GWS have fired development boss Robbie Chancellor after he pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine.

Chancellor was arrested by undercover police buying cocaine while going for a jog near his Marrickville home in December.

The arrest came just three months after he joined GWS as the club’s new head of development.

Chancellor has since pleaded guilty to the charge and is due to be sentenced in March.

The developments are a major embarrassment for the Giants as they attempt to rebuild the squad following the departure of a host of stars at the end of last season.

Tanner Bruhn (Geelong), Bobby Hill (Collingwood), Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto (both Richmond) were the latest players to leave the club, while coach Leon Cameron stood down in May last year.
