    Kind of weird that I need to somehow defend myself against 'hyperbole' for using the word few...but here is the official definition according to Mirriam Webster (hopefully they're an acceptable resource):

    Few can be defined as:

    1: consisting of or amounting to only a small number
    2: at least some but indeterminately small in number

    Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/few (to ensure I'm not sensationalising things any further )

    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.

          No one is arguing against that, though.

                    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.

                        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.

                              So what do you think happened then?

                                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.
