Was it ever confirmed that some of the incriminating evidence seized by police post-Kim Duthie raiding Sam Gilbert's computer included a video of Zac Dawson losing a bet and having to put a condom on Nick Riewoldt with his mouth?

How the flock would St Nick keep it hard when he saw Dawson's mouth approaching it?
:rolleyes:
 
Speaking of a footballing dynasty. When one was delisted by Carlton, he helped himself to a substantial amount of merchandise out of the club store on the way out of Visy Park. Club only realized when numerous ads turned up selling the missing merchandise turned up on Ebay matching the family address.

A former player who asked the Carlton Past Players Association and the AFLPA to pay for his knee replacement, only for him to get caught out not long after that he'd had the operation almost a decade earlier caused quite the buzz.

There was more to the story about Laurie Angwin being sacked from Carlton. The same day it occurred, a number of senior players set a trap for him, leaving a wallet full of cash unattended on a bench in the locker room, and hid, waiting for him to take the bait. Angwin walked in, saw the wallet, and did as expected, leading to half a dozen of his teammates to walk in and question him, resulting in a firey forward pocket from Frankston half his size belt the suitcase out of him.

Yeah "directly in play".

Same degree of misrepresentation as "slightly inebriated".

He even apologised to Swallow for the off-the-ball s**t act.

The god botherer had it coming.
 
A Brisbane Lions player with the same name as a prominent boy band member of that era was sacked after being discovered as the culprit behind nightly pizza deliveries to John Northey's house.
 
Similar era - Brisbane took a punt on a player who'd been dominating a local league whilst on day-release from prison and had been recently released on parole. Played two senior games before being sacked after being caught robbing teammate Adrian Fletcher's house.

Fast forward to a few years later, and Fremantle take a punt on the same bloke......only to get sacked for robbing new Fremantle recruit Adrian Fletcher's house again.
 
Mid 2000s, a premiership player who had walked out on their long term club and demanded a trade, spent the final day of trade week sitting in their car out the front of their former home ground with his requested club's jumper on, having called several media outlets to photograph him in his new club's kit.

.....Only for the trade deadline to come and go, and said player then had to go inside and complete pre-season with his teammates fully aware what had just happened. Had to wait another 12 months to make it happen.
 
Justin Murphy was advised not to come to Geelong's Mad Monday after his reaction to the Milburn/Silvagni incident the week before. Turned up anyway only to cop a beating from an 18-year old Matthew Scarlett.

Thanks Wikipedia
"De-listed for disciplinary reasons (by Brisbane), Johnson returned to South Fremantle and took part in their 1997 finals campaign.[2][3] He nominated for the 1997 AFL Draft and was chosen by Fremantle with pick 32, but would never play a senior game for them. "

I thought Andrew Gowling delivered pizzas there quite often too

Andrew Gowers? Yeah, I heard that too, many years ago. (He's the father of current player Billy).

I also heard that he and some mates once had some sort of challenge about who could get to a particular venue (can't remember where) the quickest. Andy jumped out of a taxi before it came to a complete stop and twisted an ankle. Missed weeks, blamed it on a training run.

Anyone remember Darren Tarczon? North under 19s, then Port VFL (quite the alma mater)

Carlton picked him up for a few games.

Only man to ever get the better of Carey in a one on one square go.

According to Flem street lore, Tarcz used to enjoy punching on with the Flem jacks. For recreation's sake and all that.

Story goes Duck and Tarczon were out on the pull/drink/razz and got into a blue in a club, which involved them bashing some blokes senseless.

Cops came and Carey, who was starting to get known, may have shat himself and "cooperated with police" in order to make things go away.

This upset Darren's Flemington-bred understanding of the laws of the universe - you don't talk to jacks, you especially don't dog your mates - so he gave Carey a flogging in the Arden Street carpark after training one week.

Only ever heard that rumour from one bloke, but he was the kind who'd know.

Snake_Baker - ever heard that one?

EDIT - here's Tarczon laying Bluey McKenna out in one of his few games at the top level.

Tarczon was a Kensington product. Not Flemington. I played juniors with him.
