It's a travesty of justice that these sorts of crimes are so infrequently punished.

It is but , but in this case isn’t this because the victim has allegedly settled out of court? If so (and I really don’t know anything about the case) it’s not a good look at all.

Surely there has to be some law about criminal charges being settled out of court?

I actually don’t mind this. We have poor midfield depth as it is and we are about to lose Trac.

Tsatas would come cheap and he has clear upside.

Poor disposal, I understand. But he is depth that we’re not giving away much for.

could join the likes of billings, schache, dunstan, etc as players who we get on the cheap with 'some upside' who play a lot more vfl than afl for us

i don't see the point in recruiting a player like tstatas who is just... bog ordinary

Melbourne seem to have a level of interest in the Tsatas camp. I'm not overly enamoured, but there might be a bit of a watch this space.

Who?

Where does this come from, please, Betc?

And does the source say why?

Calling a 20yr who was an elite junior bog ordinary is rough.

He mightn’t work out but he’s worth the risk at the price for his age in a role that we are short on.

Settling is different from charges being dropped. Either a victim was pressured into dropping the case or the evidence couldn't prove a conviction. We will never know but the vast majority of credible SA cases never see a conviction.

But he IS - the evidence is there in his games both at afl and vfl level

His lack of skill simply precludes him from being good enough for a long term career in this current competition

Will probably play for a long time at lower levels
