Is there a proper sub forum for posting about off field indiscretions ?

Was only a matter of time that the bubble of blues goodness burst at Ikon Park. Hopefully the young fella learns from this and bounces back bigger and better.

Just delist him now and be done with it.

Not what the kid needed in a season with a new coaching group to watch closely over the playing group.

Not good!
Sounds like some extra sessions in a boxing gym would help.

That's not surprising. It would have been a "shame job" for Smith and he would have felt a lot less uncomfortable with another Noongar.

Shame about this. Lets hope he gets through it OK (and can put in some more time on the speedball).
Hopefully he learns something from it.

Quote:New Carlton coach Brendon Bolton has already read the proverbial riot act to Smith, who was involved in a drunken fight last weekend in the Chapel Street precinct.
This is an important change of approach, straight & direct it seems.
The other thing is, how he reacts to this indiscretion will either make Smith as a player or completely finish his career at Carlton.
Garlett & Robinson didn't fare to well after their late-night box on but they did lie about the circumstances which did amp up the seriousness of the issue.
