That's what gets me. Why did they sit on this for two weeks? Not to mention the other media outlets that obviously knew about it. It's surreal, if she wasn't a journalist this would have been out of the bag before Fevola woke up the next. So much for ethics and the publics right to know.
Suppress the full story to get him out of town, get Brisbane to take him apparently "unawares" then let slip a few more indefensible reasons to calm down the "Save Fev" faction.
The more I read, the more I think that no charges will appear (the timing is too obviously convenient) and this is basically a "good riddance Fev and don't let the door hit your arse on the way out" message. Whether the harassment proves to be true or not (we may never know), there was enough else on record to warrant being shipped out.

Living in brisbane for the last 10 years and prev 7 years in mlb just some observations....
5 years ago just the broncos,lions,now plus titans and gc 17 oh and 2 a-league clubs lol.
There is only 1 newspaper in bris and 1 full time afl journalist (compared to mlb 2 papers and s***loads of journos....................
no SEN ,and guys like simon black and daniel bradshaw can still walk down the street without fuss.
The broncos have the local media in there pocket,a lot goes on around town with the broncos, very little reported...............
my point being i hope the move for fev is a good one ,but if he is to carry on with his anti social activities........................he will not have to bend far to fly under the radar.................

Your club just washed its hands and traded him. Its all someone elses problems. Given the stink over Eilliots actions you would have thought they would have known better. You did nothing because you wanted to trade him and knew if you fessed up and investigated it he would be untradeable.
Carlton is rotten to the core.

Just heard sticks on the radio and when the question of "when you heard about the allegations didn't you as a club want to investigate to find out exactly what happened?" and he replied "we left it up to others to investigate" when he was further quizzed he stated the club "didn't want to get involved", then someone rebuked "but he was a Carlton player at the time, you are involved" to which he put an end to the conversation.
Make of that what you will, but it sounded pretty poor.

A 'responsibility' which suddenly disappeared the moment Fev was traded?
Please.
Ummm . . . I was talking about the HeraldSun and their responsibilities.

Sticks didnt sound very convincing.
I think it's quite obvious Carlton knew about this but decided to keep it from everyone for obvious reasons.
By other parties I am assuming he means Crown or the Police?
In answer to the reporters last question there, why couldn't sticks just say yeah we were involved, we discussed the situation and we made a decision. As a result Fev is now a Lions player.
Oh and anyone who suggests the Lions didn't know are living in the fairies. They knew, but the AFL are going to do squat about it and the HUN ain't going to do anything either. It will all be swept under the rug and forgotten about.

Fevola has not been found guilty in a court of law, and therefore is entirely innocent.
Is anyone suggesting anything different?
The issue is the club's actions and reaction to the allegations.
I'm not sure anyone has actually suggested anything criminal (at this stage).
Yeah, so am I.
You can't say 'Oh, they didn't report it because they had a responsibility to their employee', when they -- right now -- have an article on the incident as their top story online.

Let's hit the f*ken road!
Cuz is loved in Victoria. Citizen numero uno.
Gets heaps of positive press these days.
No conspiracy against the entire Perth populace, just the fact that he has stopped raking up and running from cops.

Well the story has broken so they don't want to miss out. As I said earlier if it had been a waitress at crown they would have had it all over the paper and stuff her need for privacy.
Still the Age and other media outlets won't hold back so the pressure will build until hopefully Fevola is called before the commission and de-registered.

Not sure if I need to point this out as I thought it was obvious - they didn't break the story today.
I was thinking the very same thing.

Jeff is correct. Responsibilities as an employer in an OH&S sense have to take precedence.
And of course they're reporting it now; the story is now in the public arena, courtesy of Mitchell and Landeryou.
And yet they are happy to run with it, and will be for days.
Despite their 'responsibility' to their employee.
Look, I understand the reasoning you guys are trying to put forward. But it seems to me highly unlikely that no other major news organisation found out about this until today. It also seems highly unlikely that the Hun thought that the story wouldn't make its way to the press eventually. Finally, it seems a little empty to suggest that the Hun's sole reasoning for not running with the article until today was due to a 'responsibility' to the young lady in question. Call me a cynic but there is far more to it than that IMO.
Ethically, as an employer, they couldn't report that the woman had been assaulted until she was okay with it....if it happened to someone in the public they'd be free to go, but if they report that one of their workers was assaulted without her consent to report it, they could be in big trouble in terms of work place relations.
Like it or not, that's the way it is and that's not the newspapers fault one iota.

Go Blues.
Spot on, and i wish him all the luck in the world.
Just hope he never plays a good game V the blues
Agreed, but I'd like to see Brisbane get compensated if this happens. The look on Sticks Kernahan's face today was classic, he was trying eveything he had to stop from laughing out loud. You could clearly see "Not our problem" written all over his face.
They would have kept it quiet until it was reported in other papers, then they would have asked the woman if she was willing to run it, she would have said yes (since it's already out there) so they ran it.
Pretty simple.
