Didak....again
he is a tool.
but on a side note, taxi fares in Melbourne are a joke.(and a lot of the drivers)
I live in sydney and was down there recently.....cost me a bloody $75 cab fare from the airport and they aren't the friendliest lot, considering the dreamy traffic conditions and roads melbourne has...no excuse.
(apologies to all the great essendon supporting cabbies, you guys must be rare)......
so i can understand his problem.....

OK, I hate Didak as much as anyone else here does, but if what the club is saying is true then I would've argued aggressively with the cabbie as well. He was apparently trying to charge Didak $25 to go from Hawthorn to Kew; I've done that cab fare many times and, at 1.30am, it would never be more than $15. Of course $10 is nothing for a guy who probably earns $250k+ per year, but it's a matter of principle - the cabbie was trying to charge an extortionate amount and he had no right to. So, if Didak's/Collingwood's explanation is true, I don't think Didak really did anything wrong.
This is a thoughtful and more correct response.jimmyc1985 wrote:OK, I hate Didak as much as anyone else here does, but if what the club is saying is true then I would've argued aggressively with the cabbie as well.

If put in the same situation, if it's true, then an argument with the taxi driver is the least thing that should occur.
A threat to report him to the directorate after visibly writing down the driver number and vehicle rego. would soon have the ride offered as a freebie.,
We had a cabbie one time that needed the melways to find where he needed to go.had the melways on his lap for the entire trip.tom9779 wrote:he is a tool.
