    Slightly over dramatic.

    Like I said, it's very disappointing, but I doubt it will be the end of him.

    Dane Swan, Wayne Carey, Brad Ottens, Alan Didak, Colin Slyvia and even Andrew Lovett just to name a few seemed to have gotten on with their football careers ok after off-field "incidents".

    Indian taxi driver.....just the news bumbling Brumby needs as he heads over to India to try and rescue the relationship between the two countries. High profile sports person beats up an Indian taxi driver.

    His timing could not have been worse.

    That's not an excuse. I don't know about you, but I don't have any friends who have been charged, so it's just meathead mentality. It has to change. A lot of these footballers aren't the brightest candles, but surely they can be taught some manners.

    Great point re relationship with India and Fevola's conduct as well. However, we hopefully are jumping to a conclusion which maybe not true. I hope not- but think so.

    Cant remember the last ime I was arrested for assaulting someone.

    This is exactly why it continually happens. Why make excuses for them? They had a long season? Boo Hoo. I work 6 days a week why shouldnt I blow off some steam by assaulting an innocent bystander and get away with it?

    They are just footballers like anyone else, they should be made accountble for their actions.

    I'd envisaged him as Essendon's new "golden boy" into the future.

    Oh well.

    Only because you were too drunk to remember, right? ;)

    Hurley just lost a fist full of dollars.

    They are also JUST footballers.

    Oh man... I'd give up just about anything to take him at a discounted price. Was depressed we were never going to have a crack last year.

    Haha, how ridiculous.

    I've lived amongst many young men that are absolute mentalists when they get on the [censored], and none of them have ever been arrested for assaulting someone.

    We should've taken Hurley instead of Watts, PERFECT replacement for Neitz. Well, almost perfect, haven't seen too many balls bounce of Hurley's chest...

    My first thought when reading the article is why it needed to mention that the guy was Indian at all? How is it relevant to the story? We may be improving on our collective prejudice to other races, but we've still got a long way to go to removing the needless distinctions altogether.

    I agree. Assault is definitely OK just because they're young men. :rolleyes:

    Right at this moment we don't know if it's relevant because we don't have all of the info on what happened. Let me give an example, if Hurley racially abused him as well as assaulting the guy then it would be very relevant, the result being very ugly for Hurley and Essendon.

    Hopefully race not an issue...but taxi drivers don't always seem to understand that it's their primary role to ferry our drunks home so they don't try to drive themselves.

    Neita?

    If he learns from his mistake it could be the making of him, if he doesn't learn he probably never will.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
