I came across this article about Melbourne criminal defence lawyer Rob Stary, who has built a career representing everyone from terror suspects to drug addicts. Worth a read.

And there's this bit
Now, he works more sensible hours and takes extended holidays. He doesn't drink, smoke or gamble. His only vice is fanatic support for the AFL's Western Bulldogs. O'Connell says this is Stary at his worst: "Most people who go to the footy with him don't go again. In the lead-up to [last year's] grand final I had some contact with him, and his emails were incoherent. He was completely incapable of clear thinking."

I thunk his first practice may have been in Footscray.

Wonder if he has much to do with Gordo these days, given Gordon brought him into the S&G business before Stary left on bad terms.

Rob is a diehard Bulldog supporter and was also an alternate director of the Club.

They're still on good terms.

Chas Licciardello always surprised me given he was a Sydney boy, but he sat behind me at a final 10ish or so years ago and was completely across the team - I think he's pretty fanatical.
