GWS player arrested on a raft of charges for assault

[Moonshadow 17,678]

The Courts will presume innocence. The rest of us are free to think what we like.

The Police obviously think he is guilty of something, hence the arrest.

Why so precious?

If he goes to trial by jury, then in theory we are potential jurors and part of the court system.

hahaha........as soon as you told the judge you were a land poster you'd be instantly excused

Earlier this year Campbell brown was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Everyone said guilty straight away. Turned out he did nothing wrong.

But by your logic police thought he was guilty...

But no let everyone crucify this kid before we know what happened..

Not exactly - turned out that there may have been insufficient evidence to prove whether he did wrong or not. Just a fine point of the law....nobody is ever proven innocent.

should get the Dane Swan treatment in that he completely gets away with it scot free and then doesn't even pay the compo money for making a bloke 'borderline mentally disabled'

It will stay in the lower court, trial or not, therefore Magistrate only, no jury.

[DeeSpencer 26,482]

he can seriously play the game

Are you sure? Had a great first season racking up touches and towelling up Moloney but ever since Leon Cameron has come to the giants he's been used as a defender and tagger because he can't kick and makes dumb decisions.

I mean sure if he didn't have off field issues I'd love to have him on our list because he's still a young midfielder with a fair amount of talent but even without the off field stuff he's still some chance to become a Rhys Palmer type of flame out who's best season was his first.

Artificial club that was humiliated on the weekend in spite of having an entire age group worth of talent and was green lighted to take our draft pick away from us and now this. Hard to be sympathetic.

The charge is intentionally cause serious injury which can't be heard at the magistrates court... He is heading to the county court with the next hearing for the police to issue the brief of evidence to him

Affray as well.

Ha, is every second poster on Demonland an accredited lawyer?

One of you might even be a judge!

Dane Swan? This sounds like Dan Connors, otherwise I've missed something about this...

[Ethan Tremblay 31,273]

Affray as well.

If he pleads guilty at first appearance it will stay at the lower court

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Yeah you and most of the public.

Helps to be a gun who plays for Collingwood

Very good footballer and only going to get better.

Snap him up, if available,

As good as he may be, if he is guilty of what he is charged with he doesn't fit with the culture Roos is building. I'd be cautious at this stage.

[Demon Disciple 12,492]

One year wonder, that is all.

What about you be the Judge of that.

Not for me thanks. I will have no man at our club that goes to zagami's. A real culture killer.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

'kn hell.....some serious inside play there

could be career ending?

....or he could go staight to Collingwood.

[Machsy 2,858]

Might be a pretty good fit at St Kilda too.

[monoccular 17,697]

....or he could go staight to Collingwood.

Would fit in well with Marley Williams.

[Adam The God 30,644]

Funnily enough, I'd be guessing he's a Liverpool supporter and didnt like the outcome...

I'm Liverpool, but I didn't go around beating people.

Hamburger with the lot thanks, wouldn't get too excited, $5 says he ends up with recklessly causing injury, think of everything else as alternate charges. Having laid those particular set of charges 50+ (with minor variations) times. The big charge is intentionally cause serious injury, that's a committal hearing/county court job (And I was surprised there are a few other alternates I would have thrown in.)

Will probably find the victim was the architect of his own demise as well, very few 'innocents' in a night club barney. Watch it plea down to a good behaviour bond (as it would for any other citizen unless they have priors/ a docket).

It's always refreshing to hear from someone who possesses real, actual knowledge instead of mindless speculation and silly retorts.

The victim was apparently the bouncer; how would you read that?
