  1. 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
  2. Is this a PC way of talking about a Swiss midget?
  3. Senior Constable Shane Reid, has been named in The Age.
  4. Most have forgotten? Hyperbole.
  5. You in the force, Ding? Edit: Forget that, saw you post your line of work elsewhere
  6. Police officer today stood down pending investigation. Facing possible criminal charges.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/former-north-melbourne-coach-dean-laidley-charged-with-stalking-20200503-p54pg2.html Whoever leaked the photos is in a world of trouble.
  10. Same poison
  11. And remanded for a couple of weeks. One of the saddest and strangest situations in a long while.
  12. Salem was the best option for that mark and goal. Dawes would have spilled the mark for sure.
  13. https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-01/nrl-and-afl-fans-demanding-a-lot-from-players-during-coronavirus/12203036
  14. So if they are not getting paid, are you ok for them to do no training or any other work with the club? And accept they'll be completely underdone when games resume? I too find their position annoying, but I do not believe they should hand back all their contract, I'd think 50-70% would be more likely. This may well be the case if the players opt out or the season is cancelled altogether. The AFLPA have talked about further contract cuts if delays continue beyond the date agreed upon (whenever that is)
  15. Yes, the grass is often greener on the other side, but it's equally hard to mow!
  16. And probably North would get pick 2 in the 2020 draft, based upon 2019 ladder
  17. Second half
  18. First half
  19. No fact there, just the opinion of a Richmond supporter
  20. Wasn't it shown in the draft video that we rated Jackson ahead of Anderson?
  21. Yes, that's why a NT hub is highly unlikely
  22. Has it really? Didn't realised that 100% of Territorians have been tested. The testing figures are not necessarily a true reflection on who actually has it
