Collingwood players involved in assault?

[Sanecow]

Collingwood players Chris Tarrant and Ben Johnson are under investigation by Victoria Police over a weekend assault that left a man unconscious.

"The club is extremely disappointed that both players were out late at night,"

Yeah, that's the real issue, they stayed up after Fat Cat.

They must be so confident they'll lose against the Crows, they're already preparing for Port Adelaide for Round 20...

May miss this week.

May miss the rest of the year.

May not be with the pies next year.

The last 2 would be a pretty tough stance to take, but was mentioned as possibilites on the news.

How late are we talking? Like 11:00 pm late or 3:00 in the morning late?

"He was in a good mood, so I don't know what went wrong," one patron said.

Three men taunted Tarrant, 25, from the car then climbed out and took him on as others joined in, the source said.

Well derrrr!

I have no idea what actually happened, but footy players (especially ones as high profile as Tarrant) really do walk around with a big target around their necks for anyone who thinks they are a big man.

But Eddie wants them to play
Shows the huge difference in attitude between the Swans and Wobbles. Nick mouths off and gets dropped indefinitely, these guys get in a brawl and are told they are playing whether they like it or not.

Eddies an idiot,they should have not been out there at that time so THEY are responsible end of story.

The Pies are a joke. I hope they get mind-blowingly smashed by Adelaide this week.

I hope they get belted by a lowly Bombers outfit on home turf next week.

I bet you Tarrant and Johnson play this weekend.

They place their position on the ladder above all else, including playing by the same set of rules as everyone else.

We all know the drill - TAC dumps Tigers but not Pies. Pies play more Melbourne games than any other team and travel less. Pies deliberately throw their season to score draft picks. etc etc.

What's interesting is that out of the 11 'transgressions' that have occured this season by AFL players, the Pies are top of the ladder with 5 players involved across four separate incidents.

The two Paid the ultimate price for their late night partying.

They are being forced to wear that B&W striped jumper again.
They are too valuable to the team to leave out.

My job as coach is to do what's best for the club, the players and the members. The Magpies are obviously in a position to make an impact on the finals, so that influences my decision. Perhaps if we were 15th, like last year, I would be thinking differently.

What would've happened to these 2 if they played for the swans??
