... sigh of relief ... not one of ours.

Jake King allegedly involved as well.

go to big footy pal to get the updates and surrounding hilarity.

Herald Sun has named the player

And.... it's Ty Vickery.  My thought process went 'Thank God it's not someone from Melbourne' to 'I'm hardly surprised.'

Arrests, serous matters, extortion but no charges laid to this point in time.

Be very careful what you write on this thread folks.

Wow- Ty Vickery IS as stupid as he looks.

Jake King-you pleb.

was reported as arrest having occurred outside jake king's tattoo parlour

no indication if jake king was the arrested person

Nice to have the spotlight somewhere else for a while.  This will be a BIG story simply by the names put out there.  Glad it is not one of ours.

I seem to recall that there were some here who advocated that we go for Ty last off season.

Certainly dodged a bullet on the field, and perhaps literally.

I can see why VIC police decided to deal with this directly rather than take it to the AFL tribunal.

One for all and all for one....

More details emerging ... Vickery charged with impersonating an AFL footballer.

Vickery shouldn't have cut his hair - harder to plead insanity 

The reporter on channel 7 covering this story just stated " North Melbourne released a statement about 20 minutes ago, saying they will not comment because this is an active police investigation." 

North Melbourne?????

Decision to leave the tigers also makes that defence problematic

Not sure I (along with the Demonland server) would have coped very well if i the spotlight had been on us again.

Tyrone vickery has been extorting money from the hawks and tigers for years 

King for a day-Tool for a lifetime.

Jake King: A distinguished career of 0 Brownlow votes. Probably bikie-bribed his way onto an AFL list. The media attention he got for his retirement was a disgrace.

I hope they make this into an Underbelly series.

Some cultural problems at the Hawks and getting ahead of themselves so it seems.

Here is the article

Arrested for extortion and threats.  Apparently a partner stole $100,000 from Vickery and he enlisted King to help get it back.

LOL, King thinks hes Mick Gatto.

Vickery is just a loser.  His wife is doing well on the tennis circuit, why the hell did she marry such a useless pleb? Is he extorting her too?

The good news is the Push up King has a great reference in Toby Mitchell.

I know Ty via his family (they will be mortified) and in spite of his poor on field decisions, he was generally pretty together off the field. I don't know if I want to know the story.
