Imagine the personality traits that would lead a person to be a police officer, politician, real estate agent and an AFL player agent...

Interesting character.  According to his Wikipedia page:

- He was stood down as a police officer after failing an integrity investigation

- He had a sketchy career in politics, including squibbing out of a debate on industrial affairs and got Hockey to debate on his behalf

- He was forced to withdraw from contesting in the 2010 federal election after he was charged with impersonating a police office

- The incident of impersonating a police officer came from when he threatened a witness in an assault case against his son - the phone call was made from Parliament House when he was a sitting MP

I reckon he would have also moon lighted as a Justice of the Peace, a Marriage Celebrant and ran bus tours.

Loved watching Byron Pickett play - whether for Port, NM, or us. Just great to watch.

 

And I thought Lachie Hunter’s bump against Collingwood was straight out of the Byron Pickett textbook.

And Eddie McChins was complaining like a stuck pig about the bump on FC and even tried to turn it around by claiming the Collingwood player desisted from turning it around on Lachie Hunter.

Byron - the “gutless n!gger” as some bloke called him at the Gabba - Back in 2006. I couldn’t get him thrown out of the QCC members and was fuming. My mate explained "we are in Qld - get used to it.".

His mates had to restrain me from taking it further (not physically) and apologised on his drunken behalf. I spoke with several QCC staff - they did nothing. Unforgettable!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
