ESSENDON FIELDS, VIC. — Moonee Valley Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) detectives are investigating after $20,000 worth of meat was stolen during a burglary in Essendon Fields at about 5.10am yesterday.

KSU Architects, BBL and district facilities presented capital-project progress across Crosby, Chambers, George Washington, Edson/Essendon and Bailey. Trustees raised schedule concerns and flagged moisture in an art room, missing power drops in the tech shop, and delayed door/frame deliveries (door frames expected Nov. 12; on-site Nov. 19).

The Sydney Swans have confirmed a second sample testing positive for drugs involving 216-gamer Eley, who is now likely to face an Australian Football League (AFL) penalty independent of any potential legal consequences. The incident follows the recent scandal surrounding the 'Pullman Five,' where five senior Swans players were suspended following allegations of sexual assault at a hotel after a victory over Essendon. Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, James Jordon and Riley Bice faced club suspensions for breaching behavioral standards, though police later cleared Bice, with no charges laid by Victoria Police. The investigation into the alleged incident is ongoing, with a decision on criminal charges expected in November following review by the Office of Public Prosecutions. The saga has seen significant repercussions within the team, including Blakey requesting a trade to North Melbourne and Tom Papley expressing his desire to confront former teammate Dillon Bice when they meet as opponents next year. Papley stated on social media: 'Love him like a brother, but Mr Dillon please put out the fixture ASAP,' referencing their upcoming match. Eley's case adds another layer of complexity to the Swans' recent challenges, with the club already dealing with the fallout from the Pullman Five incident. The goalkicking player had recently returned to Sydney after an off-season trip to the USA, and his positive drug test has now triggered a separate AFL disciplinary process.
