Where is Dani Laidley now?
Laidley completed a mandatory rehabilitating treatment at the Hader Clinic in Geelong. This was part of the court’s requirement if he wanted the charges against him to be forgotten. The court also insisted that he remain in his Moonee Ponds house as part of his bail requirements.
Professional Career
Laidley made her VFL debut for the West Coast Eagles in Round 1, 1987, against Richmond at Subiaco Oval. As an aggressive half-back line player and known as “The Junkyard Dog”, Laidley was known for her commitment to the contest and to winning the ball. Her career suffered a major setback during the 1990 season when she required a knee reconstruction and found it hard to break back into the team, missing West Coast’s 1992 premiership win.
At the end of 1992 Laidley was traded to North Melbourne. A trademark of her play was the execution of the strategy of either kicking out or receiving uncontested a short kick-out to the back pocket, a strategy which was later widely adopted by other clubs.
After the resignation of Denis Pagan as coach, Laidley was recruited as the new senior coach of the Kangaroos for the 2003 season. In her first two years, the team finished 10th. She coached the Kangaroos to the finals for her first time as coach in the 2005 season, but the club was defeated by Port Adelaide in an elimination final. In the 2006 season they regressed and finished 14th.
Laidley’s ferocity as a player transferred into her coaching style, with her team said to embody the “Shinboner Spirit” of determination and never giving up. She was also seen on occasion to be aggressive towards her playing group.
In early November 2011, Laidley was announced as the new midfield coach of the St Kilda Football Club.Of the move, St Kilda’s head of football, Chris Pelchen, said of Laidley: “Dean has a wealth of knowledge as a former player and coach in his own right. His experience will genuinely assist the development of the whole player list at the Saints.”
Controversies
In 2007, former Kangaroos’ star Wayne Carey criticised Laidley and argued that another former teammate, John Longmire, should replace her as Laidley’s contract was due for renewal at the end of 2007.After a forthright response by Laidley that referenced Carey’s personal scandals, Carey responded by describing her as arrogant.
In May 2020, Laidley was arrested and charged with one count of stalking. She did not apply for bail.Laidley was allegedly found with 0.43 grams of methamphetamine in her bra at the time of her arrest.In November, she was placed into a diversion program and given an “adjourned undertaking with no conviction recorded” on the stalking charge.
A Victoria Police officer allegedly distributed photos of Laidley in women’s clothing, taken while she was in custody. In December, the officer was charged with unauthorised access and disclosure of police information as well as misconduct in public office.
