It looks like the Eagles have pulled off a recruiting masterpiece with their number 3 selection at November's draft. Chris Masten has been harged with disorderly conduct in an Australia Day scuffle in Perth. It was reported in the Australian that Masten "allegedly punched a man in the face at the South Perth foreshore. Police had to break up the fight. It is believed the rookie player was handcuffed and taken to a mobile police post where he was told to leave the area."

Yep, filling in beautifully for Benny.

Somehow I don't believe that he would punch someone withoutt provocation and not be arrested, I'd like to know the events just prior to the hit to make my judgement.

You'll have to wait for the footage to come up on Youtube (they get everything these days don't they?).

I'm just glad they took Masten and we went for Cale Morton.

Does anyone know where this was reported? Can't find it in the news.

Seems like the media would be all over it like a rash if there was any truth to it...

I remember Springfield Isotopes was saying that this guy was known in WA as a bit of a [censored], and that was prior to the draft.

As you say Jarka, hard to believe it was unprovoked, but it's certainly not a good way to straighten up the reputation he and especially his club have made for themselves.

Make no mistake, Masten will be a very good player. As a junior he is more of a 'complete' player than Morton, Sylvia or McLean. I have no idea why but he's sounderrated on this forum - wait, I think I just answered my own question...

It was reported in the West Australian - Eagles star recruit in foreshore incident.

He wasn't underated by Stevo who was a big fan in THE YEAR OF DRAFTING DANGEROUSLY.

Prior to the draft it was known he was a massive Eagles fan and was being compared to .... yep you guessed it Ben Cousins.

Personally I don't need to know all the facts to be able to roll my eyes and snigger a little based on the club he's at.

Provoked or unprovoked is irrelevant. Fights are very easy to avoid if you really want to.

I just cannot believe that the Eagles haven't got Wayne Carey into their football department yet!...obvious cultural fit.

this could really ruin his career

was he suspended til the pre season or til after the pre season/

Because the scuffle Neitz had at crown really effected his career.

Seriously just relax, he was in a fight, he is young. According to your theory Mclean's career is in tatters and Rivers is a lout.

Lets give the boy a chance.

Hardly newsworthy? I would tend to agree, but you'll find the media don't.

As demonstrated by the story appearing on the news last night.

Fair enough, good to see you apply the same standards for McLean and Rivers ;)

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
