    Pretty serious stuff, but do police really waste their resources and time raiding homes for the sake of one ecstasy tablet? :wacko:

    They must have been tipped off about drug activity or trafficking of a larger magnitude.

    Take some heat out of the tanking debate, I was hoping something like this would come up.

    He's had family living at his house for a while.

    Bit over the top if it is just the 1 pill imo

    We'll know if he's guilty if he starts dancing around with glow sticks when the umpire blows its whistle.

    (I've always been a big fan of NLM actually, hope it's just a beat up)

    Poor Bugger, most of us have happily indulged in the odd goog or two, without being raided & splashed all over the Herald sun Toilet Paper.

    I hope he is cleared. Pity it wasn't Lloydy though. Would love to see that jerk go down, & that means literally not taking a dive in the goal square.

    Yep. My first thought was the same. Some other club can have the media blowtorch aimed at them for a couple days.

    Not sure what to make of this yet. But being charged with possession of a single E is overly dramatic if you ask me. Ridiculous. Obvously the police thought they'd find more than that.

    When I was 20 the house I was living in got raided. Not a pleasant experience. Amusing when all they find is five pieces of 'marijuana paraphernalia'. But still not fun.

    And how does a raid on a house result in someone being charged with driving without a license? Unless he is living in his car.

    Hopefully Nathan doesn't find himself in too much trouble from all this.

    Player's.

    Geez, I thought the whole team had been busted!

    Agree with WYL; it's an absolute non-event. Even if he's "guilty", I really don't care and nobody else should either. If he was in any other profession, no one would.

    DaveyJones'sLocker, your "drugs are bad, they are illegal" angle is nothing short of circular logic; you're not saying "drugs are bad because they do this this and this to you", you're saying, "drugs are bad because they are illegal, and they are illegal because they're bad, and they're bad because they're illegal". Its an argument that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and it's surprising how many people get sucked in by it.

    either dob somone in and clear his name , or crash and burn NLM

    Yeah, the police should lean on him with the threat of serious jail time for having one pill that may or may not even be his. :rolleyes:

    two sheds jackson i dont think that additute towards drugs is the best approach

    its the sort of approach that leads to them being readily available and accepted by some individuals..

    Its also the sort of attitude that makes alcohol and cigarettes readily available and accepted by some individuals...

    - Where do you draw the line on deciding whats good for other people?

    Admittedly a bit deep for a football forum...

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
