Re: Dustin Martin
On Footy Classified last night (during which Wilson was reasonably scathing of the AFL) it was noted Martin is looking unlikely to miss any games.
The story now is there's doubts around the original account provided by the victim, and Martin's actions.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: Dustin Martin
We'll probably never get the true story but it's probably a mix of the two versions from the relevant parties. The AFL will cover up anything and everything in its never ending pursuit of brand protection. Likewise when a victim goes straight to the media rather than the police to make a complaint you know it's about publicity rather than justice.
Martin will end up with a slap on the wrist, the AFL will brush over it, and the permanently outraged have had an opportunity to be outraged. Is that a win all round?[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Dustin Martin
Doesn't she work for Ch7?
EDIT
Yes she does.
He apologised so must have done what was alleged.

Re: Dustin Martin
Martin claimed extreme intoxication and not remembering any details of the evening. He apologised for allowing himself to get into this state in public and for any offence he caused to anyone. That was the extent of his apology.Comment

Re: Dustin Martin
That he was drunk, obnoxious, and got into an argument is beyond doubt, for that he'd be forced to apologise regardless. How much more there was than that seems to be questionable. Someone can make any claim they like to the media without fear of consequence for the most part, they can't however do that with the police. When someone goes to the media about an incident, but won't speak to the police, then alarm bells start ringing for me.
That being said, Martin is a complete dickhead, so who knows what really happened.[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Dustin Martin
People also have an aversion to going to the police because quite often there is either little follow through or consequence.
Like you, I am suspicious of the circumstances when the media is selected as the outlet (providing alternatives to the media are not viable, e.g. whistle blowing cases) for grievances to be aired. I'm even more suspicious when network connections heavily influence the decision to do so.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: Dustin Martin
Wow. A 5k "fine" that he doesn't actually have to pay and he had to ring somebody and nearly say sorry.
I'm sure he has learned his lesson.
Let's buy him a present!They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment
