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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
