Sydney defender Michael Talia has been given a 12 month good behaviour bond after pleading guilty to drug possession charges.
Talia was arrested in Sydney last month after being caught in possession of cocaine in the early hours of Sunday July 17th, after the match between Hawthorn and Sydney at the SCG.
The 23-year-old was stood down by the club indefinitely following the incident.
