The Age is reporting that a Melbourne player is under investigation for sexual assault in September in another country.....

The story seems to have been pulled by The Age for some reason - maybe legals.

Crux of the article was that an un-named player was under investigation for a sexual assault whilst overseas in September. Complaint made by a woman upon her return to Melbourne on October 2nd.

AFL were notified and police involved but woman has not as yet lodged formal complaint.

 

I hear this is a very big name and it has been hushed up for some time.

The plot thickens! The Age has removed the article and tweets have been deleted......!

Article suggested that Melbourne FC was aware and had notified AFL.

I notice the article has been pulled from the Age online, breaking news one minute, then gone before I could open it. 

 

Search result on the now missing url gives the following preview.

Checked all the other Fairfax sites but all 404.

I'd say it's MFC, not a "Melbourne Team" since the result actually has an MFC logo in the thumbail (not shown below)

Melbourne player investigated for alleged sexual assault

The Age-25 minutes ago
In a statement, the Victoria Police said the complainant had not so far made a formal statement. The complainant was also advised that the investigation would need to be directed by police in the country where the offence is alleged to have occurred. The accused player has not been named but Melbourne ...

I assume twitter or insta will have a photo on there of whoever went on the trip.

Won't be long until someone works out a shortlist.

There's a couple of photos of the four listed on Maxy's Insta.

Well there we go.

That's a pretty short [censored] list.

[censored].


given no formal complaint has been made in nearly 3 months and it is outside the legal jurisdiction of australia, it is hard to see this going anywhere except all over the social media.

given this was reported in october i wonder why the news is being leaked now

still, i do hope the accusation is not true 

Why or why do I read Demonland etc in the off-season?  When you think about it, you'll only find bad news since nothing good can happen beyond x is back in full training and the usual training the house down statements.

Supposedly reported to Victoria Police on October 2.  Happened in September (obviously).

Not great, but not the biggest news I've heard.

We found out today that Jack Viney can benchpress 155 kg which was pretty cool.

It was a good day.

Until now.

Agreed dc, however, if there is any substance to it, it is a major major [censored] up and a PR disaster.

Obviously hoping not true, but how would it work if charges were laid? Court over there and whatever follows? 

Let's just hope the person making the allegations is ok. Can't imagine the pain or trauma someone goes through when something like this occurs. Whether guilty or innocent, they felt the need to come forward. Hope the club and Afl ensure her wellbeing is the number 1 priority.

everyhing else is second

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
