Scandal Charlie Curnow refuses breath test (result: licence suspended for 2 years, $4000 fine)

[CharacterFirst]

Some will do anything not to end up at Carlton?

I thought he was trying to dodge the *EFC.

 

[fishardansin]

Good on him. Who are those cops to harass him? Don't they know who he is? He's Charlie Curnow, CHARLIE ******* CURNOW!!

 

[the_interloper]

Culture.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Heard he's a total tool. I originally gave him the benefit of the doubt, but nah, not now.

I'm giving this comment a one hand clap.

 

[wahawk]

According to his draft profile he plays like Jack Darling.

So he's probably a 3rd round pick then

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Probably wasn't too much over the limit, just a few pints.

Sliding to 56 at Geelong…

Wells strikes again….

Not a chance in hell but worth a shot…

Go Catters

Couldn't be more wrong mate. Has a great heart and great intentions and grown up surrounded by great people. Complete opposite of a ' typical private grammar school type'. Grown up on a farm in a small town on the coast. Just made a silly mistake and if he weren't a draft prospect it wouldn't even be in the news.

Stop drinking and driving Charlie and you'll be fine

 

[Aussie in exile]

Surely refusing a breath test is an admission of guilt.

 

[Glorious couch life]

As undead creatures, I'm pretty sure vampires don't breathe... The young scamp probably didn't want his cover blown.

 

[Silvagnis]

Fitness will spike even further if he rides a bike to training like Ed does. Or Ed forces him to. Scary thought if you consider their genetics and the family addiction to running.

I have read numerous quotes about Curnows incident strictly being a "one off" etc. Spoke to someone this morning who knows the kid fairly well and said that young Ed loves a drink so I'm a bit pessamistic on this being a "one off" incident. Having said that, i can't see it affect his draft order selection to dramatically. Still think he will end up Carlton with his brother.

 

[Cylon7]

Dodge a breath test? No problem. The AFL doesn't care when it comes to the Draft. So long as you don't criticise the hierarchy. That's the only deal breaker.

 

[thegrach]

Geez, the Hird offended is palpable...

Would be a bit surprised if that's true about Ed loving a piss up, as he and his sister as far as we know are consummate professionals as athletes. But then again one could still enjoy a drink in the off-season even with that being the case I guess.

Unless Charlie is a total left field moron, IMO we shouldn't have too much to worry about as long as he knuckles down and trains hard.

 

[Cylon7]

Here's the problem with AFL and drafting/recruiting issues. They don't care about:
- breath testing refusals
- cocaine abuse
- physical violence e.g. breaking jaws
- domestic violence
- social media misdemeanours
although they claim they do.

There is only one crime. Do not criticise AFL hierarchy even if there is reason to do so.

 

[andrewb]

Big lad, I still can't work out how he got up Jake Carlisle's nose

 

[Cylon7]

Make all AFL injunctions public.

 

[KevinTaylor]

You can't just blood test someone if they don't want to be blood tested because it involves putting a needle in someone's arm...

fk me i wish someone had told me that.

 

[KevinTaylor]

The point of the match that killed any chance of wc getting any closer, knocked the wind out of the sails( subject closed )

Agreed. Delist.

 

[KevinTaylor]

Automatic licence loss for 2 years if you refuse a breath test. That's been legislated for years to close a legal loophole people were exploiting.

He's screwed now. Likely needs to pay the Magistrates Court a visit as well.

Don't quote me but at least he doesn't have a 'positive reading' of 0,28 or whatever. Id suggest he did the smart thing after smashing a few coldies down.

What, drink drive? Yeah, smart stuff. Real culture contributor for the Blues.

He probably just stupidly drank a beer or two as a P plater like some of my dumb idiot mates do, and didn't want to get done.

Obviously, that's illegal as a p plater. Difference between that and smashing down ten pints and then driving.

You're right, as opposed to the culture of bending over for opposition players and teams year in and year out on-field. 2016 will be the 10th year in a row you finish bottom 8, the winning culture is strong at Demonland
