I have heard, reliably, that there were some shenanigans with the charge originally. Newman's lawyer tried to get a copper to down grade the charge. The prosecutor found out and made a complaint and there was then an internal investigation.

Maybe that is why there is no wriggle room with the charge?

Not sure, perhaps? That aside, I would suspect the prosecution would feel they have a winnable case to go for GBH though in any case. If there was only slight evidence that could make out that offence then I am not sure it is in the taxpayer's interest for them to be pursuing it ... although, Lloyd Rayney...

What came of his mid-game walk out?

I take it he is getting delisted at year end?

The kid can play but has issues so I hope they can sort him out .
Why is it Freo can sort these kids out and have a heap of no names that have stood up and produced
Eagles need to get a good recruiter

Yeah Vozzo was one and Woodhouse don't know the others , but I think they have failed dismally , Jesus get the guys from Freo or Collingwood or Geelong they keep coming up with kids that stand up straight away and now they've made Vozzo director of footy , not happy about that one

Vozzo wasn't a recruiter.

Freo set up their head of recruiting in Victoria because they are smart. Football's most populous state with most of the players drafted yet we are investing the majority of our time in WA. I know we produce amazing top end talent but everyone see's them and we barely get those players. Vic is where it's at.

Yep it's the Luke Parkers and Dan Hanneburys of the world who go in the 30s and 40s we need to be getting more of.

Yeah but how,bout guys like Mzunga and this new aboriginal kid Simpson, he looks good both from wa
 
WC were heavily interested in Simpson. He was involved in the club prior to drafting IIRC. We just simply traded the pick away.

Mzungu, and our drafting has been ok.

Sorry but Can't agree there,we got Dalzeil, Cripps,Hutchinson,Scooter,Rosa,Gaff, Priddis,Shepherd,Shuey whilst are good in their own right are all the same type of player, not a lot of pace or potent disposals in our midfield And still no 1small damaging forward ,we are on if we have our best side but in reality with injuries it's not going to,happen , i dont think we can keep,all,these guys,you see them against good midfields like Freo,Geelong,Hawks,Sydney they get pushed aside
 
Dazzle and hutchings are midfield backups. Scooter is an above average midfielder. Rosa has been a decent wingman, Gaff will be a good- above average wingman and Shepherd is coming along. I think there's a place for Priddis in our midfield where a lot of people on this board don't (don't forget he was taken in the rookie draft)

You look at our spine and it's good. Midfield is ok in my opinion, need 1 or 2 pacey outsiders but I think we're looking ok for 2014.
 
Cripps, Scooter and Shep have pace. I actually didn't mind the progress Cripps made this year, I also like to think he has the capacity to rotate through the middle later on in his career which will make him valuable. He needs to work on his disposal tho.

We got him for a pick in the 40s in a weak draft, that was not bad business by any means.

Did any of you even read the list from Fivey? There are 2 Vic scouts, plus another one in Victoria, Rohan O'Brien, he's the important one. Our recruiting, as of last year, I believe, is now based in Melbourne.
Woodhouse has done a fine job over the years, and I've been a critic at times, but to single the brothers out is to narrow the focus too much. ;)

Still we should have a scout in SA, NSW and QLD. Yeah it costs money but 'we're Rich Bitch'

We do, just not full time.

EDIT Anyway, think this is getting a fair way off-topic - plenty of other threads for this stuff.
