One aspect of this case that caught my eye was he was in the US as part of some commercial deal he has with an energy drink provider. These are the type of deals clubs like Collingwood broker with sponsors to help keep in demand players by involving pseudo payments that are not counted in their salary cap. I'm very confident that the deal entailed him not doing much at all in return for cash or cash in kind eg an all expenses paid end of season trip.
Well its all backfired spectacularly here, but the AFL needs to police these deals better. If we had those going, Dawson might be lining up in red and white again in 2021!Comment

Holy cow. I’ve been missing in NFL and Cricket land.
Have I missed the Chad adulation party?
Is the music still playing, can I start outlining the virtues of “Chadism.

I want to know how he was able to get to New York? For normal people you have to tick the “not returning to Australia for more than three months box” to get permission to leave.
Surly Collingwood didn’t give him a three month travel pass.Comment

DeGoey - looks like the Pies are finally trying to clean up their slimy culture by immediately banning him from their AFL program and club facilities - "a proud moment for the Collingwood Football Club" LOL!
Don't reckon it would be very nice to be caught up in the US justice system, he's in for a "monster" few weeks waiting for his next court appearance on 6th December, then Xmas, then NY to look forward to :-)
The guy doesn't learn, could be the end of AFL for him with as all club's should be finally putting respect for women culture ahead of the short term on field gain by signing players with ability but poor attitude to women.
I'm proud we made a stand on this last yearComment

Apparently has engaged the law firm Harvey Weinstein has been using. Wonder who is putting up the money for that?
A reputable firm of lawyers? De Goey will look funny wobbling into court with a walking frame!
Much to have a chuckle about at the Pies expense at present. I so want for GWS to bid on Daicos at pick 2, the pick they got cheap from the Pies in last years ND. That Ned Guy was a scream last year, I'm missing himComment

Been watching quite a bit of Bert Newton specials highlighting his magnificent TV and stage career. A true entertainer which the likes we won't see again. I'd forgotten what a proud Fitzroy supporter he was being born and bred in Fitzroy. He wore the Guernsey and gave the club a few plugs on live TV on several occasions. Made me think how he felt when the club moved/merged with the Brisbane Bears and if he'd still followed them passionately thereafter?
P.S. The Don Lane Show was compulsive viewing in my family back in the day. I always thought "Hey Hey it's Saturday" and then the "Footy Show" filled that evening live TV void which Ch 9 seemed good at producing. Sadly now days it seems like an endless procession of mindless reality tv shows.Comment
