So, does providing 2 examples count as both 'a small number' and 'at least some' WOOF posters who suggested Lachie be sacked by the club? If not, happy to say I was wrong.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I'm not disputing what few means, I don't actually know.-but I am saying that a couple is only ever two of something.

No one is arguing against that, though.

Re: Lachie Hunter charged with Drink Driving
I just hope this is a huge wake up call to Lachie and he comes out all guns blazing when he returns to football. Fingers crossed we haven't seen the best of him yet.

I'd be very confident that he will use this to spur himself onto a greater and more professional focus.

Re: Lachie Hunter charged with Drink Driving
Two of the damaged vehicles belonged to the family of Bailey Smith’s girlfriend, whose house Bailey was staying at the time. The location of the accident outside the house where Bailey and his girlfriend were was, we are satisfied,
entirely coincidental.
Club has handled it pretty well as far as I'm concerned, although they must think we were all born yesterday if they expect us to believe the above.

Maybe its just me and stranger things have happened, but I'm a little sceptical of the 2000 plus houses in Middle Park Lachie manages to hit a two cars connected to a team mate, who just happens to be there as well.
Even with my average mathematics and with no external calculations taken into account, at best the outcome is a probability of 0.05% that the accident happens at that residence.
