Police officer suspended over ex-AFL coach photo leakDeputy Commissioner Shane Patton has slammed the actions of a senior constable as "appalling" after photos of ex-AFL coach Dean Laidley were leaked. If society was more accepting of gender expression the story would be the stalking charge, not the clothes and wig worn whilst doing it. Why would you include a photo of the Deputy Commissioner when your tweet only refers to the officer who spread the photos? This officer in the photo is not suspended though your whole tweet & image implies he is. Do you “journalists” / “social media producers” think? Suspended with pay

Laidley’s ‘lifestyle an open secret’ in AFLSeveral former teammates and AFL stars have thrown their support behind North Melbourne premiership player Dean Laidley after leaked photos emerged of him wearing a dress. Who gives a flying F what he was wearing. His lifestyle is his lifestyle. I’m more concerned about the person he was allegedly stalking. Anyone asked about that person? Bloke wearing a dress - so what. Cheap shot by the VicPol officer. I’m interested on the stalking charge Who cares about him cross dressing .... stop shining the light on this BS and focus on the issue which is the stalking !? That should be more news worthy than this crap

Peter V'landys is becoming as pleasant as a nasal swab for AFLLong before COVID-19 swung like a wrecking ball through sport, GWS Giants chairman Tony Shepherd warned AFL chief Gillon McLachlan about another force of nature. SMHsport A nasal swab. That's a good description of V'Landys. Irritating. Unwanted. And the wait for an outcome is anxious and uncertain. He'll destroy rugby league. SMHsport He’s one slippery dude. 4 corners and his horse racing involvement (nsw) exposed him. But hey, NRL saw potential in him, so they hired him....hello SMHsport He is a grub and will be a cancer for rugby league
