AFL: Melbourne CEO Gary Pert denies culture concerns at Demons. Melbourne CEO Gary Pert has spoken out on the furore surrounding the Dees' players
Melbourne star Clayton Oliver has blamed a combination of ADHD medication, a lack of sleep from stress and a big first day back at the gym for the shock collapse that saw him rushed to hospital earlier this month.– with Smith revealed as the player who tested positive for cocaine after the Round 23 game against Hawthorn, for which he’s facing a three-month suspension.“It’s been a little bit stressful – it usually doesn’t get to me,” he told 7NEWS on Tuesday.
“This isn’t something that has just reared its head in recent times. This is something that has been ongoing for our footy club and ongoing for our team for a number of years. “If he can’t come along with our culture, there will be some consequences that come with that and we need to be in a position where we can drive our high-performance culture and Clayton is a big part of that,” he said.
