Melbourne player investigated over alleged assault whilst overseas

[Demon trucker 1,800]

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.

[Damo 3,355]

Another act of treachery by Bail Justices.

[Frustrated Demon 244]

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

[machine11 142]

They have referred it to the Alf won't discuss these matter publicly further

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

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.

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

[buck_nekkid 5,848]

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.

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?
