. You don't seriously think anyone on here is dumb enough to believe that you know the private and inner sanctrum medical details of either Hawthorn or Travis Tucks life.

That is slop on a plate TM....

No evidence he was driving the car, no reports keys weer in ignition or a warm motor. He probably went to his car for shelter.

" It will not be long before the 1st AFL player dies on the ground from complications of drug abuse." Lololol.. just stop.... its embarrassing..

Your knowledge of this issue is pre school level. Best for everyone you don't have an opinion.

Who cares about being humane, lets throw him out on the street, unemployed and depressed.

Lets make an example out of him, maybe he'll die and that'll show all those evil drug addicts..

Grow up TM..
