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.

    This was also reported on Sports Tonight.

    this could really ruin his career

    That's a little premature!

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

    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 ;)

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
