The highlighted charge interests me. Is it implying that someone was injured?

Pretty sure assistance to the police.

Thanks that clears that up

I'd say that it falls under this.

Following an accident, you are required to stop your vehicle, check to see whether anyone is injured and provide them with any assistance you can, and then at the soonest possible occasion, provide your details to all the relevant parties (other driver’s involved, injured parties, owners of damaged property, the police). If your vehicle is un-roadworthy, you must arrange to have it towed.

From;

Penalty for first offence.

If you did stop and render assistance, but did not provide the injured people, the police, or owners of damaged property with your details, or you failed to report the accident to the police, you may face 80 penalty units or a maximum of 8 months imprisonment (first offence)

Lachy could be in real strife. Depending on how hard the court wants to come down there is provision for jail time.

Dear me, what a dick.

Hopefully the season is done before his court appearance so there are no further distractions from this.

On the footy front, can I ask an awkward question?

Have we really missed Hunter in the last two games?

I think it's going to be a bit like the Daniel situation. Think you don't miss him because the team playing well sometimes coincided with him being out, but once he's back realise he adds a lot of value and you're better off with him.

Going back to last year the biggest change in the way we played is pretty much being reflected in the change in our play this year. Some tightening up of selection and everyone taking a good attitude into the games, defending the ground well, putting on pressure around the ball and attacking with vigour and taking a risk.

Thanks. Good reply.

I have a hard time watching footy this year, following some positional changes etc.

Who has taken Hunter's place and how have they gone? Richards?

We played Jacko on the wing in round two which was most notable, and have rotated a few through both wings since including Jong, Toby, Ed, Latham, Baz and a couple of others from what I could tell from watching on TV.

I think so he makes us better. Gut runs finds it and is so important between the arcs.
