Winner - Worst defence counsel argument in history

Actually, if there is no eyewitness to confirm identity I would have thought it was a good defence. Mind you, if the defendant did what he is charged with, I hope the jury has sufficient circumstantial evidence to find him guilty.

    Such a joke of a thing, the mistaken identity defence...

    Hopefully you never get accused of something you didn't do.

    Identity is crucial, cast enough doubt and the prosecution is in trouble.

    Defence lawyers are not supposed to come up with an actual defence, they are supposed to relay to the court what happened (according to their client).

    Seems a chance that the defence client remembered what happened after they saw a possible flaw in the video.

    Guys ... this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. ie. RDB doesn't make mistakes!

    Untrue, a couple years back he passed his jumper onto a girl - thinking he was a guy and going to wear it proudly.

    Then again, he wasnt to know then that Scully didnt have a set.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
