He'll lose his licence for 2 years because of this. Godawful judgement at the worst time imaginable.

    Smart move really. Imagine the headlines if he taken the breath test and blew the bag apart. I'm thinking he was plastered.

    Ignored a stop sign, didn't have his P plates on, refused breath test so likely drink driving, lost licence for 2 years.

    Yeah, don't think Roos will have much interest in someone with decision making like that. Almost certainly zero chance for pick 3 now.

    If it's some secret strategy concocted by another team to make him slide, and he's dumb enough to be complicit in such a scheme despite legal ramifications and a police record, why would we want anything to do with him?

    In either scenario there are serious red flags about his character and his judgement.

    Jack Darling slept with a girl in a tent on school camp. This guy is pulling this rubbish the week before he's due a massive contract. At his size, his career could really go either way, with his decision making he's clearly on the back foot now.

    Geelong Falcons regional manager Michael Turner and Curnow’s manager, Paul Connors, provided a statement to the AFL and clubs this morning saying the player had made “a poor choice”.

    “He was pulled over by police for driving through a stop sign. A breath test was requested to which Charlie, in his moment of panic, refused,” the statement said.

    “He was taken to a police station. Charges against Charlie could be being drunk in public, refusing breath analysis and not displaying P-plates.”

    Curnow was in Melbourne’s sights at pick 3, while Essendon also has a strong interest with picks 4 and 5.

    A source said the incident was “a wake-up call that he must learn from”.

    Another talent expert said the incident could dampen Curnow’s draft prospects at certain clubs.

    “If you had a question mark over him already, you wouldn’t take him now,” the source said.

    “But, if you were really hot on him, you would still take him.”

    LOL

    He refused his breath test "in a state of panic."

    Which is such a normal reaction for a sober driver to make. That's all every sober driver does when pulled over by a booze bus.

    Someone has consulted their lawyer handbook.

    Just had a 'chicken little' moment...is he Colin Sylvia 2.0?

    Or Dayle Garlett

    Oh they are so similar stories FFS

    Darling - Played up at school camp and got king hit

    Garlett - drug issues, history of trouble with Police,

    About the only similar characteristic they had was they both thought their ability would get them through

    Missing the point mate.

    Simply pointing out that for every kid that makes a dumb decision but still makes it there's 3 that don't.

    Every case is different.

    Stuie lets not derail the thread, I know both stories very well in regard to Garlett & Darling.

    Every case is different as you say and it is very much the case with these two. The press only knows a minute amount of what DG was up to

    Way too much of a coincidence and smells rotten to the core - definitely a set up.

    sounds like such but only a real idiot would risk what the Police, may , or may not do.

    Sounds like a conspiracy...more just a dlckhead !!

    Oh please someone sets up going through a stop sign then refuses a drug test loses their licence for two years and then has a record to manipulate the Draft!

    Beggars belief.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
