Just give him some more community service after all he has proven he is reformed

He should be made to watch the Gold Coast game.

Or then there's the seemingly radical view that he's been judged and sentenced by the court of the land and it's not really any of the AFL's business.

Scotland protected his brother.Good on him.And if you knew his brother you would understand.Scotlands track record aint flash i will admit,but on this occasion i think if you guys were a little more aware of the leadup to this scuffle you would not be so harsh on Scotland.

Nothing good happens at 2am, even more so after a skinful of booze.

I would normally agree with you BigKev, but it was reported that Scotlands Lawyer argued for a lenient sentence based on the fact that Scotland had already undertaken community service voluntarily and that he was to be panalisede by the club. Surely the lawyer would have sounded out the club, AFL and AFLPA before making such a statement in court.

It does in the bedroom

When did he prove he's reformed?

I think Scotty and the club have used the 'wants to be a fireman after football' story a few times now to get him out of trouble.

Facts like these won't stop the bogans and no-shows (many of whom support clubs with worse reputations of behaviour) baying for blood.

Facts like which?

It is not Carlton's fault that a magistrate in New South Wales gave Scotland special treatment by placing him on a two-year good-behaviour bond after he was found guilty of assault. But it is true the Blues supplied the player with a legal team not available to the three other men involved - all of whom were convicted.
The community has every right to feel aggrieved by the leniency received by Scotland. Offenders escape lightly in the legal system every day but how galling for the public and embarrassing for the AFL that Scotland was treated like a protected tenant because he is a footballer who would lose money and miss training in Arizona.

..and if Snotland knew his brother, he'd have been able to see trouble coming a mile off and avoided it.. ..seriously, he's a repeat offender is this, even using the "fireman" excuse a 2nd time when he ought to know [as do the courts actually] that he's no longer able to join even before any of this..

..the club said they'd fine and suspend, lets face it the cheap fines handed out are more often than not 5large, and nabcup suspensions can be figured into his pre-season training loads, not bad for a veteran.. ..it's weak, saying one thing and doing another..
