News Jack Steven in hospital after possible assault

[Whit3y]

It all sounds abit dodgy.

But who really knows what happened.

Or Jono looking for a story.

Unable to shed light? Oh dear.

Was he drunk or on drugs?
Why did he drive to hospital then?.

Surely the community need to know if there is an armed attacker on the loose.

I just hope it's notself harming .

Get well soon Jacky.

'Unable to shed light on the circumstances.'

Given Jack is hopefully going to make a full recovery, the statement above (if true) is by far the most concerning piece of the puzzle.

For 'unable' above, I can't help but envisage that it is actually 'unwilling' instead.

I read it as Ralph being "unable to shed light", rather than Steven...

So much this

really wish people would wait till the facts comes out before jumping at shadows trying to appropriate blame on Jack for this situation

 

[Down at K Park]

Im sure his family and friends are in the streets at midnight when the guy is based 2 hours away, give us a spell...

Where was it ever mentioned this happened on the street? Deadset what a moron you have made of yourself. He could have been at his cousins house having a drink, when some ice junkie tried to break in the house armed with a knife for all we know. Or a domestic dispute with a drunk girlfriend who got emotional and grabbed a knife. Could be one of a million reasons, so wait and hear the facts before coming up with speculative bullshit.

appropriate blame on Jack for this situation

Training starts Monday.. I blame him for being 80+km away at 1am, probably drunk.

You hope he'd take his footy more seriously and want to get the best out of himself. Clearly not.

Direct quote is 'Steven unable to shed light on circumstances...'

If that's correct (and euphemistic), I both fear for Jack and any possibility of footy in his immediate future.

 

[David the Cat]

Lts not forget what we have here....get well Jack.

 

[Wojo]

Because all mental health cases are the same.

Stupid, stupid comment on your behalf.

Get well soon Jack

Agree with Biggie. He didn’t say he was definitely guilty of doing wrong, but one has to admit it all sounds suss. Latest story saying he was not able to shed any light to police. Not sounding great.

It was probably Guthrie who stabbed him, worried about keeping his spot in the 22.

you don’t blame someone for getting stabbed unless a) they actually deserved it or b) you’re a f***wit.

ahhh Bigfooty where speculation rules in place of facts.

Nobody is blaming him. People are saying it doesn’t sound good and thinking he could be in a spot of bother. What’s bloody wrong with that? News right now saying he isn’t cooperating and was drunk.

Could be due to anything at this stage, concussion, blackout, protecting freinds /partner

bit too early to be rushing for the pitchforks , either way his recovery should be a first priority instead of trying to blame him for the incident

Nobody is blaming him.

CatFan79 is but he’s a turnip so no surprises there

Yeah about that ...

 

[cats_09]

According to the news just now, he took an uber to the hospital and the incident was intially treated as a drunken misdemeanor, and he's not wanting to make any formal statement

 

[Cataholic]

Reported to have been intoxicated, and refusing to cooperate with police.

I'm thinking the bolded might be a factor in firstly taking an uber rather than an ambulance and now not wanting to talk - that last part makes me think he knows who did this which is why he doesn't want to talk. Hopefully it's more along the lines of an something getting out of hand rather than an act of intent

 

[Live in hope]

Forget about footy, no matter what the circumstances, this is potentially awful for Jack’s long term well being. Going to need really good support from family, friends and the club regardless of what led to situation.

In recent times, GFC appear to be very good at player support - sure they will do everything they can to help.

You are being very polite today.

 

[Wojo]

Yeah about that ...

Fair enough. Didn’t read that, but if you’re thinking the choices you make and people and situations you place yourself in don’t lead to often bad outcomes that you shouldn’t have to take some responsibility for, then you’re very naive.

 

[Pollywaffle]

Might be jumping the gun here but i doubt it... Some people are just great at finding trouble, so much for a new coastal, trouble free lifestyle.
You lie down with dogs you get fleas.

Or cats

I’ll take being called naive over being called a numpty as you previously stated

so your opinion to me means sweet **** all

 

[Art Vandelay_]

You are being very polite today.

I think I annoyed a few too many people with my social experiment last week.
Good insight to see how serious people take one man's political views

Enlightening stuff.
