Rumour Rumors of cat player in big trouble

[WillHayward]

Finger injury. But has been training.

I would like to think if it's him Geelong would have banned him from training with the others.

The the club will in trouble for pre judging a court process and his lawyer will say trial by media and can't get a fair trial blah blah blah..so don't think club can ban him from training.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Just curious, Flats.
What do you think the club should do in this situation?

Don't hold your breath waiting for a response from that trolling tool

That would not be very supportive.

You’re confusing another issue of a former player who is no longer part of the AFL.

Why is said player on the injury list with Mackie telling lies about it?

Absolute crap behaviour from Geelong

Whatever Cats are doing right now would 100% be ticked off by AFL house. It's probably the right call too because if tomorrow the victim dropped all charges and said "Hey sorry I made it up" then the player has been protected and we could all agree it's the best way to handle it.

I hate the Cats as much as the next guy, but I don't think they would be doing anything wrong right now

Would say it's more a case of innocent until proven guilty.

Is this the Sam Maclure breaking scandal he's rabbiting on about on Footy Classified tonight?

No, it’s regarding cases that the HUN reported.

Any chance it's not a Geelong player, but a player that may have been in that area?

No, but I like your thinking

Is more than one individual believed to be involved?

Funny how the afl controlled media are dead silent…name is suppressed not the fact that an afl player faces serious charges…especially if there’s a possibility if the player is from the no 1 destination club in the world….

Media won’t touch it because the courts have put in one the heaviest suppression orders they’ve ever seen.

Nothing to do with AFL controlling them.
The journo I spoke to about the allegations would only discuss via a voice call as they didn’t want to put anything in writing.

Two people have been arrested I thought?

 

[PenAndPaper]

Interesting that a player doesn't have a return date from injury, despite it being pretty black and white to the timeframe for it...

Managed

3-4 weeks

how the hell is someone, "managed"? source afl website.

Chief, is this getting too close to breaking the suppression order?

Courts have issued a suppression order. Journos couldn’t release the name(s) even if they wanted to.

Not everything is a CFL conspiracy…

Not talking about the name….clearly. You don’t think an afl player being charged with rape is a big story. The only thing that is suppressed is the name, not that he and another was charged.

Yeah those fingers take months to get right…worse than an ACL apparently

I don't know about a suppression order.

If you think it is, then it probably is. Hit the report button and a board mod can look at it.

Is there footage of him at training?
I know someone who works at the cats, and allegedly noone has seen the player in question since this story broke
