Two strikes enough

The AFL's drug policy debate continues to rage.
The three strike policy has always been a hot topic.
It's on the agenda again now that Travis Tuck has been exposed.
I've said for a long time that a player needs at least one chance before being named. We draft young kids out of school, and send them all over the country, away from family and friends.
Peer pressure could cause a young man to do silly things. He needs a second chance.
That's why I've said a two strike policy sits well with me before naming and shaming.
Some critics like Patrick Smith believe in a one strike and you're exposed, others say the three strike policy is just right.
I believe if Travis Tuck was named after two strikes, he might have been in a better place than he was on Friday night.
