SHANE Crawford has backed the proposed earlier involvement of the AFL clubs in finding out if their players have recorded a positive strike.
The former Hawthorn star said AFL clubs - and potentially teammates - could play a significant role in assisting players.
Crawford said he had no idea that former teammate Travis Tuck had any issues with illicit drugs before Tuck became the only player to have tested positive on three occasions in 2010.
"The biggest area for me is knowing when a player has transgressed," Crawford said.
"I was at Hawthorn for a few years with Travis and never realised that there was an issue until he got a third strike.
"It is very hard to help a person if you don't know anything."
Crawford said club officials - and possibly the leadership group - should be told after a player's second strike, so they had the chance to address the issue before a suspension occurred.
Currently, only the club doctor finds out after a positive strike.
"I think it would certainly help if the club finds out earlier," Crawford said. "The player who transgressed might not like it, but it might actually help him. The more support these players can get, the better.
"Footy can be a great, caring environment and the players might be able to give a helping hand."
