From Max's hand to that foot is a long journey for a football. Seems to always hook when things go astray

Toady's on fire! Where's the popcorn?!!

So, a slap with a wet lettuce leaf. Where's the disincentive for other clubs not to do it (apart from the virus, of course)?

Jurrah was as clean as a whistle with ball in hand. Great vision too. Had that amazing knack to be able to visualise what was going to happen before others could

The rule is that clubs cannot share any indoor facilities. I would assume this means only one of MFC, Storm or Victory can use AAMI facilities. Also, would a group of 10 (which includes FD staff) mean at any one training location? That prevents backs at one end of Goschs, mids in the centre and forward at the other end. May have to separate off to different locations. This is probably why Andrews said it wasn't effective immediately, as they have to nut it out on a case by case basis

Kozzie seems to be good at those too. Put one in each pocket!

Agreed. Cale mentioned a number of interesting points about facilities (e.g. junction oval), player development, support staff, complacency and others, which gives a fairly honest overview of us at the time.

Was just his 9th game too.

Of course he is, and with no crowd. Then it would be their turn next year. Greedy [censored]

I repeat: there would not be a person here who does not have sympathy for the AVO victim. It's a given. I'll leave you to continue to if you want.

Maybe they could put MFC membership packs on the shelves next to toilet paper

Toady's back! Didn't you read in the papers about the party that was busted in Romsey? I managed to flee over the back fence, but Biff and Uncle were caught 'doing a Laidley'

Good to see you back, Ethan

Ok, so you want us to talk about the AVO victim/s? To discuss what's happened to them? On an anonymous football forum? Just to balence the thread up? I think you are confusing most poster's respect for the victim's privacy as to mean we do not care. For us to not know the name of the victim, the circumstances surrounding the AVO or it's breach is a good thing, and more than likely what they want. Not one person on here has said they do not have sympathy for the AVO victim. Of course we do.

No one is denying that. There are two important stories here. One, that he is accused of the things you mention, and second that Laidley's privacy was illegally breached by police officers (two have now been suspended). A third story is of a life spiralling out of control apparently from drugs/mental health issues. There are only losers in this whole situation. I would've thought it good for the victim's sake that little has been leaked about the charges Laidley is likely to face. We have information about the photos and text messages of the privacy breach, so that is why it is the dominant discussion here at the moment. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/05/clicks-and-dollars-trump-ethics-for-media-that-published-leaked-photos-of-dean-laidley

Is this a PC way of talking about a Swiss midget?

Senior Constable Shane Reid, has been named in The Age.

Most have forgotten? Hyperbole.

You in the force, Ding? Edit: Forget that, saw you post your line of work elsewhere

Police officer today stood down pending investigation. Facing possible criminal charges.

Best in my lifetime: Tulip, Garry, Ox, Jakovich and Jurrah Obviously I'm not going on longevity, but skill, excitement, natural talent and ability to change a game. Hence the last two. Neita could easily be there as well.

I've always been surprised when a celeb or sports star is charged with something that their name and critical details of the matter miraculously come out in the press within a very short period of time. If not for the alleged offender, then privacy for the victim and associated families should be paramount. It may also affect the integrity of the case against the accused. In this case, the image of Laidely's mugshot from Vicpol database has his MNI on it, which would make Vicpol furious. Vicpol do an valuable and unenviable job, particulary during current lockdown, but the person within the force who leaked these is truly dumb and deserves what they get.
