A RICHMOND draftee has been accused of assaulting three people in Alice Springs on New Year's Eve.

Troy Taylor, 18, was taken by Richmond with pick 51 in the 2009 national draft.

But his AFL future is in in doubt after his alleged involvement in an incident in which one man was taken to hospital and another two injured.

Northern Territory police last night confirmed they were investigating the alleged assault of three men aged 33, 39 and 47, at a party in Alice Springs about 12.30am on New Year's Day.

    Gebus, 3 blokes. Allegedly thats a fair effort for one person, let alone allegedly an 18 yr old

    We were warned of his reputation off the field, but amazing to hear of an incident so soon after the draft. Not surprised he lasted till pick 50.

    It's not too hard if you king hit all 3

    I'd imagine that could be quite difficult, especially if two of them (them being older) witnessed the first king hit.

    From the article the first is definitely a king hit, the second one sort of implies that (depends on what they mean by the man running to assist the first one) and the 3rd we don't even know if that was (allegedly) Troy.

    Either way it's not the best start to one's career

    It doesn't sound too good for him, even though at this point the victim's words are nothing more than allegations.

    It does make you wonder whether his off-field behaviour in the past was one of the reasons why he lasted until pick 51, given that he has so much talent as a player.

    What a stupid thing to get your self involved with, on the brink of your AFL career. If Taylor is charged by police, then he will say good by to his AFL career. Is getting [censored] on new years eve, worth an AFL career?

    Richmond will delist him for shore...

    Don't bet on it.

    He is 18 years old. That's about the only thing that you don't have to qualify by using the word "allegedly". Apparently, he's allegedly a dickhead too but the Tigers allegedly don't have an alleged "no alleged dickheads policy".

    Not sure how true this is, but I've heard he was on parole to begin with.

    Though I'd suggest that's probably not 100% accurate

    Sad way for his adult life to begin with, especially since he talked with The Age about not being that kind of person again before the draft.

    Interesting to see Lovett is likely to be charged by the police for rape. The Saints lose Ball for nothing, give up an early pick for Lovett and it doesn't look like he will turn out in a Saints jumper.

    Have not heard much about Hurley's beating up of the cab driver since it happen.

    faces court in february i think the hun reported. Is the afl becoming the new nrl in terms of incidents. Not the nature of them but the amount of incidences. The NRL must be loving this considering the crap they copped

    That's what the papers said. If true and he is charged and convicted of assaults, he will have breached his parole and that means a penalty on parole violation. At worst it could mean more jail time.

    Mind you, that's how the Toigs like their recruits these days. Hardened up by a bit of a stretch in the big house. The policy has worked well so far because the Bloos and the Saints are gearing to imitate.

    A bit of crap-talk to get picked up by someone, and obviously that's all it was!

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
