    https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/afl/news/shannon-grant-facing-assault-charges

    He was one of our coaches just a couple of years ago IIRC.
    Pretty long list of charges it seems , he always seemed a bit fiery , think I read he has had a few run ins over the years

          There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

              With the immortal line "The winner of the Norm Smith Medallist". May well have been pissed on the day.

                  He disappeared very quietly.I remember at the time the Club didn't comment on his departure which I found unusual.

                          At least the system did the right thing by jailing him.

                                          I don't like his chances on appeal. The courts are starting to take a very dim view on Family Violence, particularly with injury assaults.

                                              Starting to? So disappointing they are only starting to.

                                                  When I say starting to, it is a trend that has been building for around 3 or 4 years on my observations.

                                                  Essentially, from what I have observed anecdotally, any Family Violence assault where there are injuries, imprisonment is always on the table unless there's a compelling reason why it shouldn't be. This is particularly true where it is in breach of an intervention order.
