Was Hunt the scapegoat at GCS?  I'm not suggesting anything about Stringer other than to say if the club has identified him it's a big call to make him the scapegoat because he's also an incredible asset.  It would be unusual to make that sort of choice.

I'm surprised so many are struggling to join the dots.

Don't know much about Hunt - his contract was up and went back to Rugby (I think). 

Not sure if you are asking if I have joined the dots?  Yes I have...refer my last 3 or 4 posts on this subject...I'm just being careful with what I say so DL owners don't get sued and I don't get a DL holiday...

    Start here and research further if you want.  Again I"m NOT suggesting Stringer is Hunt but just commenting on "scapegoat" references.

    There is a reason Dogs have made him the scapegoat (in your words).  They didn't just pick his name out of a hat.

    Well, you have to say one thing. With the "difficult characters" the Dogs have on their list, they've managed to get them all pulling in the same direction long enough to win the ultimate reward. Speaks volumes for the support structures around the club.

    Maybe just maybe, they have far too many old boys in their footy department.

    Just a guess, but we all know what former players can be like, when they are in power at their old club.  Often pretty much wanting jealously to own the club, & so get miffed when foreign changes are mooted by outsider coaches in the footy department.

    This, if it is what's going on, can only be a major impediment to the club and it's players preparation ?

    I think the idea that Stringer is a scapegoat is over-reaching a tad. I think there's enough smoke to suggest a very large fire when it comes to his off field behaviour and he'll be hoist on his own petard!  There are others in the same boat, and maybe Bevo is of the opinion that 12 months on and deep into a premiership hangover,that one head on a spike might be enough of a warning to others to tow the company line.

    Then again the problems maybe so deep that it's more than just a warning to the playing group its about excising dangerous cultural practices that if left to linger will completely ruin their chance at another tilt.  Players like Stringer, Libba, and Biggs all mentioned and it maybe that none at the kennel next season.

    Oooppphhhh that's unseemly to say the least. Rooting around on your wife with a school girl (allegedly) and the gambling to top it right off.

    The age of these girls is concerning. I'm not sure on the rules with that stuff but surely that's a storm in itself?

    Not surprising.

    He seems to have an extremely low IQ.

    Isn't that only as long as there is an age gap under 2 years (maybe more?) otherwise it's statutory rape?

    I guess there are two sides to every story but OMG this sounds pretty awful as it has been told.

    As others have said though : (if as stated) perfect moral standards for the Druggies.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
