Midfielder Tom Atkins, 29, will appear in the Geelong Magistrates Court on December 5 for his alleged involvement in a major three-vehicle collision in Wallington last year.

It is alleged his vehicle veered onto the wrong side of Grubb Rd about 7.30pm on August 9, sparking a police probe.


Might have been picking up ol' mate Steggles from the pub and rushing him home to tuck him into bed after his big night out.

That doesn't sound good at all
 
Another pedant who must be fun at parties. You and old mate Strapping Young Lad are the types at a party that everyone else avoids 30 seconds after introduction for completely missing the point of every basic social interaction.
Well said gambinotosserflog - the sort who aren’t actively listening in general harmless banter, but are looking for ways to impart their opinion on an obscure fact that no one asked for.
 
Called Adrian “jackets” Dodoro for his love of wearing multiple jackets.

Casual triple jacket ensemble look modelled by list manager around town Adrian Dodoro.


Back in the news this week after his fair work case commission case against EFC was concluded.

I was at a Cosmic Psychos gig the other night and met some guys connected to the law firm that represented Adrian. They said that the reason he was sacked wasn’t for a decade of gross incompetence but for stealing jackets.

Apparently he would turn up at training and games wearing just a club polo. Then as players warned up, he’d steal their jacket - just put it on and casually wander off. Often stealing 2 or 3 jackets per session.

The theft was valued at over $200k over Adrian’s time at the club.

I don’t have screen shotted text message of this but this is from blokes you can trust.

Backing it up - You will notice that the Age’s legal department required the article to contain a rare photo where Adrian was only wearing a single jacket, so as not to overtly incriminate him.

Is this legit or just a shitpost?

I thought it was just a joke so I reached out to a mate who does remedial club admin including Bomber shop stock takes.

He said the EFC stock order system just orders the same amount they went through the previous period.

Since Adrian left, they kept ordering jackets at the same rate - but ended up way over stocked. Apparently they thought they were selling masses of jackets when in fact he was just stealing them.

They are so over stocked on jackets they had to put them all into a fire sale.

Is this the joke?
Since I posted, my messages have been blowing up.

This guy CotchIsKing told me:
  • He had a corporate package to a bombers game at Dockland including a carpark under the stadium
  • Adrian pulled up not far from him and jumped out just wearing a club polo, which CotchIsKing clocked because it was a cold June night
  • Oddest thing, Adrian had bunch of coat hangers hanging up in the rear seat hand holds
  • By coincidence, they also left at the same time and he was confused (up until he saw my post) as to why Adrian took off 3 jackets (that he didn’t arrive with) and hung them on the coat hangers. Then he drive off with that shit eater grin of his

Fair enough. My post was simply a Cosmic Psychos reference.

Not shocked

He's not a nice human

remedial club admin

I love this place
 
Not a rumour, but I was reminded by a friend on the weekend of an incident we witnessed in the beer garden of the Apollo Bay pub back in the late 80's on a very busy January arvo.

I was sitting at an outside table with a bunch of mates, and on the table next to us was a group of about half a dozen Hell's Angels bikies, enjoying a few jugs and a counter lunch each. Totally minding their own business, not bothering any other punters.

Sitting on another table near them with a bunch of his hangers-on mates was ex-Fitzroy (and Sydney and Collingwood) player Richard Osbourne, in a white singlet to show off every muscle on his sizeable torso and guns. Really vocal, very very pissed, and plenty of "look at moy" behaviours.

Pretty soon Osbourne started flicking peas from his counter lunch at the table of Hell's Angels blokes, making contact a couple of times, before the smallest of the gang (still about 6ft tall but dwarved in body shape compared to the ex-VFL player - probably just a Prospect tbh) did the honours and walked over behind Osbourne and got him in a headlock. They wrestled to the ground, and broke even in holds and little punches for about 5 minutes, before a couple of security blokes broke it up and sent Osbourne and his mates out of the beer garden. To the rousing cheers of all in attendance, who admired that the HA blokes had put up with way too much for way too long.

Pride damaged, Osbourne refused to make the smart decision and cut his losses, instead preferring to heckle the HA's from the footpath. After a few minutes of this, one of the larger bikies got up from his table and walked over to where Osbourne was mouthing off, suggesting in no uncertain terms that it would be best if he would "**** off right now".

Osbourne didn't take the hint, and gobbed off even more, clearly just big noting himself in front of the packed beer garden. Eventually the HA bloke lost patience and launched one of the biggest haymakers you'd ever see, sending Osbourne flying 2-3 metres airborne and onto the road outside the pub. One side of his face closing up, one of Osbourne's mates finally dragged him away into a waiting car and they took off.

There were about 4 or 5 jugs delivered to the table of the Hell's Angels blokes straight away, including one from me and my mates. They showed incredible tolerance for way longer than you'd expect.
On the same person, was there a 2000s story about his time working at one of the clubs he played for, that went sour? Not sure if there were charges laid?

So Osborne sounds like a bit of a flog. Anyone else got experiences of meeting/interacting with players you wish you didn't?

I know a mate, who was pulling together the discovery brief for the EFC.

The jackets were being stored here over the past 2 decades. Apparently the one Sheedy swung around his head all those years ago is in aisle 19 😎

Met both Chris McDermott and Tony McGuinness a couple of weeks after Blight sacked them from the Crows.

One was realistic, humble and grateful for the opportunity to play so much AFL, and didn't have a hint of ego to him.

The other was McGuinness.

Did the other one try to chat up your Mrs?

He has a history of that.

Started with Graham Cornes Mrs in the 80's; then an Adelaide female news reader and then had to leave Adelaide because he got involved with a women with links to a bikie mob (allegedly). Hence we he left the charity business he ran with McDermott.
