And yet you deny that Barry Cable wasn't being investigated for child abuse before it was swept under the carpet by high ranking WA police.
And that you club has a disproportionately high number of felons as ex-players, highlighted today by the fact that another ex-premiership player has been stood down for 'inappropriate behaviour'.

So, again, what's the story?
I think this gibberish means you claim I am denying that Cable was investigated over complaints of child abuse ; although I haven't made such a denial. My point was that, given he was never charged with anything, it's irresponsible, despicable even, for you to label him a 'pedo'.
On the other hand, yes I referred to a rumour involving an ex official at Hawthorn ; but stated that it was just that, and I had no idea if it was based in fact or not.
By the way, a quick google unearthed a report in The Aus from 6 May 2004, about a Hawthorn player being investigated over rape allegations in Hawaii 6 years previously. I hadn't heard about that one before. But so far as I know, there was no conviction, so I won't name the player involved and label him a rapist.

I typed "Hawthorn Injunction" into Google and all I got was a thread from the Limbo Club and various other blogs?
What's the go?
No articles. No roof.
But 'Barry Cable Child Abuse' - completely different story.

Barry Cable linked with child abuse allegations
Aboriginal football legend Barry Cable has been named as the subject of a police child abuse unit investigation in documents submitted to a royal commission.
The submission alleges the investigation was dropped after intervention by a senior Perth police officer.
Perth radio station 6PR named Cable, a dual North Melbourne premiership player in 1975 and 1977, as the former high-profile sportsman accused of sexually abusing a woman from the late 1960s, when she was 12 or 13, to the early 1990s.
For two days in a row, 6PR morning show host Paul Murray called for the West Australian Police Royal Commission to properly investigate allegations that claims by Cable’s alleged victim were swept under the carpet.
He did so after the woman went public and held a press conference earlier in the day.
Murray, who pointed out he was not saying the sex abuse allegations were true, read out, on air, a letter from four child abuse unit detectives which named Cable. It was sent to the head of the royal commission into police corruption, Geoffrey Kennedy, QC, on March 22.
The four want the royal commission to investigate why senior officers allegedly interfered with the investigation.
Cable was interviewed by detectives on November 17, 1998, but the interview was allegedly terminated after five minutes by another officer.
In the letter, the detectives said they had concerns about the conduct of certain police officers.
“By way of explanation, in May 1998 officers attached to the child abuse unit received a complaint from . . . (name deleted) alleging that Barry Cable had sexually offended against her some years ago,” the detectives’ letter said. “Experienced investigating officers assigned to the inquiry were of the firm view that there was enough evidence to support Mr Cable being charged...”
The detectives said they met with a senior officer who told them he considered there was insufficient evidence to charge Cable. They said the senior policeman claimed a Crown prosecutor agreed with him.
They alleged the senior officer said: “Regardless of whether Cable confessed or not, you are to release him and I will reassess the evidence.”
In their letter, the detectives wrote: “We believe that procedural irregularities and interference in this inquiry occurred both before and after Mr Cable was interviewed by the inquiry team.”
The alleged victim, now in her 40s, read out a statement at her lawyer’s Perth office, saying she hoped the royal commission would investigate the case.
The ex-footballer was alleged to have escaped charges because of his connections with high ranking police. He allegedly committed the offences over about 15 years, beginning in the late 1960s, and was investigated by Western Australia’s police child sex abuse unit in 1998.
The incident is alleged to have occurred in 1998 after a woman complained that she was sexually abused by the former footballer for more than a decade. The woman said she was sexually abused by the former footballer from the age of 12 or 13 until her mid 20s. The time span was from the late 1960s - when the two were neighbours - until the early 1980s.
The allegations, which have long been the subject of rumour, were brought into the public spotlight by John Hammond, who is acting for several police officers from the state’s child abuse unit.
Hammond said the matter was drawn to the attention of the WA royal commission into police corruption in March, believing it was the only authority suitable to hear the case as it had all the necessary powers and investigatory processes for this to happen. He has yet to hear any response.
Hammond said his clients interviewed the man and formed the opinion that he should be charged. However, senior officers stopped the interview after five minutes and refused to allow charges to be laid, because his clients believed the man was a close friend of a very senior police officer. The investigation was subsequently dropped.
Hammond added that the investigators had a statement from the alleged victim’s mother stating that the former footballer had confessed to her.
The case was subsequently investigated by an anti-corruption body, which also decided not to proceed with it, much to the disappointment of the officers.
WA Police commissioner Barry Matthews said that “on available evidence” and as a result of advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions, no charges were laid against the former footballer at the time. He said the allegation against the senior officer was referred to an “external investigative agency”. “During its inquiry no evidence was provided, nor was any evidence discovered, which was capable of substantiating the allegations,” he said.
A royal commission spokesman said he was unable to say whether or not the matter would be investigated.

Due to his high placed friends, it's no wonder.
I guess some people just can't afford justice...
So we can safely assume that any Hawthorn players investigated over sexual assault claims over the years only got off because of friends in high places?Due to his high placed friends, it's no wonder.
I guess some people just can't afford justice...
