Re: Milne Charged
In fairness to the best of my knowledge the investigator wasn't a StKilda person, but a person of much higher rank in the same building as him (i.e. not his direct boss) was the one applying the pressure. It doesn't make it right, but saying that the investigation involved 'someone who held a position at StKilda' isn't entirely accurate.
I stand by my comments on Lovett as well.Comment

Re: Milne Charged
Lovett went through about 5 chances over that pre-season, missed training sessions, and when he was in trouble with the police he failed to inform the club.
I have no sympathy for Lovett. At all.
That's before you consider he was acquitted because the alleged victim was drunk and therefore an unreliable witness.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Re: Milne Charged
I'd read where someone held a position at Stkilda( think it was a trainer)
Basically it's poor form putting pressure on the investigation.Lovett and Gram had been given plenty of rope, so no issue there.
Think the AFL put some pressure on for Milne not to play.Comment

Re: Milne Charged
Rem, I believe somebody who held a position as a part time but senior trainer at St Kilda also held a reasonably senior position at the investigating jurisdiction, and it was accused of that person by the original investigators that evidence went missing and undue influence over the course of the case came about as a result of that persons' interference.
It should be noted the 2IC of VicPol today stated it should be recognised the investigation was conducted poorly on many levels, including the input of the original investigators.
Like Mof, I have little sympathy for Lovett. I also have very little understanding of why anyone would be monitoring his social media output.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: Milne Charged
I thought that was pretty poor for Riewoldt to get on the front foot like that. He really showed no sympathy to the alleged victim or her family either. I thought it was in bad taste and showed just how outer space some mentalities are. Poor form Roo - cringe worthy media work actually.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment

Re: Milne Charged
I think you must look further. The charges are of the most serious of nature. Not damage, assault, drunkeness, theft. But rape. Sure innocent until proven otherwise, but the gravity of the allegations are such that there needs to be a more wholistic approach and thinking here.
From my past life, I've known many police officers who have been suspended without pay and all were found not guilty. Craig Thompson got dis endorsed for less and will lose his spot in parliament. In my current life I have had reason advise employers regarding suspending employees over certain behaviour. He is still listed, still getting paid. So he has to sit out for a while. So be it.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment
