After reading all the vitriol and rhetoric attacking supporters of another club. Everyone needs to understand that these type of morons are involved with every club. A small minority are out there to spoil it for the rest of us. If you believe no one supporting the Melbourne Football Club would ever do such a thing then you have your head in the sand. The facts are these guys are supporters of Collingwood not members. If you have a look around at the Feral’s websites they are in as much disgust as we are. The facts are the 24 year old was out on bail for another offence and then granted bail for his attack on Brad Jones. This is not an alcohol issue as he did not register a blood alcohol level as reported by the Victorian Police. He has allegedly stated he took ecstasy (I would suggest this is legal spin). The LAW has let everyone down in this matter. He should have never been bailed once, let alone twice. We have laws in place to lock these types of people away yet it never happens. They will wait for someone to die and then it’s too late.
I have never been attacked by a Collingwood person in 40+ years attending the football, abused & friendly banter every time and in saying that it was a two way street always. I have been assaulted at Kardina Park, Arden Street and Princess Park. Do I feel that because that happened all those supporters are feral? No I don’t.
My suggestion and this should be from every citizen not just supporters is to start a petition to the Government seeking tighter rules on breaking bail. He should still be in Jail. The same goes if he followed Melbourne as well.
