Top draftee faces spectre of jail time

One high-profile Victorian club is very angry at one of its star draftees. And it’s not over something trivial like a push and shove in a bar or nightclub. It is alleged that the star recruit was involved in a gang invasion of a house where baseball bats and machetes were used. It happened in his home state before last year’s draft and my contacts in that state tell me the courts have been extremely harsh in judging similar cases. He is likely to be charged with assault and in all probability may go to jail. One insider at the club told me that if the club had known “we would have gone down a different track and recruited someone else”. Maybe the AFL should demand full disclosure form draftees in future. It would be pretty crook if you were to draft somebody and he was to suddenly say “I’ll see you in 18 months when I get out”.

So why are you Glad we're not a high profile Victorian club ATM?

As it cant be one of our top draft picks going to jail.

High Profile Vic clubs - Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon...

High Profile Vic clubs who had high draft picks last year? - Carlton, Essendon....

High Profile Vic clubs who had high draft picks last year and their first recruit was drafted from interstate? - Carlton

...... I like where this is going.

The issue here is that he has not been charged with anything at this point so how can the afl or any club for that matter pass judgement, let alone do a background check?

Geez - I hope its carlton! would serve those cheats right!

I wonder who it could be.... hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha

Goodnight Carltank.

There by the grace of God go MFC.......

Every time I hear of any anti social, violent, illegal, criminal acts or events involving footballers I wish it was not true and hope to the high heavens that MFC players or officials are not involved.

The issues with Sylvia have been small matters in comparison to some others.
