News Taylor Convicted - Gets Suspended Sentence

[CoggaRules]

Done and dusted he has been given the chance now. Now all we have to do is take our heads out of the sand and mentor kids like Troy and dont let them anywhere near that type of shit without supervision. He will be a marked man now, there will be dick heads wanting to instigate something to bring him down...mark my words.

so i'm thinking that troy will spend this new years at either march or gales place !

I have been concerned about this all year. For our club; but more importantly the kid. The charges (as I recall them); together with his criminal history made depressing reading.

It would appear that the charges have been reduced from a 'hamburger with the lot' to a 'junior burger'.

Best of all, Dave Bamber was a colleague of mine (perhaps five or so years ahead of me at the Vic Bar). You would never hope to find a more likeable, compassionate person. Hell - he moved to the NT from Melbourne to assist indigenous Australians. Troy could not have dreamed of a better 'draw'.

I haven't read the linked articles - for how long was the three months suspended?

Good to hear Barx.

Tiger Taylor convicted of assault

Taylor was sentenced to two-and-a-half months jail, suspended with the rising of the court.

Magistrate David Bamber also placed Taylor on a two-year good behaviour bond.

I'm not sure if that means the sentence is suspended for the term of the good behaviour bond (two years)?

I know Troy'"s uncles were very pissed of with him & sat him down for a few choice words before this all became public. He thinks the world of his grandfather & uncles who are sporting legends in NT. Wont stuff up again & disappoint his family or the Richmond Football Club.

Great to hear. I hope he can become a best 22 player for us next year.

No worries, all the best for this Saturday.

thats fantastic news to hear that his elders are in his ear & dictate what is the correct thing for troy.

with these indigenous boys the word of an elder holds more weight than any law or football club and the family backlash at misbehaveing would be the last thing taylor would want.

good luck troy & be the best you can for both your families now
because you are now part of the tiger family which is an honour.

Very pleasing to hear the elders telling him what's what, although you'd expect any kid's elders to tell him some home truths if he had TT's history. Hopefully they also impressed on him what an opportunity he has with us, because this kid is as talented as Jurrah. He and Griffiths have the talent to give us a very potent forward line. Come on Troy, we're all behind you lad!
