Clem Smith altercation

[LP]

Disappointed he came off second best in the altercation and the fact he was there in the first place......he will either learn something and never do it again or be delisted if he does...lets give the kid another chance as I like his attack on the footy and his tackling...
The club seemed to have handled it ok ...season cant start quick enough I reckon, players are getting bored already...

Agreed, a 2nd year player on the piss during the pre-season, like he needs any more obstacles to make it as a player! He's barely cutting the mustard as it stands!

And coming after all those reports of an improved atmosphere at the club, the pessimist in me detects more spin!

Now the paranoid, why is a Nthmond player rescuing a Carlton player just days after the Dusty events emerged? Was the kid lured out on the piss? Not an excuse, he has free will, but hard to imagine any AFL player could make such a mistake voluntarily just days after the Martin incident!

Finally, you have to wonder why Caro's Rage goes front page with this story, headlining above the Martin police investigation, and the Hun doesn't even bother to report Clem's adventure yet, or at least it seems to have pulled it's version for now! Perhaps the balance Caro had to strike in the Dusty story left a bitter taste in her mouth for which the front page potting of a Carlton player was the only cure!

The Rage boosting this Clem story is using The Fly reporting technique. The Fly saw a massive pile of Rhino crap(Dusty) and while zig zagging on route to the Rhino crap nirvana it got distracted by a bird dropping(Clem)!
