Grenville was apparently caught out late at night without cab fare home, so he went into a pizza shop and ordered a pizza delivery to his home, then hopped in the car for a free ride and paid the driver in cash for the pizza when he got there.

That is actually a true story.
He was trying to ride a bike home with a pizza and fell off breaking the bike and losing his pizza.
So he walked back, ordered another and jumped in with the delivery driver for a lift home.
Old Westies footballer later journalist Merv Agars did a story and a photo reenactment
with a photo of him on a pushie with a pizza.
Poor fella has lost part of a leg due to diabetes .

I vaguely recall that story. He missed training. Might have been State training actually

Said that he was riding his bike home with a pizza balanced on the handlebars

Went over a bump and the pizza tipped over and fell on his leg, burning his thigh which is why he couldn't train

How did he get 4 years? Was he snorting a pile of the stuff like Tony Montana?

Tested positive on game day I thought.

Nekminnit cap relief

Google tells me he is/was contracted to 2024, so he could be a straight delist. Now that list lodgement #1 has passed, we should know?

Trafficking.
Sent a text offering it to 4 other Melbourne players who’s sphincter’s would be tight right now.

I think that came from the investigation. Pretty sure he tested positive in season.

Yes he did but the 4 year ban was because of trafficking.

will be more about it today.

edit : The 4 players only needed to self report not to be named but are still known.

So the Tony Montana reference was apt.

Guess he said more than hello to his little friends.

I gather those 4 Dees players were not so "random" tested & in the future.

Sis he send a text to his coach though...

The Facts About Member Control - The Black And White Noise

David Koch likes to say that he “deals in facts” and “relies on data”. Well, when it comes to AFL controlled clubs, the data is in, and it is irrefutable. Only one of the clubs that The Governance Institute of Australia defined as “AFL owned clubs” has won a premiership since 2005. With Sydney...

No they wouldn’t. If anything was going to be done about the players who got the text msgs we'd know by now.

Right now is the ideal time to be dumping bad AFL news. The whole thing is carefully managed. Melb CEO stands down, their football review is released, and the Smith sanctions are revealed, all in a very dead AFL week. They are ripping off bandaids and setting up for good news stories through the draft and pre-season.

That’s why I posted this 2 post down.


“edit : The 4 players only needed to self report not to be named but are still known.”


One of them would have to have been on last strike for there to be an issue I assume.
Reckon they would be pretty nervous about their names hitting main stream media though.

You’d think 3 of the 4 could possibly be Oliver

Biggest mistake was not doing it in a Geelong nightclub.

Putting anything in writing shows the level of stupidity.

Grenville was a great mate of Malcolm Sampson who had the Railway/Overway Hotel in Gawler way back when and often used to hang out there or at the Gawler greyhounds where Malcolm Sampson ran the on course bar at the time, Grenville was very friendly with a lot of the greyhound folk at the time and was certainly a character ...did like a beer or two or three.

Does anyone know what happened to that Power flog that reported Crouch to the police for tipping his hat?

I had heard he tried to withdraw it after being mocked by everyone, but due to the publicity it had already gone to far.

Won’t clog the thread but need to have a beer one day. My stepfather JB and also my uncle “Alan White” played for South Adelaide, had dogs based at Gawler and knew Malcolm.
Our best dog was “Pommy Tenacity”

I worked with a guy who was a barman at the Prospect RSL. The stories he told of Grenville sneaking for a beer and other things So funny. Grenville is a true Aussie larrikin hero. Played 1 season at WT with 72 goals. Could have been anything.
