Damn thoughts are with the Riewoldt family such a sad loss.

I was only at the Royal Melbourne Hospital yesterday and will be back there Friday for my mothers operation, I really find it hard in these places.

 

[LanceRomance]

Absolutely tragic. Can't begin to imagine what they're going through

Very sad, interesting that it was brought up on one of our forums yesterday

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Condolences to the Riewoldts. Can't imagine how hard that would be to deal with.

It was. I actually bought it up after someone had said they'd seen Nick in the hospital. I had no idea just how bad it was though.

Agreed, Nick is one of footy's good guys and was clearly a loving and doting brother to his sister, often visiting her in hospital, this tragedy will totally wipe him out emotionally, having lost a couple of family members to cancer, its something you can never get over.

**** Cancer, so many good people have lost their lives to this insidious disease ..

My father was 1 of those people that lost the battle with cancer, what a horrific disease it is!! Thoughts are with the reiwoldt family... Life just really sucks sometimes!!

Very sorry for your loss Moe .. Must have been so heart breaking for you and your family, esp in the last few months. I pray for a cure for all forms of cancer in my lifetime.

Sad to read about Madeline's losing battle with cancer. Thoughts to Nick and extended family members.

Thanks mate, easily the worst thing that's happened to us... Just imagine those people that have sick babies that don't have long, just puts life into perspective!! We should be thanking god everyday...

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Can't imagine how it would feel to lose a sibling/child.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Half tempted to go down to the kennel on Saturday to watch the Sons of The Scray. I never attend non Carlton games live generally, but watching two AFL teams slug it out at the Whitten Oval is almost too irresistible.. Especially as million dollar Boyd is playing

Oh Jeffy

@melbournefc footballer Jeff Garlett fails to front court on a drink driving charge: http://short.ninem.sn/29dGNBO #9News

@melbournefc recruit Jeff Garlett will face court next month after failing to show up for today's appearance for drink-driving charges.

 

[Jeremias]

Culture.

Embarrassing excuse from Jeff - unaware of the court date due to recently moving house?

Please.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Immature & Irresponsible, Melbourne will probably make him captain....

I moved house, was lazy, and never got around to changing my address at VicRoads...

Missed a couple of speeding fines...the added fees made it a very expensive oversight...

His excuse is entirely reasonable...still embarrassing but...

Similar happened to me but with parking fines. I've heard worse excuses.

Oh dear, the wheels have fallen off . Drink driving is worse than the altercation he was involved in last year.

Drink driving on a suspended licence JR!

Totally agree

 

[DaVillaBlues]

To be fair to Jeffy, he didn't really have any solid form of family or role models growing up, I think that would have to be a significant factor in all his ill-disciplined behaviour.

I really hope Jeffy gets his act together for the sake of his little boy.

I am rather upset hearing about Jeffy's problems, was a favourite of mine here for years .

 

[Juddalenko]

It's unfortunate, but it is not an excuse.

 

[JamisonRun40]

DVB same here. I didn't realised he was on a suspended license. The only good thing it happened back in July so lets hope he is back on the right path.

Hopefully he can turn it around. The people he surrounds himself with would have a lot to do with it--he needs to grow up and do what's right by his son.
