I think sometimes we forget how difficult it is for some kids who don't have the advantage of being brought up and raised in a place like surburbia Melbourne with a good education and a stable family environment. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a firm believer that just about everyone should be given the chance to redeem past wrongs.

For the first time while I've been a MFC supporter I also honestly believe that we are in a position to assist guys like this. We have the leadership within the team (Davey) and a coach who understands the hurdles in front of these kids. We also have a president who excells in this area.

Melbourne is the perfect club for a kid like Troy Taylor to find himself and flourish as a person.

Sold. A good sentiment and maybe possible. I just need to add that even my initial comment was not meant to write the kid off, just to draw attention to the lack of perspective some people have.

I would have thought doing time for armed robbery would disqualify you based on DB's 'no DHeads' policy
