Re: Tony Liberatore charged with assault
The purist in me says it doesn't matter for whom. The pragmatist says that the human gorilla who shoved poor little Libba against the wall thought he was going to vote against Pearson. It's time to put an end to leftist gorillas targetting frail former football players.Comment

I didn't, but whatever shape they now are in, Jarman 1997 was brilliant in that last quarter. We had several opportunities to seal it.Comment

Bulldogs icon learns fate over ugly polling booth scuffle
Western Bulldogs legend Tony Liberatore has escaped conviction over an ugly confrontation with an election official at a pre-poll booth prior to the 2022 state election.
The 57-year-old faced the Broadmeadows Magistrates? Court on Tuesday charged with unlawful assault at a voting centre in Moonee Ponds just after 6pm on November 25 last year.
The court heard Liberatore became aggressive after he was told by a female election worker that he was too late to vote.
A police summary alleged he pushed the worker to the left side of her body, forcing her into a wall.
The official did not back down and again told Liberatore he was too late to vote.
?The accused then grabbed the complainant by her right forearm and pushed her with his other hand,? a summary read.
?The accused continued to use his forearm to push past the complainant.
?She let the accused know she would be contacting police and decided to de-escalate the situation and let him vote.?
The official was uninjured during the confrontation.
Police arrived about 6.25pm and were told by Liberatore that the worker also pushed him.
The court heard the Brownlow Medallist has no criminal history and is a significant contributor to charities such as Neale Daniher?s FightMND foundation.
He was placed on a diversion plan following an agreement between prosecutors, defence and the complainant.
Magistrate Bob Kumar ordered Liberatore to make a $1000 donation to the Royal Children?s Hospital and be of good behaviour for a period of three months.
?And that?s done ? now you can say you?ve never been in any trouble before,? Mr Kumar said.
The AFL star appeared via video link as he was recovering from ankle surgery the previous day.
Liberatore ? the father of current Dogs star Tom Liberatore ? played 283 senior games for the Dogs during his decorated career.
He now owns and operates Liberatore First Aid, which sells defibrillators and first aid kits online.Comment
