Interesting he wasn’t at the club over a lengthy period of pre season . .

Yeah If I had to take a stab at what’s happened, I’d say he has reconnected with old friends/family during the Xmas break and got caught up in what they were doing , 100 percent guess work of course , let’s hope his level of involvement was minor
Going back a bit, but brings back memories of Andrew Krakouer
If he was a Geelong player he probably deserves it.
Got no idea of Foosh's innocence or guilt, but unfortunately he's got history. The same as plenty of coppers have been proven to have history over the years.
Aggravated burglary is a very serious crime to be charged with and the police would not be doing so without concrete evidence. Based on the charges he would be looking at a short term of imprisonment.
not blaming anyone .. just stating a fact .. Midlands police have had an interesting reputation for a long time, and the person i know who had a run in with them was indeed white .. but didn't play for Geelong ...
We didn't move Pell on so as not to prejudice the case so we damn better stand with Marlion.
I reckon the high standards start dropping once you start making allowances for players and coaches. Certain players starting pre-season later, coaches having longer breaks etc. All in to do the hard yards at the same time unless exceptional circumstances apply
keeping standards high requires a lot of effort.
Which is why they slip.

That's what I'm hoping happened.
One of the charges is receiving stolen goods. Be good if he inadvertently received them, or better still, had no involvement at all.
Nothing more than a guess, but this type of scenario sounds like a strong possibility. Thing is though, Foosh has been doing mentoring n guidance work with youngsters at our Korin Gamadji institute the last few years. This is exactly the type of stuff he should be pushing back against not getting himself back into.
Wasn’t it family loyalty that got Andy Krakouer into strife when he belted that other guy up over in W.A and spent some time in the big house as a result?
Can only hope for his wife and kids that this is a misunderstanding over misadventure.
Been such a great role model for many young indigenous kids and pray that his reputation can be preserved.
I too worry about some of the posts I’ve seen here from so called Richmond supporters. Truely worrying how quickly some have jumped in and condemned him without knowing any facts.
