Aaron Edwards

Re: Aaron Edwards

I never said drink driving was cheating. I said there is more to the story. Why would a guy caught speeding thats breath tested positive not go to the station for the full tests?

He went to the Station but refused the Test

Why? Because he was on his way to training

A bit like Greg Blewitt get pinged on his way to a match - got a few runs too.

Might be the answer!

Depending on the location of the intercept to the nearest station with a machine and on-duty sergeant, it is likely that it would have taken no longer than 30 minutes to do the test.

Sorry, i don't think that is the logical answer.

Is Edwards one of the players suspected of two strikes ?

No, they are both well known Hawthorn players

I know that the stolen Doctors files were Hawthorn players.
I could be mistaken, but I thought that three interstate player were on two strikes when Edwards was with West Coast.

Re: Aaron Edwards

Yes just what the cheats want - transparency. There is more to this story than just a matter of speeding and a drink driving 1 off.
The AFL don't want to know cos a story like this can only harm their image. Deny all til its obvious.
You think North handled perfectly, seems to me they have taken WCE approach. He is a required player just they can't sack him, stuff like this will it bites them on the backside later. No doubt they are hiding the facts, they know the full story here and Edward's history.

I'm interested in a level playing field, again the cheats are laughing at us suckers that follow the sport thinking that it is level.

So do you honestly believe North handled this badly by getting on the front foot and letting the media know the complete details and to suspend the player?

So you reckon he had other "substances" in his body as well as alcohol? Interesting never really thought of that. Funny thing is W/C didn't rate him enough to keep him.

No other AFL team really rated him either, until he had a 100 goal season at Frankston.

I don't believe they handled this badly, in terms they did what they thought is best for their club at the time. Whether what they did is morally right and whether there will be long term issues is a different matter.

WCE rated him enough to draft him, he was well known to them and mentioned in the Kerr tapes. He was delisted for more than just football reasons.

Re: Aaron Edwards

I dont know the rules here but if Nth sacked him would the AFL allow them to bring in a rookie?
If not, then Nth would be playing one player short on the list for the rest of the season through no fault of their own.
Could this be why some players arent sacked but moved on or delisted at the end of the year?
We dont have a mid season draft or whatever to compensate for players who stuff up through no fault of the club, sadly clubs are penalised for this.
Its okay to write up contracts for players to behave but if they dont the club suffers.
What are the rules and regs if you sack a player?

Re: Aaron Edwards

He should be kicked to the curb. He's had enough chances.

Re: Aaron Edwards

Got 4 year cancellation and disqualification of licence and $1500 fine. Plus $5000 club fine.

Well, they knew what he was like when they drafted him.

This ranks at the very, very pointy end of traffic sentencing. So who at North is responsible for transporting him around Melbourne and Australia for the next 4 years???
