if it wasn't official before, it is now!!

Andrew Lovett has been officially charged with rape, and this must put is career in extreme danger of being over.

The bombers must be wrapped getting what they got for him in trade week.

 
 

I have just deleted some posts and warned a couple of posters on player abuse.

Tread carefully guys in this subject. If you have not got something constructive to say about Lovett, dont bother saying it.

It really is a sad situation for the woman involved, for the Saints footy club and for a guy who has a history against woman that one his last chance at footy he "allegedly" (is it still allegedly?) interfered with a sleeping woman.

While I completely understand that legally we need to watch what we say (and agree with your actions to delete the posts in question), I think Lovett is one guy who doesn't deserve our protection.

If he is found guilty, the wrath of a few Melbourne supporters should be the very least of his problems, and I hope like hell that for once the AFL doesn't sweep this under the carpet or tries to protect the player from his legal and social responsibility to society.

Footballer or not, anyone who assaults or rapes a woman should rot in jail.

I'd better not say anything then.

I dare say the AFL will of course frown upon issues such as this, guilty or not. Because he is charged with rape, there is a court case pending, it's very hard for anyone to comment until completion.

From a St.Kilda perspective, they've really bottomed out with this trade. The Bombers - whilst dealing with the Hurley case - will feel somewhat relieved.

On Lovett, I must say I thought that there was alot of ill feeling between St.Kilda and Lovett before that trade happened. Most noteably the run-in between Riewoldt and Lovett at the Telstra Dome some time ago in relation to Lovett's off field discretions. It was quite surprising that St.Kilda did that trade and people of the ilk as high as Ross Lyon may have been unaware of the past at that particular time.

He is a troubled soul by the looks of it. But that does not make me feel sorry for him. what he is "Alleged" to have done is just terrible.

I am happy to leave it there.

And we should leave a lot of things there if, for nothing else, legal considerations.

Please be very careful when discussing this very sensitive subject folks!

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
