  Didn't Wicks get two years for drug trafficking and Mau three years for attempted murder or something? Not that I'm in anyway condoning domestic violence, but we're hardly a team of angels....

    And have they set foot wrong since arriving? No. That's the point. Both those guys have a great attitude towards footy and the club. But others - e.g what people suggest about Hastings (despite never getting into trouble with the law) put him in that category on attitude alone. It's those types you don't want. Obviously we don't know if it's true regarding Hastings but the point is the same for similar players. Don't need big, self absorbed ego's.

  My point being, if we had this pious, righteous attitude being extolled in this blog we'd never have recruited guys like Wicks and Manu. If I remember correctly, even a young Jarryd Hayne got in big trouble for biting a woman in a nightclub once. Surely that would contravene a "no dickheads" policy? Then you had Hindmarsh and Sandow's gambling problems, chuck in Foran and Semi... the list goes on...
