Collingwood great Tony Shaw has bluntly told former teammate Gavin Crosisca on live radio that he would have sacked him if he was aware of his ongoing illicit drug problem during his decorated playing days.
The pair famously won a AFL premiership together in 1900 - but Shaw didn't hesitate to say he would have shown Crosisca the door.
They were discussing the code's policy on drugs in light of reports up to 100 players have reportedly been granted secret immunity under the sport's three-strike policy.
Last week the AFL was rocked after Independent Tasmanian MP Andrew Wilkie told federal parliament about accusations raised by former Melbourne Demons club doctor Zeeshan Arain and football club president Glen Bartlett.
Wilkie alleged that footy stars who tested positive for drugs in secret tests would then fake injuries to avoid testing positive on game days.
