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.

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...

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...

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.

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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
