AFL great Adam Goodes got the call every landlord dreads - his multimillion-dollar investment property had been used to grow drugs.
The former Sydney Swans star bought the five-bedroom house in Kensington for $2.2 million in 2007, years before his retirement in 2015.
But after more than a decade of decent tenants, the Milroy Avenue home was raided by police as part of a $1 million cannabis bust across Sydney.
Inside, officers allegedly found a sophisticated hydroponic set up with 62 cannabis plants across the 692sqm property.
