Former Hawthorn young gun Dayle Garlett has admitted a methylamphetamine problem which he developed in Melbourne led him to commit burglaries in Perth to feed his addiction.

The 20-year-old was today sentenced to community service and placed on an intensive supervision order, after pleading guilty to two burglaries and receiving stolen goods earlier this year.

The Swan Districts product in May bought iPads and jewellery for $350 knowing they were stolen, and then in July broke into the former home of a friend in Midvale and stole a purse and phone belonging to a cleaner.

Then in September he broke into another house in Greenmount with an associate and ransacked it, stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats and a phone worth more than $4500.

Garlett, who quit the Hawks in March this year, has spent nearly two months in prison awaiting today's sentencing hearing.

After his guilty pleas were entered, Perth magistrate Paul Heany told the court how Garlett had revealed to a psychiatrist he had developed a meth addition while in Melbourne and on his return to Perth turned to crime to feed it.

All Garlett's earnings from AFL football were gone, the magistrate said, and he would have to rely on Centrelink on his release from prison.

The court was told that Garlett hopes to return to train with his former WAFL club Swan Districts later this month.

Garlett will be subject of a supervision order for 12 months, and will have to perform 60 hours of community service. He was also ordered to repay nearly $5000 to the victim of his last burglary

East Perth boys at it again

http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/wafl-player-faces-drugs-scrutiny-with-speculation-rife-he-returned-a-positive-swab-after-grand-final/story-fniv6150-1227157846415

WESTERN Australian football is bracing for another illegal drugs scandal.

Speculation is rife that a WAFL player has returned a positive swab from this year's local Grand Final and is facing an Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority ban of up to two years.

The player is understood to be a member of losing WAFL grand final team East Perth, which was aligned this year for a first time with the West Coast Eagles.

WA Football Commission authorities refused to comment on whether a player has tested positive to a banned drug.

East Perth is expected to make a statement on the player's behalf if authorities confirm the positive sample, the alleged drug and a penalty.

The substance is believed to be an illegal social drug and not a recognised banned performance-enhancing material.

A urine sample is said to have been taken after the Grand Final and has been diagnosed as positive at both A and B tests.

East Perth lost the premiership play-off to Subiaco by 16 points on September 21.

East Perth has had two players banned for positive drugs within the past four seasons.

One-time AFL draft hopeful Dean Cadwallader was banned for two years in early 2010 when he tested positive to anabolic steroid nandrolone.

Another Royals player, Kane Godwin, was then banned a year later when he was found guilty of performance-enhancing drug use.

Under ASADA and AFL-affiliated leagues, if illegal substances are detected on match days, players still face penalties for in-competition use to enhance performance.

Swan Districts player Travis Casserly was banned for two years after his side won the 2010 WAFL premiership by just one point over Claremont.

He tested positive to elevated levels of pseudoephedrine that Casserly claimed was from tablets he took to fight flu and cold symptoms before the match and at half-time.

Casserly had been on Richmond's senior list from 2006-08 before returning to Swans.

Copy and paste bug got ya Ric.

I still remember Casserly being one of the guys we picked up in that shocker 2005 draft with Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls and Cleve Hughes.

[Ricochet]

Yeh fixed it up.

Casserly was a pretty handy player actually. Its a shame he got that ridiculous punishment for cold and flu tablets, because Richmond were going to re-rookie him after that GF
