Clive Palmer (who remains a bulldog supporter) grew up in and got his start in business in Williamstown. He still owns (I think) a Titanic themed theatre restaurant right down the end of the retail strip. If you can picture a pub with a scale model of half of the Titanic sticking out the front then you get the local vibe.
And I haven't even started on the local VFL club. Or the fact that Joan Kirner and Steve Bracks were the local members of state parliament for 25+ years between them.

Yeah but I could have walked across the road and fished off Gem pier.

This seems like personal experiences being used to form a macro view. Always dangerous Happy Days.

Those commission flats in Nelson place can go off!
In all seriousness quite a few musos live in Williamstown.

McGuire on Hunter: “The media ‘kick people to death’ when players make mistakes.”
McGuire on Steven: “Just tell us what the hell happened.”
McGuire on Sidebottom: “Did the right thing in every situation. Drank too much, a few things went wrong... We’re proud of him tonight.”

Is that the actual quote?!? The guy was found half naked and completely disorientated in the middle of the night by the cops, where the fudge in that sentence is there something to be proud of?
Steele's lucky he's a footballer and the cops recognised him, I doubt he would have gotten such a genial lift home if it weren't for his profile...

Based on what has been reported, 4 weeks appears to be a week or so on the higher side than he probably should have received but it's clearly an 'enough is enough' attitude at the AFL HQ
There might be a bit more too this because Collingwood would normally challenge this type of suspension

You might be right. The early reports I read were a bit equivocal about the cause of his insobriety.

You'd think he'd be tested as a result. Players have access to all sorts of pain killers over the journey, what was reported doesn't seem like a party drug response unless he was completely gacked…….and I don't see that happening at this stage of the season.
