Gould is out of his depth here. He's a year older than me, but he seems like a moralising old man, who doesn't know what he's talking about. He's around players as the central part of his working life and yet he seems to know next to nothing about the culture of young people.

Should have got Gould to learn a bit about recreational drug use and dependency before he did this. Dropping an eccy now and then doesn't necessarily mean you've got a problem. Like the name says, it's recreational. It's fun. The majority of people using ecstasy lead totally normal young lives.

Why was he made an Immortal? Sort of lowers the standard of the other immortals. Is it just me, did I miss something ? Cochin is rampant in many league teams in state comps so who would not think it was also common at higher levels. John’s body language was saying the opposite to many answers he gave.

3 years later and he’s one of the greatest ever, Coops is a legend but Cleary’s taken it to another level

And he's still on drugs lol.

From what Joey is describing, around 9:25ish & onwards, is classic Bi-Polar Disorder, I know it all too well & have had it since my mid-teens, I'm now 48 & only medication keeps it under control. Intense "natural" highs that can last for days, getting more & more erratic, until you become so over the top with delusions of grandeur & constant uncontrollable thoughts that you invariably crash so hard & wear yourself out to the point that you can barely function & become beyond depressed & in my case incredibly sad. Like falling into a bottomless pit of misery & hopelessness. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. That's why he was probably drawn to the alcohol & particularly to the drugs, to escape the constant up & down cycle & to try & get the same highs he would get before being medicated. The drugs used to treat these disorders stop the overwhelming depression but at a cost because they also stop you getting the "highs" & make you feel very flat & dumbed down. I think he was very brave doing this interview.

You tend to forget stuff when you're wasted

He’s still doing the gear today lol I bumped into him at Tollgate pub in North Parra and he went to the bar to collect some money and left and his face said it all 😂😂😂

Gus dressed like a flashy real estate agent 😂

Imagine if NRL players did this today lol . Social media meltdown

Gus so serious lol

This was ridiculous. They're human, it gave them no reason to treat people like theyre rapist or something 😂, its a fkn party drug. If drinkng culture ( A consumable DRUG) is allowed theyre just being hypocritical. Lmao

For sure he had borderline positive tests and the club tipped it down the toilet to keep their star on the field 😂

He was always going to use it with the girls and go private. No big deal ✌

Caffeine is a drug and so is alcohol 😂😂😂

I ❤ X

God he's a full on dickhead, thee worst commentator in the history of sport he just dribbles on with nothing but shit

Don’t need to explain yourself Andrew. Tell him to go and get…. !

Gus thinks he’s Derrin Hinch in this interview. 😆

He shouldve bought a ticket

darn, should got the bus from the church to the reddie (redback tavern ) instead of the tube, all woulda been sweet. Johnny woulda been dancing till close at the reddie

Appreciate his honesty

The only effect I'm seeing here is the dulling and numbing of the antidepressants. Now theyre micro-dosing PTSD patients with MDMA.

Now we hear at least every month a star player getting caught with something with no media blowout. This was blown way out of proportion, and good on Joey for fronting the media about this.

I remember leaving the church in a haze many times, very believable 😊

The real demon here is alcohol. If he wasn't drunk he wouldn't have had the desire to use ecstasy.

Greg Alexander can't get a Hall of Fame claim and this arse was an Immortal??? The Fluff?

One of if not Australia's greatest actors

BIG UPS ANDREW JOEY JOHNS U DA MAN THE BEST EVER LESSS GO THE MIGHTY NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS 💪

Now every off season, players beat their gfs and piss on patrons in gaming rooms, this is nothing now

Airing out his mental health issues over this was an absolute disgrace for the media. Good on him for fronting up to this, I didn't realise how big a story this was at the time.

yeah she trip and landed on his dick as well

Thurston

What a gun 😂 Bro was on the gear and one of the best

lol he’s on something now during the interview, chewing his lips.

the tigers ballboy was so cute cheering him up

This kid could be anything.

created a monster ngl

North Sydney. Rooster 🐔

They should keep the ice hockey style of fights in rugby would make it so much more crazy and fun and have real man fight it out instead of guys just barking 💪

Rugby League is a sport where a lot of uncontrolled aggression where it is isn’t necessary, keep your stupidity off the field

Love this. Should’ve let ‘em play on

He definitely missed it on purpose

Have even more respect for the man after seeing this. He is one of most honest sports stars you will ever see. Gus it appears that time has never really agreed with you you judgmental old prik🙃 Still respect your opinion mostly on refs😂

I’ll never forget him giving us the finger when we shouted out: “Joey pass us a pill will ya!” At Mt Smart Stadium knights v Warriors 2012 😂

looks so much better in broncos jersey

Maybe he’s still on drugs?? He aggressively pushed me out of a doorway at a petrol station the other day!

Cam smith is blind or something cuz there was a ref right in front of him 😂
