Stuart MacGill arrested

[fredfertang]

For a bloke involved in drugs he's carrying a lot of timber

 

[Marius]

He’s a wine connoisseur with a preference for white line.

Enjoys some Cape red paired with Colombian white, perhaps.

 

[Adders]

Blokes providing an important and valuable service imo.

 

[Chrish]

Sad.. always took him as a mature mild-mannered player.

What makes you say he isn’t?

Apparently you can’t do drugs and be mature or mild mannered. Huh.

Tbf cocaine and mild manners aren’t usually found together

I remember Mcgill and Bichel from that era and they were too nice of blokes to be Aussie.

None of their other team members doing cocaine would have surprised me..

Interesting take. Sure you're not mistaking MacGill for someone else?

Nope.

Yeah, MacGill and 'nice bloke' are not two things I would think go hand in hand.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Probably one of the ****iest of that Aus squad tbh. But he maybe he was too subtle about it for casual audiences

 

[Chubb]

Think it’s that he went against a lot of Aussie stereotypes including being a wine over beer guy. And the perception he didn’t fit in with a team culture a lot of non Aussies disliked made people think he was one of the good ones, when he was just ****ty in a different way.

 

[Chrish]

I am curious what made him a ****ty guy.. I don’t recall him sledging/ abusing the opposition players or getting in heat with the umpires that his teammates were known for. In general, I don’t remember him ever being a dick on the field.

Well he was no Harbhajan but "being a dick on the field" isn't the only definition of a **** bloke

Guys like Warne & Ponting were top blokes who often behaved like ****s on the field. MacGill was a **** bloke that mostly minded his own business on the field

My judgement is based on his on-field persona.

Ponting and Warne weren’t exactly saints during their playing days off-the field tbh..

Warne was more of a god off the field than he was on it

I suppose you do endorse trying to snatch a camera from a teenager’s hand when he took a picture of you smoking (after you accepted sponsorship from a nicotine patch company in return for quitting smoking) ??
