The Blues said Garlett will not travel to Adelaide for Friday night's match against Port Adelaide.

Sounds more to me that the club have decided that he's not going to play. Probably the best course of action considering his mind will definitely be elsewhere if he does play.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Howdy Thy, how's your week going?

On a scale of 1 to Aaron Joseph please.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Let it go MC, I know a real good therapist.

 

[Mister Carlton]

I'll leave that for you.

Howdy Thy, how's your week going?

Sweet as, JR. Over the hump and sliding towards Friday night.

 

[Boltfromtheblue]

We need to get those lawyers across from Essendon*. They'll have Jeffy caught up in a legal stoush where no one knows their head from their arse in no time. Hopefully then we could have it drag out until Jeffy retires.

Aaron 10seph....

 

[Boltfromtheblue]

Should be a fairly simple legal case...
Jeffy's defence lawyer: "Affrayed not your Honour! I rest my case!"

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I was affrayed of this....

Cardable.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Why Affray? Very serious charge. I'm no lawyer so perhaps our legal eagles could explain this one. It needs a group of people brawling and an imaginary witness who could fear for their well being. How do you prove who started the melee? Surely you're allowed to defend yourself if others attack you. Robbo was there. He'll be charged as well.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Good grief, that is deplorable.

Isn't affray one step down from assault. I thought it was more of a public disorder charge.

Yes, it's the legal version of taking a short step or ducking your head.

 

[SE_Blue]

Nothing charge. Group fighting that disturbs the peace (what type of group fight wouldn't?).

Nothing like the charges that Greene has.

 

[etsal1]

Sounds like they don't think he was the victim but also don't think it's worthy if an assault charge unlike the guys who belted him.

Weird how Robbo who was actually injured isn't charged.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Or White for that matter.

Garlett could say he wishes to become a fireman, but he isn't strong enough to hold the hose.

Hardly a hanging offence with several big names getting off more serious charges.

A young NRL star had his charges withdrawn and dismissed this year.

Affray charges against South Sydney's Dylan Walker withdrawn and dismissed

Maybe the AFL MRP can charge J Selwood with Affray?

From the look of things, just being involved in a fight is technically illegal, but there are multiple defenses.

Including necessity? I just needed to punch that bloke your honor. I needed it

I thought there was nothing wrong with a bloke (professional athlete) heading out and just living his life until 5am before an 8am recovery session? It was his 25th birthday after all... You know...the big 2-5...one of the most important birthdays.

Why are the police picking on him?

So confused...

There isn't anything wrong with that.

He was involved in an altercation, and if he has done anything wrong he will be charged accordingly, and rightly so.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Affray is a rubbish charge. Not news.

 

[Big Sim]

Just means he threw a few back rather than turning the other cheek.

Will cop a fine most likely.

Nonetheless has probably dropped his trade value from bugger all to sweet *** all.

Of course there's something wrong with it. The best players are always looking for a competitive edge and go to great lengths for any advantage. Being out at 5am before a recovery session is not the behaviour of players aiming to get the best out of themselves.
