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...

    Its hardly newsworthy.

    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 ;)

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
