Wonder how long it'll be before Edwards takes Martin out on the piss, and then gets sacked as the scapegoat so that Martin doesn't cop any blame.

 

[kirbylovespurple]

so he was out having drinks, in the offseason (his holidays) and his club fines him for that? So i guess its not really a players offsesason break if they get busted for having a few... Clubs going overboard these days

Drinking during the off season? Hardly an issue, but s**t his timing could've been better. I guess that's the issue really.

Isn't he playing for Richmond though?

 

[KrakFiend]

Give him a life ban and burn his house down, completely unacceptable behaviour.

Now where did I leave my bong...

 

[UpTheGuts]

Is that a record?

We surely have an action against North.



How are goods considered as “acceptable quality” in the ACL?

In the old Trade Practices Act, goods could be sold if they were of “merchantable quality”. This generally meant that goods bought were reasonable in description and price. The new Chapter 3, Part 3-2, s 54 of the ACL demands that commercial operators have to sell goods that are of an “acceptable quality”.
Goods of an “acceptable quality” are:
• fit for the purposes for which goods of that kind are commonly supplied
• acceptable in appearance and finish
• free from defects
• safe and durable.
The section still requires that goods match its descriptions, but the change from “merchantable quality” to “acceptable quality” may mean that goods that are of merchantable quality might not be considered as acceptable to a consumer, if for instance there is minor blemish in the appearance of a product.(1) However, if the blemish is brought to the consumer’s attention, it may be regarded as a good of “acceptable quality” to the reasonable person if a consumer is aware of the defect, and continues with the transaction.

Its not drunk driving but will he face bigger consequences than the soft St Kilda response to Jack Steven's dd incident?
