That’s a big one , I wonder if it’ll come under drug trafficking

"Quantity less than traffickable"

I noticed that Geelong wasted two years that should have been two more flags.

If Melb get the grace of the gods, yes they can win it.

Confirmation that Narkle was out on Saturday night - maybe just a bit unlucky for Richmond that both players play for the club, and the other players out that night were lucky to not get caught up also

Geelong confirmed on Tuesday midfielder Quinton Narkle was among a large group of AFL players from several clubs at Club Yoyo on Saturday night celebrating the birthday of Shai Bolton’s partner.

God, who cares? This sort of scrutiny is ridiculous. Players aren’t allowed lives?

Never said that, and nothing wrong with the players having a night out, celebrating a loved ones birthday etc

And there's no doubt that players from all clubs would have nights out, would go to night clubs or other venues etc, and in 99% of cases we'd be none the wiser as to whom was out doing what

The only reason we've been made aware of this situation is because of the alteration that occurred - but let's not be naive to think that Geelong players aren't out on weekends, and that there's not the potential to get caught up in this sort of thing

The teams he'll miss matches against - Bulldogs, Collingwood, Fremantle & Geelong

 

[BotsMaster]

I think it’s absolutely pointless going to the club

Agreed.

This sort of stuff gets brushed aside when they are winning. It becomes a lot more of an issue when they aren’t. I hope the off field incidents keep happening, and they keep losing. Then the heat really comes on them.

Absolutely - it's very easy to criticise losing badly, but winning badly is something that should draw more public attention. As much as I've despised Hawthorn over the years, at least they weren't stooping to the level of Richmond.

Our last brawls (that I know of anyway) were David Johnson and Chappy. A while ago now.

Your last point is ridiculous, that was no scandal, it was footy players mucking around in the change rooms. Which all footy clubs do all of the time and have forever. Either way, I'm refraining from being sanctimonious. Every single club has dark skeletons in its history, pretending it's only clubs we don't like is even more absurd than usual.

Just let me hate on the Tigers in peace, please.

I'm surprised we got lucky there, thought the MRP would've gone looking for us and given the usual 3 weeks.

Our players are. Opposition players aren't.

Yep and unfortunately sometimes players can do absolutely nothing wrong and get caught up in stuff.

Speeding, not drink driving.

And that punch on with Rowan and Hawkins never happened.

Yeah Selwood was speeding. Dawson Simpson was drink driving.

[00VicWard001]

Na this was a storie with him and Bolts with Rioli giving the thumbs up in the background

Esava too. It clearly wasnt instigated by the players from the stories.

The punch is a funny one. That feels embellished to me. Maybe it was heated words.

 

[00VicWard001]

Hahaha. I don't think his a drug trafficker lol.
Probably hid a bit of coke in his sock to take home and do with his mates.

Someone's dobbed him in I'm sure. It's too random and unlikely for an AFL star to be searched that way.

Not really.

With the lack of international flights, the AFP at airports have have nothing left to do but search domestic flights these days.
I would of flown on at least 15 domestic flights this year and have had the sniffer dogs check my bags on 3 occassions.
In all my years of flying domestically it's only ever happened once before.

On international flights it's common to see them on arrival, particularly at the baggage carousels.

Neither.
For some reason it just became fodder, similar that Rohan was cheating on his partner with her, even though they'd been seperated since before the hub. Maybe people just wanting to put more juice into the story.

 

[Down at K Park]

The punch is a funny one. That feels embellished to me. Maybe it was heated words.

The story went that Hawkins smashed him in the face. But it clearly didn't happen as Rohan was never seen training or playing with a mark on him, and during games he and hawk celebrated goals together etc, from around the time the incident apparently occurred. It was just made up bullshit. Heated words? Possibly.

Someone's dobbed him in I'm sure. It's too random and unlikely for an AFL star to be searched that way.

Sniffer dogs at airports are common. And you could smell 25 grams of weed from a mile away. Unless he used the old prison wallet to try to sneak it through. Would make for an uncomfortable flight though

is that the normal adjudication for possession?

is that the normal adjudication for possession?

highly likely considering it wasn't a trafficable quantity
