Thats goin to stuff his career

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".

It will always happen, they are young men.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Sometimes druck idiots don't seem to understand that they have to actually pay for a service being provided.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
