Might feel better now that this formality has passed and play with more motivation and confidence.

It’s possible that a third party put the van in in Marlion’s name
Interesting decision for RFC now as to whether they let him play. Hopefully they do.
No violence seems involved so from that perspective any moral judgements seem easier.
With that said the white-collar crimes masked as grant programs of the previous federal government (IMO) far overwhelm anything Marlion has done - but crimes done with electronic numbers even though just as damaging as physical theft at least don't seem to have the same outrage associated with them.
We will see what happens.

You would expect the club to come out and say something pretty soon. (Perhaps they want to chat with Marlion first). I hope that they support him to play and maybe even throw a few barbs at the WA police and processes. It will need all the tiger faithful at the G to drown out the inevitable tirade and so on from opposition supporters!
If Saints supporters start to boo him expect supporters to get evicted
Media and AFL should come out strong against that behaviour after all they did that for Ugle-Hagen and Horne-Francis
He may not be permitted to travel to QLD after the bye. So if he misses this week and the next game, he will miss 3 weeks of footy which couldn't be good for his headspace.
This really is terrible news and my uneducated guess is that our man will front up against the Saints.
Yeah not convinced and whether it is best and safe for Marlion to play I am not sure.
For me, everything needed to go right from here on in for the tigers to make the 8 - the last 2 games started to right the ship but I fear this distraction is something we can now I’ll afford. Remember Marlions case is to be adjourned in August, terrible timing for an AFL footballer and the club.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we have seen the last of Marlion this year.
I worked for Telstra a long time ago, and we'd get billing complaints from folks in say, Gippsland, having calls registered in Burnie or Devenport. It was rare, very rare, but our trainers said it was just the location of the base station where the call registered, not where it was made.
Very circumstantial he was there, definitely not that he was there.
Even if there’s no problem with him playing this week, I wouldn’t if I were him, not until this whole mess has been sorted out. Some of the abuse on Twitter and the like is dreadful. I can imagine the abuse would be next level.
The report I read, said his phone was triangulated not just a ping, huge difference between the two. { does not prove who was in posession of the phone thou)
