Stupidity has no bounds.

He plays footy so he will get a pass as usual

HumanBeingFirst What a twerp

Fair dinkum

Got a surf in.. whilst waiting for his family truck to be loaded..one lime at a time!

So the police and media splash his name all over the news and change his name to Nat Stryfe and then 2 hours later say he has done nothing wrong. Can't unring a bell... Maybe get your facts straight first freoforever

Good on him. The current restrictions are a joke. Too many politicians and professors wanting their 15 minutes of fame

Did you check with the club?

Driving trucks for his old man? Who could blame him. Gotta make up that lost cheddar somehow! freodockers

FUCKWIT

bloody peanut

Nazis

1. He was picking up a load of lime from Red Gate 2. It’s 6 hrs one way so he stayed the night 3. He needs to keep up fitness so he went for a surf with a mate and a run 4. ABC is FakeNews

Sitting on a surfboard is isolation right there. Another beat up due to celebrity status. Go chase some golfers.

Who is the reporter? Obviously No life ...He drives trucks for the family business, always has. Nothing new... move on. Someone desperate for a newsworthy gotcha moment.

Big deal, afraid this country is turning into a police state, it’s absolutely ridiculous a person can’t go for a surf! COVID19Aus

Seems that once one becomes a Brownlow medalist... twice..one is above the law hey? This bollocks about his fathers business is BS...stay at home...Fine him😠

FFS he was legally in the area. He had a surf. And this makes headlines? Give me a break.

What cut of a country .

Surfing is physical activity and thefore an exercise. If they were in large group ok , but that is not the case. If police and governments don't keep some sensibility with these laws soon you will have massive pushback as people start resisting trampling of their human rights.

What a load of crap. Media running out of news. How about chasing Dutton like you did the Pink Batts

Tell the cops to piss off with these idiotic nanny state BS. Surely their are 1,000's of L platers on the rampage, or why not have a clap to support the people just fucked by this utter storm in a tea cup.

How disappointing if it’s true ‼️

The rest of us mugs are doing the right thing, real truckies are working 80 hours a week, they certainly don't have time for surfing!

its exercise isn't it?

Any news of late, related to football, is all about stupidity. Funny that these knuckleheads are held up high and revered.

Great, we've found Nat. Any word on Dutton?

Good on him. These restrictions are disgusting.

Bloody police are more efficient in surveilling people whether they're obeying communist rule than actually solving crimes and catching criminals. Appalling conduct. Not to mention overtly violating basic human rights unjustly.

Whoopy doo wat a waste of police time

He’ll 2 to 3 weeks max

Driving truck for his family business. had an exemption. decided to have a surf before heading back. Bit irresponsible? Yeah. Breach of travel restrictions? No. Police investigation? WA_Police Do something more important with my tax dollars thanks. You too .

He frequents public toilets at night, male ones.

Are they looking into the reports that Alexander Downer was spotted arriving at a holiday home in Lorne today? A tap on his door too difficult?

Mean while George Pell puts in more kms than Burke and fukn Wills

One law for all please, no more special entitlements.

Another self entitled “fools-baller”.

What about Pell

celebrities should be more careful about following the rules during this period. They can be a bad example to society
