Not under the influence of said drugs. That's the detail people don't seem to understand the difference this makes. Under the influence = affected capability to drive. In this instance, it's like not blowing a blood alcahol level, but finding trace elements in your blood you've been drinking -...
It takes a legal matter with a maximum of 5 years or more in jail for them to even stand players down. People just totally lost reality here. Not to mention the racist shit going on too.
He'll be one of those players that leaves and goes up a gear.
The off field shit that started a few months back is a serious worry though.
On field they were calling him a million dollar player mid-season when he did a good job covering for Reece..... very up and down.
It's also frankly really expensive to jail people. So there's a counter force at work also - by imposing mandatory minimums, you swell the jail population which costs the government money - at a rough cost of $422 per prisoner per day.
Further, there are also cases where people have mitigating...
Would you though? How would your boss know?
Take away the fact this was a local celebrity - this would have been a small headline in the paper. The court appearance you would have just taken the day off work and no conviction recorded...
So again, how? Not to mention you'd likely have a case...
All these people saying he would be jailed etc. This is reality. Been saying it since the start. It's bad, but not Matt Lodge bad. He got a slap on the wrist. NRL will rub him out for 6 weeks and life will go on.
Milf was sent to spend a lot of time with AFL people back in the day to develop his kicking when BHunt left. They made use of the Lions facilities and some of the Lions coaches helped out early on with technique etc.
We've also had sessions with the Reds etc.
Would be good to lean into this...
Frankly, if one player is the difference between finals and no finals - you're whole team is cooked.
I don't think many here would lay our crap season in '24 at the hands of a single player or position. It took lots of people to suck that hard.
100%
You want to talk about moments in that game?
McCollough goes himself on the last, on their try line instead of passing the ball to Parker who strolls over for an easy try and game over.
Next set, multiple times they keep the ball alive because we fail to execute a proper wrap ball and all...
I hope we see origin tier dozer for a fair few games this year. This has all the hallmarks of an epic finale to his and ARey's career. With Madge here busting the youngins into shape, I'm actually excited for '25 - massive turn around from 3 months ago.
You'll be waiting.... lol - court case is next month. They won't do anything till after then - even then - likely not until Jan or even early Feb as it's the off season, there's no hurry.
Ezra is going to cop an absolute bollocking at training when he gets back to the squad after christmas.
Victim mentality he displayed in 2024 will be dead and buried under Madge. He'll be fighting for a jersey again and out to prove himself. This was frankly the best thing that could have...
Talent attacts talent.
Don't be surprised if we offload a hooker/half in the next month and pick up another player or two. My money is on Madden, no chance he sees the Maroon and Gold this season barring horror injuries - even during origin.
No, it's not. ARey is close to done. It will be a miracle if he plays 80% of the season.
That and we need to have a plan for good halves in 2026. Where's that coming from if we ditch Ezra?
Ezra will just walk into another club and play against us, that's the real problem. Cutting him loose is...
Reece is an angel - what are you talking about?
Just ignore this noise - fake news!
