    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.

    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...
    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    According to this Eddie said it about 20 minutes ago.

    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.
