FORMER AFL Perth player manager Angie Papadopoulos — who managed several high-profile West Coast Eagles — has faced court on Monday charged over a $1 million methamphetamine seizure.

The manager, who is understood to overseen the careers of West Coast Eagle Premisership superstars Dean Kemp and Glen Jakovich, was also reportedly accused of being part of an organised crime syndicate when he appeared in Joondalup Magistrates Court.

It was initally reported that Mr Papadopoulos managed Eagles full forward Peter Smuich, but the fomer Eagles sharpshooter confirmed that he was never managed by him.

Mr Papadopoulos has been in custody since Saturday afternoon when he and Anthony La Bianca, 60, were arrested in a road side police stop.

Both men are charged with possession of amphetamine with intent to sell or supply the drug.

The two men were travelling in a Toyota Landcruiser about 4.40pm on Mitchell Freeway when they were pulled over by detectives in a routine police traffic stop.

Detectives found about 1kg of methamphetamine in the passenger side footwell in a green canvas shopping bag.

They also found a further 1.6kg of the drug in a sealed plastic bag and $5000 in the car.

Prosecutors opposed bail for Mr Papadopoulos, alleging he was a member of a crime gang, that associates could lead him to further offending if released and that potential witnesses to the case could be “interfered with.’’

The magistrate said he will need further information on the alleged crime gang links before making a decision on bail later this week.
