AFL rape scandal to hit- Radio report

[DIEHARD]

It probably will be. But it will be "ST KILDA" players, there is no chance they will damn an entire code like they did with Rugby League.

 

[Mr Angry]

I hope its on every front page around the country

Yes, in the hope it will help eradicate this problem, and make our society safer for all of our female folk.
Rape is not acceptable fellas, no matter what the sport.
No means no.

Or maybe they're researching the involved players' family trees in hope of finding some rugby league ancestry to blame.

I don't know if this is the same AFL sex scandal or not.

New football sex-assault link
By staff writers
March 16, 2004

POLICE are investigating an allegation of sexual assault believed to have been made against two St Kilda Australian rules footballers.

Brighton detectives are investigating the alleged incident after it was reported to them yesterday.

St Kilda club officials will hold a press conference about 4pm today.

Edit: According to the BigFooty forums this is a seperate incident supposed to have happened last Saturday night.

I heard this one this morning on channel 7 (Melbourne). Now I might have been hungover but I'm sure the newsreader named the players!!!!

 

[Le Rouge]

time to watch the clean up and the media reporting

 

[Chook]

Don't gloat about it people, but get stuck into the rag writers for sure!

Chook.

Bloody oath they did. I saw that bulletin! They named a player then retracted it saying that player wasn't involved and apoligised for any damage. I was just saying when they named named "you can't do that, you can't just name names!"

Exactly what I was thinking. I never did see them retract it. God, what were they thinking naming names anyway. Look out channel 7, this might get ugly.

For those interested, Patrick Smith's e-mail address. get'em boys

On Channel 7 I just heard the end of the report from the media confrence that St Kilda had and they named the 2 players, sorry did not catch the full names. They also said the girls rang them up to meet the players on Sunday night and then made the alledged reports to the police on Monday.
St Kilda will stick by there players.

Will be interesting to see how the Melbourne papers report on this and keep people upto date.

After the mud that was thrown at our game, AFL should cop it big time because this is not the first sexual misconduct allegation levelled at players of that code. I reckon this history should now be brought up in the media.

I demand a nine msn internet poll!!

Let's make sure the Patrick Smith's, Jeff Wells and Steve Price cretins of this world know about this one.

Somebody tell me I'm nott dreaming and that the SMH are reporting a AFL sex allegation http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/03/16/1079199213013.html

[Bengal]

What these last few weeks have shown me is that I wouldn’t wish this sh*t on any sport.

You notice that they have to point out *twice* in the AFL article that 6 Bulldogs are also under investigation? Fair enough once, but twice? That's a bit insecure.

Before everyone starts ripping into the journos that have given league a hard time, why not wait to see that they don't give the AFL the same treatment first. Even then, we should realise that two wrongs don't make a right. These allegations don't make league any better or worse than AFL. Where we can place ourselves above AFL is by taking a mature and even handed approach to this, rather than sinking the boot in, and using this situation to score points.

Obviously, sexual assault is an abhorent crime and violation, and that should never be forgotten.

Let's be the mature ones here.
