So what exactly are people suggesting here, everyone's beating around the bush somewhat?
Hope he can recover soon and give Sydney some return on their 100million investment.
Doesnt look like it will be this year that the Swans get one of the 2 or 3 flags that Buddy and Tippet were meant to deliver.
From what i heard, alledegly the situation is very similar to Ben Cousins in that it was very well known by the AFL and Hawthorn of the problems he had, a combination of his on field ability and his star power to attract people to games it appears these issues he was suffering from were somewhat hidden, swept under the carpet, not attended to as attently as they should have because of the overriding benefit to the other parties.
From what ive been told is that why there was always rumous persisting Sydney were assured by various parties that these rumours were nothing more than just rumours.
Imho this is gonna play out in a huge way and may see both Hawthorn and the AFL in some serious strife.
