Harley said Michael Talia was ‘unbelievably disappointed’ in himself after being arrested after allegedly being caught with drugs early in the week.

It seems an eternity ago that Carlton was 6-5 and dreaming of an unlikely finals berth.
The Blues have since lost five in a row, and the tasks don’t get much easier. Sydney at the SCG is about as tough a proposition as the AFL has at the moment.
The Swans dropped out of the top four after their devastating loss to Hawthorn on Thursday, so they’ll be in the mood to bounce back hard.
