Why does playing in a winning team and participating in grand finals make you more professional than other players?

That might not be a part, but how many 30+ year old AFL players have been accused of rape?

The AFL players involved in rape allegations or investigations in last 15 years have all been younger blokes. 24 years old max.

I'm not really sure why I bothered to research that now, as we really shouldn't be guessing names anyway, but I'd say based on past incidents with AFL players, it's unlikely to be a senior (30+) player.

I'd just like to suggest this thread be closed, as some of the posts are naming players, and there is a lot of assumptions being made.

Still can't believe this thread is still open, with some of the posts that have been written.
Isn't there a mod who can close it?

Something doesn't quite add up going by what the HS reported.

As such i'm a bit confused. So someone was being r*ped in the back of a taxi but didn't scream rape while the taxi driver was there to help them or get help for them?

And then they got out of a taxi and went inside at it happened again?

This question is of course based on the HS reporting of the version of events.

I also don't see how it can count you out as a rapist?

Not what a club wants to hear. As Donners said I'm glad we are at a point where people are comfortable in laying a complaint. At the moment it's a police matter and I'm sure the club is monitoring the situation very closely and will act accordingly when they are in possession of all the facts. It's a very disappointing way for a season to end should the allegation be proved.

the grand final celebrations strike again

theyre worse than mad monday

It's cause clubs have wised up about what happens when young men go out to get as drunk as possible, but can't bring themselves to put the leash on after a GF win.

Can't help but recall the garbage that spewed forth when Majak was reported by the press for the same thing. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

It's good old self-interest mate. Same happened when the Franklin strikes rumours started a few weeks ago. Swans posters were going nuts, trolls we sticking the boots in. Some of whom have quickly forgotten their cries for privacy and not starting rumours and speculation.

Strangely, some folks seem to delight in off-field issues at a club they can't beat on it and run riot. But a quick google search of their club and again, old stuff is quickly forgotten because we need to get one over people.

The posters that really surprise me are the idiots that think club loyalty would come before a rape allegation. I struggle to believe anyone would defend these allegations if proven. But as someone else said, if they are proved false, I hope the law comes crashing down on the other side of the fence too. Blokes can't get away with this sort of crap, wolf criers shouldn't either!

Just back the coppers in to do their thing and unfortunately, the ambulance chasers will dig for their version of the truth (story). Sit back and watch adults make fools of themselves in the meantime.

Haven't read the thread, but might they have been unconscious and thus unable to call for help?

If it's ok for all news stations to report it aus wide , surely some forum on the Internet can discuss it to

It's been reported that police are investigating the claim. There's not much to discuss.

It's a rumour on the rumours board on an internet forum.

Settle down.

You're acting like there aren't idiots out there who would defend this kind of thing

His brother has a record.

That's low. What do Peter's indiscretions have to do with Shaun?

Could well be part of the scenario. Obviously need more details of the event to know what went down. Although if they claim they were r*ped in the Taxi it would seem they have a recollection of that?

IF true, I don't care who it is, they have to be booted. No ifs ands or buts. I don't care if they're a fringe player or if it's one of our best players. One premiership or four. If they've sexually assaulted someone they don't deserve to be at the club.

It's not an Adam Goodes thread mate, which kinda confirms my post of a few weeks ago.

Not about Goodes, anything goes.

Obviously there is. Sit down and take a chill pill, it's just an Internet forum, try to relax

 

[Banker]

Hopefully the media name and shame.

Why should they get protection?

 

[Adz]

As much as I'm not a fan of the Hawks,lets not label them by the actions of but a few.

Will this awful year of AFL ever end?

Quite right. Awful situation to be in for many reasons, but if it happened then I am very glad its out there for people to know unlike previous years where things like this were swept under the rug due to settlements, fear etc.

Please...do tell me of his convictions
