Draguisin (our only fit CB last week) out for the season, the hits just keep on coming.

Looks like we'll have to buy one to field a team.

9 fit senior players were enough to get the points against Brentford.

We just bought a CB but he won't be able to play in this week's Cup Semi against Scousers as he wasn't in the first leg team.

Sam Kerr covered herself in glory (and some vomit reportedly) in this police body cam footage following her arrest for soiling and damaging a London Black cab.... Alcohol truly is truth serum!

Sounds like she takes after her big bro the former AFL player who has a rap sheet similar to Ben Cousins.

Self-Entitlement must be big thing for the Kerr's.


Off-field controversies
In September 2002, Kerr was involved in a brawl with teammate Ben Cousins at a Perth nightclub during the club's end of season celebrations. Later the same night, after Cousins had previously punched Kerr in the face, Kerr then pushed Cousins down a flight of stairs, breaking his arm.

In 2004, Kerr was charged with forging a prescription. He was given the blank prescription by a person at a party and went to a 24-hour chemist to buy 50 valium tablets. The court fined him a total of $400 and made a spent conviction order. He was also fined $5,000 by the club and was required to complete community service throughout the football season.

In mid-2005, Kerr and teammate Michael Gardiner were observed behaving erratically in a nightclub by members of an opposition team following a match. They believed the two had taken illicit drugs while in the toilets.

In January 2007, Kerr and his father were charged with assault following a party in Perth. Kerr is understood to have been at a farewell party for his sister's friend in Attadale before trouble erupted shortly after midnight. An 18-year-old man suffered a broken nose and broken tooth. Kerr was charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. He pleaded guilty to assault occasioning bodily harm and was fined $2000 over the attack. His father was also fined after being found guilty of assault.

In February 2007, Kerr was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after an altercation with a taxi driver. He was later arrested again while at a training session, and further charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and willful damage. Police prosecutor Gary Flynn told the court Kerr saw the taxi and jumped screaming and shouting onto the boot. The taxi driver got out of his car and was attacked by Kerr, Sgt Flynn said. Kerr's lawyer John Prior said his client had gone out to dinner, "consumed too much alcohol" and "made a crucial bad judgement call". Kerr pleaded guilty to the charges and was fined.

In March 2007, information was released that implicated Kerr and former Eagle Aaron Edwards in drug dealing over the phone. His conversations with convicted drug dealer Shane Waters relating to a "big bag of horse chaff" were recorded by police phone taps in 2003.

In September 2007, Kerr was alleged to have abused staff at a Melbourne hotel on the day of the AFLPA awards. His club were informed of the incident, and when they came to check on Kerr at 2pm, he was still in bed. They observed he was hungover and blamed the incident on alcohol rather than drugs.

The West Coast Eagles forced Kerr to start seeing a clinical psychologist at the beginning of 2008, in an attempt to combat his anger management issues and alcoholism.

In April 2010, Kerr was ordered by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal to pay $13,125 to teenager Troy Luies, after Luies filed a claim for the injuries he suffered at the Kerr's hands on 14 January 2007. Assessor William Millar awarded Luies compensation for the assault by Kerr, as payment for his hospital bills, lost pay and for trauma suffered.

In November 2014, Kerr was arrested and charged with endangering the lives of two people after he allegedly started a small fire at a house in Glendalough. He spent five nights at Hakea Prison before being released on bail when his parents paid the $5000 surety.

Kerr was charged with aggravated stalking and breaching a violence restraining order on 19 August 2020. On 16 September 2020 he was charged with historical domestic violence charges. On 17 February 2021 Kerr was charged with criminal damage by fire after a fire damaged the rear of his parents' Kardinya house. He denied responsibility for the fire, but as he was already on bail for the previous charges, his bail was revoked. In May 2023, Kerr was sentenced to two years’ jail for the fire, backdated to his arrest in 2021.

On Sam Kerr thing. It's a little silly. She was pissed. She damaged a cab. Let her pay for the damages and throw him 5k extra for the troubles and that's it. Why is this a big court case? People say silly things when they are drunk.

Racial slurs are serious business. Hence the focus on the court case.

If I was on the jury I'd be pushing for a guilty verdict and deportation.

is it a big court case ? or is it media click bait because she is an internationally famous footballer ?

rhetorical question btw
Isn't she the Matildas captain who some might say are the biggest sporting brand in this country and the face of women's football in this country

By the looks she got herself drunk and in an absolute mess she didn't know what she was doing which does happens to the best of us mind you.

But we don't have international profiles.

I think certainly in Australia it's news worthy.

I saw about a 60 seconds of a video today of kerr waiting in the lockup she and her partner comes across as pretty drunk but self entitled full of arrogance.

Yes they were drunk but fancy saying ill ring the Chelsea lawyers and get them to come down here haha.

Almost sounds like those rich kids getting caught and telling everyone there rich parents will come down and bail them out of trouble.
