Re: Daniel Chick

Subscriber article. Can anyone post it?

Disappointing that the story has turned around onto Chick and the timing of the release. Maximum exposure here is a good thing.

The Eagles were a disgrace during the whole period and Worsfold apparently not knowing anything about it is rubbish.

Re: Daniel Chick

The story says that he, Cousins and Kerr had medical exemptions from WADA due to their asthma but then goes on to say they never used it therapeutically but binged on it before during and after games.

Thanks for clarifying - assuming that was in the (known Hawks fan) Panahi article? I only read The Age piece.

Re: Daniel Chick

From all reports at the time, Chick was allegedly one of the main ring leaders and it was a lot more than prescription drugs.

I wonder if he did anything like that at The Hawks

The article gives accolades to the culture at Hawthorn and suggests that the drug issue did not arise until he went to West Coast.

No club would have been exempt from drug use today or in Chicks day.

That is true, but the difference inferred by the article is that Hawthorn were concerned with player welfare, while West Coast flagrantly ignored and in fact facilitated the use of various drugs.

Wouldn't need to be a long bow to suggest that's why he was traded out of the club.

Just wondering if you think this would have/does include the Western Bulldogs. An Essendon supporter friend claimed they are hard done by because they admitted to something many clubs would do but not admit.

Would be a long bow.

Chick requested the trade to be with his family after the sudden death of his brother due to anaphylactic shock. His wife of the time tried vainly to get him to stay in Melbourne and Hawthorn were reluctant but agreed to trade him.

This was also well documented at the time of the trade.

No worries. I am amused to see ripper Rita's foray into 'real' journalism after all her righteous indignance about other clubs is an expose on a former Hawthorn player. I'm suprised to see the Hawks survived her searching probe of their culture unscathed.

Re: Daniel Chick

I believe it does raise the red cell count, but from what I know it is predominately in older female users.

Well he is an old Chick.

Don't bother, I'll see myself out.

So disappointing to read articles like this. I don't know what the fix is, but it does bring me down.

Some North players were on the 'pink lady' during recovery for the Grand Final replay V Collingwood in 70 whatever. Krackers is on record as saying so. Pink lady is morphine and something else.

I'm not big on details as you can tell.
