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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

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

    Would fit in well with Marley Williams.

    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. :P

    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?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
