19 Year old Essendon player assaults Taxi driver

[TwiggleyFanClub]

As for the whole situation while I would rather it not to have occured its not the end of the world, like many have said he is 19 was probably drunk and at 5:30am things can happen, its not the end of the world lets not execute him. As long as he can still do what he does on the field I'm very happy

That's all well and good, but even if you're drunk there are other ways to handle yourself.

#1 - Pay him and be on your way.
#2 - throw a $20 at him, tell him to f off and be on your way.
#3 - kick him in the nuts and punch him.

The guy would have been half his size. Pretty poor effort.

 

[Brent Prismall#9]

In all seriousness which foot do you reckon he kicked him with, his shown he can roast one 55 metres out with his left

 

[bombermick]

Oh dear. What is with footballer's making ********s of themselves? Beating up a Taxi driver ... tough guy. Let's hope he learns from this, as much as I want him to be the next Carey, keep it to the on-field heroics.

No one here knows any accurate details, so I'd suggest we wait until EFC releases a statement later on today.

For all the opposition supporters on their high horses, talking about how terrible Essendon's culture is and what not, would you pick the kid up if we delisted him?

Hmm, I thought so.

If you were the AFL would you send Essendon a please explain and have Hurley charged with bringing the game into disrepute. If he is charged?

Buddy was recently involved in an altercation. Are you expecting a please explain?

 

[4#Didak#4]

Just the news all Carlton fans & the Carlton administrators needed, what a fantastic distraction.

The AFL will be seriously annoyed after their big ad campaign on responsible drinking & assaults.

Everyone can now proceed to post the word "Culture" on the Essendon boards.

 

[PooMonkey]

Buddy was hit, he did not hit anybody else...

Especially not someone doing him a service, such as driving him home!

Should be sacked!

i think its time for the AFL to investigate essendon's culture. for too long there has been a history of violence associated with essendon.

 

[TeamHurley]

Answer my question

lol.

Mcchawk.....u post around here like your a queen's council or something.
The truth is you are just another hawthorn flog with a chip on his shoulder about round 22.

If hurley assualted a taxi driver then Im sure he will get appropriate punishment from the club and or the AFL. And I am willing to be my big footy life that it wont be delisting.. you up for that??

Wait for the press conference to come out. Wait for the facts. Quit your hating and get out a bit more. You are honestly on here 24/7 bagging out the EFC. Its unhealthy.

To many flogs on here getting to much pleasure out of this. I for one want to see Hurley develop and play and thats what I would want if he played for another team. Even if it was hawthorn.

 

[NT.Thunder]

He should immediately be traded to the Pies if he has issues with the Law.

We are the best in dealing with the friendly constabulary.

Can you imagine what the local cop shop looks like with all our players mug shots up on the wall. Me thinks the law loves the Pies but are too tight to fork out some coin to buy a Team poster to pin so they just arrest us and put their mug shots up instead.

"too long"? Examples. I can think of one proven example, which came from a player no longer at the club.

There's no point speculating until we get some facts on this issue.

 

[The King!]

essendon have to delist him




so we can draft him

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Needs to be sacked immediately.

 

[JUBJUB]

The cabbie, believed to be an Indian man, received minor injuries in the incident

Hun story

Why did the Hun need to mention the cabbies nationality ?
Unless it has something to do with the incident it doesn't matter if he was Indian,Sri Lankan,a Kiwi,Pom or an Aussie.

 

[Bloben]

The truth will come out but this sounds like very poor form by Hurley however you can draw parallels with the Dane Swan incident.

Dane was nearly sacked from the club, admittedly he hadn't shown the promise of Hurley at that stage however the club gave him a chance. The kid sounds like a knob of a bloke when drunk however he is a kid. He should be dragged over hot coals and made to wake up to himself but be given a chance.

It's the way the mass media operates and it is a ****en joke.

If the cabbie was Anglo English then nothing would be mentioned. People wonder why we have some many problems with racisim. Well it's because of subtle things like this. The bloke could be a 3rd generation Aussie with Indian heritage but it will be reported as 'an Indian'.

Same with the bashing at QBH. It wasn't just a 'gang', it was an 'asian gang'.

Also gives the papers a chance to link this incident to Brumby being over in India at the moment. Watch Channel 9 news run with this story as the headline, leading nicley into an update on Brumby's tour of India, followed by a montage of Indian student protests and riots.

You serious? Theres been a group of people in Sydney and Melbourne (some form of KKK type group) going around targetting and bashind Indians. Made big news over in India and tourism from that country is virtually non existant because of it. It matters alot id say.

As silly as it sounds this will make the news in India aswell...

 

[Burzum]

Should be sacked.

sorry, i was just posting the obligatory 'club XXX has a history of such incidents'.

hurley should be sacked though, traded to west coast for pick 50 odd. he's damaged goods.

You cant have him.
About time we have someone with a bit of mungrel in them.
Watch out for number 18 next year campbell Brown..........




People make mistakes.
He deserves a chance.
If you as good as Barry Hall or BRendan Fevola, you deserve lots of chances

 

[Jesse Custer]

Should be sacked.

Drag him through the streets of Melbourne and nail him to a cross.

At least the drama queens will be happy.

 

[Embers]

Should be sacked.

Can you sack a taxi driver? Arnt they self employed?

 

[saladin]

If this is true and he did "kick and punch" a taxi driver, the boy is in a heap of shit.
Will be charged with assault for starters in the criminal system and should if the club were serious about it sack him!

This is far worse than any drunken night Fev had at the Brownlow.

Fair call that all the Essendon Flogs bagging out on Fev should pull in their heads fairly swiftly!

didn't Fev belt the channel nine producer?

 

[campbell]

didn't Fev belt the channel nine producer?

mm. I assume then, IF he belted anyone that charges have been laid for assault? I must have missed that headline.

 

[jonesy86]

If what is alleged is correct then you really wonder what the ramifications could be with all the race-hate bashings of Indians lately.

Hopefully it's just blown out of proportion and he can get on with footy and life.
