The wonman did not tell bail police about this it is smart the player is now going to be guilty without his day in court, the matter should be dropped unless she does press chargers in bail, otherwise the AFL can not investigate, they are not a law in court.

 

Another act of treachery by Bail Justices.

You might get a clue if there is a player with a mysterious injury for several weeks at the start of the season.

It would not surprise me in the slightest.

Once it was a groin injury, chronic fatigue or depression. Now that this story is out the club has to get more creative.

It would surprise me...

If there are no charges then there is nothing the club should or needs to do, creative or otherwise.

Move on...

I agree, but that's not my point.

The AFL may want the "victim" to see that it has provided some form of justice, and that would not surprise me one bit.

well they didn't with milne. iirc. but i suppose that was quite some time ago and things have changed. still, they would need to have some good info/facts to do that and go public

Have we heard anything from the club? Surely this cannot drag on for months without anything happening.

What exactly is dragging on..?

It's done and will go no further.

I have heard that the investigation has been completed and that nothing more will be heard about it... why the nd have indicated they will not speak publicly.

Dismissed!!

??? Is there an article or a press release or something? 

Ok, so this sucks.  The player, the club and supporters all caught in some weird limbo.

No formal complaint has been made, or charge laid.

You Can not prove your innocence (or defend your actions) for something you haven’t been properly accused of.  And now it’s ‘closed’?

it would have been a pretty crappy Christmas for that individual player

At what point is this all formally closed, or does it remain open indefinitely?

it was important enough to be reported in all the papers.  Be nice if it has been ‘closed’ for some statement so this is not left hanging

I reckon the supporters are the only ones in limbo.  I am sure that the club and the player know exactly what is going on.

Not sure if it is closed. But also can't see how any statement can be made that hasn't so far, short of the woman involved releasing a statement, which is highly unlikely. The police can only say there has been no formal complaint, which they have. I guess, until a complaint is made and this blows up again, that's that.

Not to mention the woman concerned?

I think a few people here are remarkably confident that no incident ever happened, and quite possibly that no actual woman ever existed, either.

I get the views from both sides, but what’s remains is the club released a statement when this first came to the public’s attention a few weeks back, since then nothing. If there is no complaint/investigation/pending charges where is the follow up statement from the club.

the club flick-passed it to the afl. if there is a follow up it should first come from the afl. it could be that all parties plus the afl and club feel that the matter is closed and no ongoing publicity (i.e. communication) is the best solution in the circumstances and the media has agreed..........there again...........................

 

Without knowing anything about the case. It's always the girls' fault for the way she dresses and behaves-on that I'm sure we all agree.

Wonder what the relationship between the Club and the AFL is at the moment?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
