Aaron Edwards a Tiger [official]

How many of you complaining about it can honestly say you haven't been drunk in public? Spuds

And ended up in jail? Probably none of us. Edwards should be cut. Dodgy decision to begin with

It's hardly jail. It's lock up i.e custody for your own and other's protection. They let you go once you show some sobriety.

Officially a worse decision than the Miller experiment. Pointless, stupid and irresponsible decision by Craig Cameron. 

100% right. Funny thing is this site wouldv'e gone into meltdown if it was Edwards, Melbourne's new recruit or Edwards Carlton's new recruit.

Your trying to create a good culture yet bring in a 3 time repeat offender

Your an idiot Cameron

I wouldn't be suprised when the next indiscretion of his involves one D.Martin.
He should NEVER have been picked up and Gale should look to replace Cameron ASAP.

Vote 1 Neil Balme.

Lucky break for Edwards as a Saints star has been arrested overnight

Gram it is

ch 10 & ch 7 just reported that they are not allowed to say what Gram was in court for today. If they'd can't say either can OER. Though the AFL web-site is saying stalking allegedly.  . Sorry for the edit daniel

Yes but the rules tightened up only recently, and considering most of you will probably be a bit too 'mature' then to go clubbing in Melbourne CBD you can remove that outlier.

Hey hey hey.  You obviously haven't heard of me or my latest club hit!  Grandad Style by PiSY

This site has gone into meltdown 

Over a $563 fine

LMFAO

Its not the money i have an issue with. It couldve been 5 cents. If you think its cool to be locked up after being at the club for 3 days then thank god the club dont think like you.

its the fact we have brought a bloke who is a repeat offender to the club when IMO there was no need.

How is Edwards any different than Connors. Same rubbish we dont need

Bless you captain good!  Did kids throw rocks at you at school ?  Do they still?

Pretty clever the way they've done the job.
Ch 10 say Gram was in court but can't say what the charges were.
Ch 9 says a St Kilda player was in court and detailed the charges.

[Penelope]

see how easy it is to avoid litigation?

A St Kilda AFL player has appeared in a Melbourne court accused of breaching an intervention order.

The player, who cannot be named for legal reasons, allegedly sent 98 text messages and 16 Facebook messages to the woman, AAP reports.

The Moorabbin Magistrates Court heard that the player was charged in September with two counts of breaching an intervention order.

He then continued to contact the woman after being bailed, the court heard.

He was arrested last night and remains in custody.

Police have opposed bail saying they fear that he will contact the woman.

In January 2009, Edwards was caught driving way over the speed limit by police and found to have alcohol in his system. He was immediately suspended by the club for the first four matches of the 2009 AFL premiership season and fined $5,000.

In May 2009, Edwards had his licence revoked for four years for drink driving and fined $1,500 for refusing a breath test.

October 2012. Edwards was fined for being drunk in a public place early on Sunday morning and faces internal discipline from the Tigers - just three days after joining his new club.

This is the guy who you blokes want at the club

For the record he lost his licence for refusing a breath test and as he had a relevant prior conviction within the last 10 years his licence was cancelled and disqualified for a minimum of 4 years(mandatory sentencing).  In relation to the fine for being drunk in a public the amount of the fine is harsh if the matter had gone to Court more than likely he would have been discharged from penalty as he spent 4 hours in the cells.

Not a good way to start at a new club. Hoping no relapses. But having said it occurred in the off season and he was not caught doing anything else.

I hope he is a mean drunk, about time we got some mongrel into our team.

Aaron 'pee-er' James

[tigtuff12]

bad track record but hard to be too harsh on a bloke having some cans with his mates/ex-team mates...

that being said - you'd think he'd be doing everything to a) ensure he is fit and healthy heading into new team and new season b) impress his NEW team mates & coaching staff...

I don't begrudge him having a drink, but I can't tolerate and/or accept stupidity....hopefully the "4th wake up call" required??!!

Now owes onfield...lol @ the new Aaron James
