PAROLLING THE DICE

Tonight at Crown Casino in Melbourne, the AFL is hosting its annual Hall of Fame induction dinner. Meanwhile, last night at Burswood Casino in Perth, Jeff Farmer put in another bid for induction into the AFL Hall of Infame.

Farmer under police investigation

Fremantle Dockers forward Jeff Farmer is being investigated by police in Perth over an incident at the Burswood Casino on Wednesday night.

Police received a complaint this morning from the owner of a car which was damaged in a car park at the casino last night, but it is unclear whether Farmer knew the owner of the vehicle.

THE TALK OF THE TOWN

Alan Didak's been big news in Victoria, and here's another fine article in The Age on his Awful Big Adventure. This time, just in case you can't be bothered reading the whole article, they've included a pictorial timeline of Didak's jaunt through Melbourne, that's Melbourne.

TRITE LINE FEVER

The latest footy cliché to step up to the plate: tick all boxes.

So, do you tick all boxes?

Long-term effects of cocaine:
Agitation and panic
Unpredictable, aggressive behaviour
Headache
Increased blood pressure and heart rate (after initial slowing)
Hypertension and irregular heart beat
Reduced appetite
Indifference to pain and localised pain relief.
Insomnia
Depression
Hallucinations
Anxiety, paranoia and psychosis
Eating disorders and weight loss
Sexual dysfunction
Sensitivity to light and sound
Cerebral atrophy (wasting of the brain) and impaired thinking

THE PIE-LD ONE

Oaf update! Melbourne crime guru Andrew Rule skewers the Magpie spin, then adds:

"This year it has been the Eagles in the news for the wrong reasons, but now it might be Collingwood's turn. Even before the Didak scandal settles down, another could be looming in Magpie land."

Wonder what scandal he means. Apart, that is, from yet another footballer having a lend of us with a 'prepared statement' masquerading as an apology.

PS: Any chance Ben Cousins will ever get his lawyer to prepare a statement over his appalling crimes against fashion? Especially that hat.
