Casually mentioned to the missus I was thinking of flying to Melbourne (I’m in Brisbane) for round 10 to see Carlton v Collingwood on the Sunday.
She said why not fly down Friday and go to Friday night, Saturday arvo and Saturday night as well.
Friday night is in Adelaide so that’s off the cards but looks like I’m having my own festival of footy.

You want the police to waste time charging and the courts taking up their time convicting someone who did a line in the bathroom? I think there are far more important things that resources need to be used. Perhaps the traffickers and dealers would be the ones to target rather than a 20 year old male who engaged in something that is so prevalent across all aspects of society.
