Richmond's Dan Connors and Dustin Martin in trouble



Recommended Posts

I drink and paretake in the odd line of recreation when the moment is right.

Live life to the max. These guys are now programmed robots.

Yes, but you're not an professional sportsman, at an elite level.

Some of these posts surprise me. I don't know that people are quite grasping just what it takes at this level, and in particular, what it takes in terms of work, training and preparation. One missed recovery session can be enough to (seriously) impact on how you run out a game. Or not.

I know a couple of pro and ex-pro sportsmen in other sports, and it's no different. It's a 24/24, 7/7 commitment, just to get that 1/2 percent extra that will make the difference.

So goodbye Liam Jurrah then??

Thats up to the club...they make the rules.

Connors was on his thrid strike... he new it...and paid....that was their rules...and those that he had agreed to..

Jurrah has more to worry about from a higher judiciary than the club.

Jurrah's fate will come from the judicial law, not the club. But he certainly went home with intent, so i don't like his chances personally.

People on here talk as if he will get off with a warning. Can't see it myself.

I will be amazed if the jurrah pulls on a match day jumper again.

Ive harboured similar thoughts.

I suppose we'll know in the not too distant future.

Strangely I dont think Connors career is necessarily over. ...Might depend how far hes prepared to travel..lol

Heard that before he pulled on his last match day jumper when he proved most in the media and many on here wrong. Let it play out and see what happens.

Sure. But he went up there for a reason, and its not hard to work out what for.

No it's not hard to work out, he went up there because his partners sister had died. Let's not write anything more into it, the year has been hard enough as it is.

And it's not hard to work it out wrongly. Who knows? Hadn't his sister-in-law just died? Foolish to guess. Cultural knowledge and evidence required, both for what happened and motivation if it did.

WYL you are barking up the wrong tree if you are suggesting there was any premeditation or that he was looking for trouble by going there

FCS he had been 'home' many times before AFTER the 'troubles' had started. This was just another trip home and because his sister in law died

What happened then we don't know the details

He told the club he was innocent of the charges

We'll just have to wait for the trial and even then I doubt we will know all the 'truth'

I agree with you DC

But I am cynical enough to say he would say that would he not.

I have a bad feeling about this whole episode.

It would complete a perfect 2012 if it goes the wrong way.

a funeral, as I remember it being said at the time. you know better than that do you?

none of us has any idea what went on. the court will make a serious effort to establish that. why have any of us the presumption to anticipate (in our near-total ignorance) what the court will find? what motive can we possibly have for speculating along these lines, given that he is one of our favourite players?

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
