Sad, very sad.
Hopefully he can get his act together but I suspect it will take at least a couple of years.

I'm still on holidays and have had a few. Did I read correctly that this involves running a red light? Not condoning criminal activity but surely this is on the lesser end of significance?
Yep. Way better than other stories of sports players involved in domestic abuse, rape or drugs.
I'll clarify it a bit further:
- Probably driving without a license
- Probably driving an unregistered vehicle
- Probably drink driving, not sure what he blew, however should not have been driving
- Probably drove through a red light that he should not have been going through, in an unregistered car, without a license, whilst perhaps being over the legal BAC limit.
If all of the above is correct, it's certainly a series of silly decisions.
One event. Not a prolonged reoccurrence of bad decisions.
Im gonna drive even though i shouldnt.
And he shouldnt have
And lucky that people werent injured or killed
I reckon the club knew. And if they didn’t this franks their decision.
Sad case all round.
That could be the case
When X was interviewed late last year he was optimistic about SS situation and things changed and was delisted
there was also the comments about rookie listing a player that had been delisted and that also didnt occur
Good luck to SS and hope he finds what he is looking for and plays some good football somewhere
Its a real shame though he certainly had the talent that could have played 200+ games
Well he has made a lot of choices that has got him to where he is now . So much talent . IF he makes different choices he might get on the Docker or Eagles lists at some time .
If the allegations are true, then it's a series of bad decisions.
No licence
Unregistered car
Drinking
red light
Hope he can turn his life around - must be hard having it all ahead of you in 2019 only to lose it all.
Lesser until he hits another car and kills someome you mean?
Picture can be painted anyway you want without the full evidence. Here's one that might suit:
Syd's out having a few drinks with a friend. He's had a couple but not excessive. He's slightly over the BAC. His mate drove them both there in his car as Syd can't drive cause his license is not valid. The mates car is unregistered, but Syd doesn't know that. While out the mate hurts himself bad, real bad. Needs hospital treatment immediately. Syd does the rash thing, cause he sometimes does that and grabs the keys, loads old mate into the car and drives within the speed limit to the hospital. He decides to flow through a red shortly after it changes because his mate is in a bad state.
Revenue Raiser Policeman armed with radar gun resting near the road pings the barely run red and stops the car. Syd explains the situation but RRP knows who he has stopped and recognises a quota filling payday and a good pub story.
Journo takes said truth and creates the 30 second lie to be sold as fact so Gerry Harvey can sell more junk. Gerry's sales plummet on good news. We need fear and outrage.

Found out today the driving charges happened recently as in a couple of days ago.
He’s trying his hand down at St Kilda atm.
Or at least he was.

Speaking as someone who has had a close family friend lose 3 people to a driver who was drunk and went through a red light, I'm surprised at the language used in this thread.
Drink driving is serious. It has the potential to kill.
I feel like some people here are looking at Sydney the ex-Tiger not the Sydney the failed afl player who has been making a string of poor decisions. I do empathise with him, particularly the term in prison, but he regularly shows a lack of good judgement. At some point you have to stop making excuses for him.
