"EX-CARLTON star Chris Yarran allegedly took two cars, crashed one, fled and assaulted a police officer during a bizarre incident in Perth, a court has heard.

The 27-year-old was yesterday granted bail during a bedside hearing in Royal Perth Hospital. Police did not oppose bail."

Straight off the Herald Sun website. Tell m supersaints2, which part of the first line do you not understand?

Should we pick him as a delisted free agent? Not great in traffic but aggressive.


Huge upside if he gets day release and will cost little

He has the skills, is just 27, and at present, in a bit of hot water. What’s not to like?


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Chris Yarran charged with assaulting a police officer after alleged car stealing spree in Perth

FORMER AFL footballer Chris Yarran has been charged with assault and obstruction in relation to a series of car crashes that took place in several suburbs overnight.
It has been alleged the 27-year-old stole a car, was involved in a crash, fled, stole another car then fled the scene again before being apprehended by police outside the Pan Pacific Hotel in Perth Friday night.
At a bedside hearing transmitted to Perth Magistrates Court on Saturday, the court was told Mr Yarran, who had been taken to Royal Perth Hospital for treatment, was unable to be roused.
The magistrate said he was fine to proceed with the matter in Mr Yarran’s absence after hearing from the police prosecutor that they did not oppose bail.
The duty lawyer who spoke to Mr Yarran earlier on Saturday said Mr Yarran told him he had been injured from the incident but not seriously and might be released “today or tomorrow”.

Police allege at around 7:30pm Friday a man in his 60s gave a lift to a man that was known to him, Mr Yarran, in his white Kia Rio sedan.
During the journey police said the driver was asked to pull over in Turnstone Street in Alkimos before being threatened and forced out of his vehicle. The Kia left the area.
Shortly after, at around 8.30pm, a Kia Rio drove through traffic lights at the intersection of Reid Highway and Mirrabooka Avenue and crashed into the back of a black Holden Cruze causing both vehicles to spin, with the Kia Rio then crashing into the front of a Toyota Camry. No one was seriously hurt in the incident.

Police allege Mr Yarran left the scene on foot, attempting to steal vehicles of people that were providing assistance at the scene of the crash. He continued along Mirrabooka Avenue towards Nollamara Avenue where he assaulted a man aged in his 40s and stole his white Toyota Corolla hatchback, said police.

He continued along Mirrabooka Avenue towards Nollamara Avenue where he assaulted a man aged in his 40s and stole his white Toyota Corolla hatchback, said police.

It will be alleged that at approximately 10:15pm police located a Corolla parked on Hill Street in Perth that had been reported as stolen. Upon approaching the vehicle police say the driver exited the vehicle and ran on to Adelaide Terrace.
Mr Yarran was apprehended and taken to Royal Perth Hospital for treatment, reported police.
A highly-touted junior out of Swan Districts, Yarran was drafted 10 years ago this month by Carlton with pick six in the national draft.
Yarran made 119 appearances for Carlton before being traded to Richmond in 2015. But he never played a game for the Tigers amid dealing with mental health issues.
During the bedside hearing on Saturday, Mr Yarran was granted bail with a $1000 personal undertaking to reappear on November 20.
