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!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
