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.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
