I'm only slightly surprise someone hasn't approached them in regard to legal action over some of their potentially slanderous allegations thus far. But I guess it pays not to protest too much.plugger66 wrote:I cant beleive people are slightly surprised.

That is so true saintbrat. Basically 9 Australians have tragically been killed doing there job in the last 2 days. most with young families, and yet a story based on allegations towards a few cops and footballers hits the headlines. It is a joke but it proves our media is not much better than the british presssaintbrat wrote:I could not beleive it LEAD the news when there were 6 Australian Businessmen killed in a plane crash and 3 Australians died in a field of waraussierules0k wrote:Another media beatup hoping to keep us from looking in this direction...
We live in a world where fans riot over a win, but don't raise an eyebrow over news/stories that directly impact on their families well being.
Anyone seen any updates on the GoM oil "spill".
Nope, I didn't think so.

Come on! Your deluded if you think fat eddie DIDNT have anything to do with it! Think about it. VERY easy to make it happen, probably had this info 6 years ago.

But seriously if anyone thinks Ed or Malthouse could orchestrate this type of story then you must be delusional. I would be 110% sure this is not the kind of thing Eddie would be behind, after all he is President of the Biggest Football Club in the land and all clubs even mine, have skeletons.

It is probably a complete coincidence that Malthouse calls Milne a rapist, Eddie goes public saying the Saints won't go any further. They did, Malthouse begrudgingly accepts Milne's apology after calling him a rapist. Then a couple of months later a new story regarding the incident comes to light.
Also a coincidence that the president of said club is in a position of power at channel nine, nothing to do with the fact the club that was made to look foolish in the light of denials of fibbing.

im not saying they orchestrated the actual story. im saying they have had the story a while and have had a hand in when and how it has been released.aussierules0k wrote:While we can assume what we like, is there any proof Ed and MM were behind this?

otherwise it would have been an OPI matter form the get-go.
And the whole malthouse affair seems way too coincidental.
there are plenty of media agencies and enough journos out there to uncover it.

Jebus people...
Relax. If you are stressing about conspiracy theories then you are gonna go crazy.
The OPI are going to have a look into the investigation side of things...Which has nothing to do with us anyway.
If they find reason to re-open the case, then they will.
If they have a case to answer then they damn well need to answer it.
Simple as that.
I still see it as a piece of HACK journalism and in so many ways a slight against the club.
Channel nine and the Herald Sun can go forth and multiply as far as I am concerned.

It is NOT about the rape allegation, but more about the possibility of pervert the course of justice by current and ex serving members of the Victorian Police Force.
Both the players involved have provided statements and the Club have fully assisted with the investigation.

Agreed.
If the Rozzers have been messing with the case, then they should be prosecuted.
If they find reason to reopen the original case, then so be it.

That's the story, however it gives these hacks the opportunity to rehash all the old stuff. And don't they love it.

Yet the way it was protrayed by channel 9 and the Herald Sun that has lead to the majority of viewers and readers to believe that the players and/or the club had a hand in this. To have 90% of the images of the two saints players whilst the focus is on the police is a disgrace.St Fidelius wrote:The media have every right to televise this story.Stillwaiting wrote:Thats all true, but I am sick of the media using us as avenue to make this stuff up.bigred wrote:Jebus people...

It will not only hurt the club, players and their families but hurts our brand too. All for some ratings.
P66 of course it's no suprise that they would run it, it's just how they went about it that is disgusting for all those involved back in 2004.

We know all this, but that is not what the media are reporting. One of my work colleagues came up to me today and said "Looks like Milne's gonna get done for rape, eh?", the club knew about it, evidence tampered with, blah, blah, blah, because that is what the media have twisted it to sound like.St Fidelius wrote:The media have every right to televise this story.Stillwaiting wrote:Thats all true, but I am sick of the media using us as avenue to make this stuff up.bigred wrote:Jebus people...

Unfortunately, it may prove to be the case, but if not, the HUN and Channel 9 should be made to answer for it.
Anyone who thinks this doesn't stem back to - at least in part - the tensions between Collingwood and St Kilda and specifically the Malthouse Milne confrontation, seriously, has rocks in their head.
I loved the little 1 second grab they showed of the above confrontation in tonight's update. Blink and you'd have missed it, but it was there.
Also loved the fact the footage of Milne entering training today, and he's flanked, almost protected, by Roo and Hayes.
Fair enough - if there is a case to be answered, so be it, re-open it and let justice be done. Absolutely. But I seriously, seriously doubt this will happen and this while episode will end up being exactly what it was designed to be - a smear campaign directed at Steven Milne and the STKFC, from none other than the Senior Coach and President of a rival Club.
Pathetic.
