News Yarran picks up Blue after drunken punch-up

[THE THIN MAN]

Carlton youngster Clem Smith has been heavily reprimanded and forced to apologise to the entire playing group after a drunken altercation in which he was struck.

Fairfax Media has been told that, at the request of police, he was picked up by former teammate Chris Yarran, who is now with Richmond, and driven away.

I have a feeling I might see a lot of red coloured usernames on this board today...

Yarran should be suspended for 6 months for getting involved

 

[Ned_Flanders]

I'm impressed anyone under the leadership of capt man bun knows how to throw a punch

Why would they ask Yarran to pick him up?

Weird.

They wanted someone who's extracted them self from that vile club to perhaps help the bloke.

I guess it's OK when the "altercation" is with a man.

I would be guessing that he thought if he got someone no longer playing with Carlton he may be able to sweep it under the rug. Also don't assume that just because Yarren no longer plays for Carlton that he has to abandon any of his friends he made there. It happens a lot with many players who move clubs. It's like how many people still have friends at their previous work place.

Typical Carlton squib though.

Gets in a fight, loses.

Missed my point. I fully support what Yarran did. My point is why does society get so outraged when a woman is threatened or assaulted so much more than a man? Is my life less valuable?

Sorry. Quoted the wrong person. I meant to have qouted _Cays_.

It's certainly not less valuable, but you are probably in a better position as a male to defend yourself against another male than what a woman would be.

Makes sense. I wasn't implying that Yaz couldn't have friends from Carlton, just the way it was written sounded strange. (In the article that is).

Oh behalf of the Carlton board, we are touched by your obvious care and concern for Smith and starting a thread to show your support.

Clearly he deserves a 12 month ban.

What, and let him off the hook? Playing for us is more than enough punishment....

Thats not true, i'd say a lot of females would be faster stronger and more able to defend themselves against male then myself. I agree with sumtingwong, assault is assault regardless of gender. Chris Yarran seems like a top bloke though, hopefully acts like this mean he's maturing and ready to get on with the job

, i'll pay that.

 

[DrMike]

Updated thread title so it's relevant to our board.

Don't throw stones and all that. There's no moral high ground.

C7 reporting that this dude was at Mr Miyagis just before the altercation..

Wouldn't surprise me, had a 10 course meal I hear. Just look at the size of him.

Gotta get the bulk back on after shredding for Stereos, bro.

Hopefully a video will emerge of a shirtless Clem and Martin equipped with bum bags doing the stereo shuffle...

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

i thought clem retired after one season to open a bbq chicken shop?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

So a chick throws punches and her club make her apologize???
Double standards.
