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.


i'd say he panicked more when he realised they'd do a drug test as well as a breath test

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.

 

Next Please!

yeah NAH !!

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.”

Charlie, Chuck, Chas what were you thinking?

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.

Pre arranged so he slides.

Don't tell me Worsfold is at it again..


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 !!

agree with such...some will , some wont. CC just lurched across the median strip !!

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.

Chances are it is a duck

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
