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)!
I'm guessing Yarran is a close friend hence came and got him. You can have friends outside your club. Yarran's last game was for Carlton anyway. Your friends don't even have to play football. Martin and Smith transgressed on the same night, it wasn't after.
19yo's are, well, 19yo's. All been 19. That won't change because they are play AFL football. Some are immature and make mistakes. From here though you learn from that mistake. I'm sure Bolton's foot clean up his arse and the fine that's coming will help that learning along. One mistake we can handle, especially for a kid, a second mistake we don't tolerate quite as easily. If he does it again he'd want to be play some real good footy otherwise he will be playing elsewhere, likely in the WAFL.
