Some much for the no "DH" policy as Dimma would say . We don't need to recruit another Connors. Edwards had alcohol issues at North.

Oh you're a tight arse too ?

Enough with the piracy.

[Penelope]

So much for our no idiots policy.

I'd cut him.

you could just get Liam Jurrah to do that

[Stripes]

What 

Hope he gets that out of his system immediately or he will have the shortest career at tigerland in history.

He's going to have his work cut out gaining the respects of the players, coaches and supporters now.

Idiot.

INTOXICATED TIGER FINED

RICHMOND recruit Aaron Edwards has been locked up by police just a day and a half after being traded to the club.

The former North Melbourne and West Coast forward was arrested for being drunk in a public place at about 12.30 on Sunday morning and spent about four hours behind bars before being released.

"No charges were laid," Richmond said in a statement on Monday afternoon.

Victoria Police confirmed that a 28-year-old Docklands man had been booked.

"The man was arrested in Collins St, lodged in police cells and given a penalty notice for being drunk in a public place," a police spokesperson told AFL.com.au.

The fine was $563.

Edwards was traded from the Kangaroos in the final hours of the Gillette AFL Trade Period on Friday.

Apparently Robbo wants to talk about Azza Edwars now on Sen

Quite an odd rant by Robbo as what he said could apply to most traded/recycled players who were on the outer at their old club.


* Robbo said he has the same concerns about Aaron Edwards as Rodan. A mature player now at his third club.

* If he's all the things Craig Cameron said he is then why isn't he still at North doing these things. He has more talent than Hansen and Tarrant - he kicks the ball well and is a pretty good mark. Obviously Richmond want him to help out Vickery and Riewoldt. However when the whips were cracking at North I didn't see enough of Edwards standing up in a game or him even getting a game. He's not a bad player but he doesn't do enough often enough.

* Harford said Aaron Edwards is just a smaller (shorter) version of Brad Miller.

Maybe he's a bit like Fev, Aker etc. The club will onlu put up with their bad attitude while they are killing it onfield.

I hope the drunken episode is used to motivate him into having a great preseason and fantastic year for the club.

Could spend a great deal of the year kicking goals for the reserves otherwise

I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy, but i'd like to know a little more about the incident. Is getting peed on a saturday night in the off-season really that bad?  I guess it is, if he was absolutely pickled on the street. 
I'm peed in public most weekends.   

[Penelope]

there wouldnt be too may people not sloshed on collins st at 12.30 sunday morning.

so does that mean he was that drunk he stood out, or just unlucky

[Rodgerramjet]

I think we actually need to be a bit careful too. Its not beyond the realm of possibility that this was a set up. There are definetly people around that know that Aaron likes a drink and that he probably would be out on the streets on a sunday morning after having a few beers. Nice way to give the tiges a nice kick in the guts. After all he wasnt arrested for anything no crime was committed how many people would have been on the streets in melbourne over the weekend drunk, hundreds I would say and he managed to get picked out, coincidence I think not. But still they new he was suseptible. watch your back Aaron.

[wayne]

If he was playing for Norf this wouldn't be news, but now that he's with a big 4 club, this will help sell digital passes.

[mightytiges]

Shinboner spirit and culture 

Some may say it'd be harsh but the Club would have every right to rip up his one-year contract and boot him out.

Oh you're a tight arse too ?

Well I do have Scottish in me  .

[gerkin greg]

WTF would Harf & Robbo know FFS

and what "drunken episode" LMAO

[gerkin greg]

says more about the nanny state of Victoria than this bloke 

my god what a bad ass 

[Smokey]

Regardless of who it is or where it was, a $563 fine for being drunk and that's all?  Seriously?  If this was anything like fair dinkum then 9/10 people walking the streets of Melbourne on any given Sat night should be booked.  Must be more to the story or he has been a victim of the tall poppy syndrome.  But either way.......$563 for that?  Gotta get the state out of bankruptcy one way or the other I suppose!
