Sam Gilbert & his position in the side

[Con Gorozidis]

If it comes out that Gilbo TOOK the dal santo picture that opens a whole new can of worms.

[matrix]

oh dear
was the photo THAT bad


here we go

[Moccha]

Then he will be given the arse.

oh really dont start using phrases such as that in this situation.

They implied that was the case. Well certainly that it was taken from Sam's computer.
THey also said that Dal was unaware it was taken.
Appears multiple breaches of trust by Gilbo

I don't believe for a second that either Roo or dal were unaware the photos were taken. Why Gilbo would keep them after 5 minutes though......?????

[Junction Oval]

What is clearly a serious breach of trust between players, is not good for team solidarity going forward.

The problewm now is - what's to come, how much publicity, and what instability will it create between players ?? [/list]

Roo said he was getting out of bed when it was taken then asked for it to be deleted immediately. Gilbert would appear to need a little bit of a maturity check.

[Saints43]

Well you give me the reason he kept them and also the reason the girl happened to know the photos were there? I again say it seems obvious.

How about... he syncs his phone to his laptop so that all contacts, notes, photos, emails etc are backed up. It's possible that the photos have been deleted from the phone after syncing but remain on the PC. Maybe SG doesn't know how that stuff works all that well.
And she's a creepy stalker who goes through his laptop while he has a shower.

Why he took the photos is still beyond me.

[Con Gorozidis]

What does this incident mean now for Gilbert. I saw someone say it was like McLeod & Edwards. Will this mean anything for Gilbert at Saints in 2011?

What? Someone fill me in. I live in QLD, no TV or radio coverage. What is going on between roo and gilbert? News to me. Is there a newspaper link? I have no idea what's going on but I don't like it.

why on earth would you keep pics like that on ya lappie

what a rather large pratt

unreal

if he sports a black eye and a crooked nose at the next training session he'd deserve it
idiot

I reckon it is pretty obvious and I will say what maybe some are thinking. To show girls the captains dick when they come back to his place. Bit of a laugh also may impress a girl or two. Surely this girl didnt just guess he had photos like this. He must have showed her and then she downloaded illegally.

Yup - Sam Gilbert seems to be the fool in this.

Lets hope he realises he has let his captain, his club, and maybe more importantly himself down with the outright embarrassment he has caused to Riewoldt and Dal Santo.

All he can do is apologise in private to the two Nicks and learn a very valuable life lesson.

I'd be fairly disturbed for different reasons if it turns out that she got the Dal pick from Gilbo's computer...

[dals_da_bomb]

in refernce to the Dal pic, he was unaware that while patting the monkey lying in a comfotable position, that who ever was not far from him was taking a picture?

Was it Dian Fossey?

[bigcarl]

This is a massive storm in a teacup and people seem to be missing the true villain.

The jilted young "lady" who seems hellbent on vengeance towards Gilbert and St Kilda at any cost.

Sam's guilty of stupidity at worst and is not going anywhere.

Act like Dal and get a grip people.

[Dr Spaceman]

It may be hard for some people to believe, but this will die down.

Fact is that Gilbert is in our best 22 and as such he will play and be crucial to us in 2011. What happens after that will depend on many things.

Roo is no fool and is well aware his premiership window is closing. He’s a total professional and will be aware that SG is a vital cog in the Saints tilt for a flag.

If the choice at retirement is this scandal plus a flag, or no scandal and no flag, I think I know what he’d take.

Totally agree.
They will work it out on a professional level. Roo was adamant about the fact that they are professionals and will have no problems. He didn't mention their personal friendship (if they even had one), which is now obviously strained. They don't have to be friends. They do have to be able to work together towards the best for the Saints. I've no doubt this will occur

I believe Roo when he says they will be professional and give everything for the St Kilda football club. No hiding the fact that their personal friendship is completely fractured. How this affects the team going forward remains to be seen. Let's hope Ross' opinion that they will cope with it, move on and keep improving and trying to win the flag is true.

I'm thinking you are Nick Riewoldt. Your level of intimate insight can be held by none other than he.

We just need to brush this aside and have a merry christmas.

You should write IMHO he's not going anywhere because like everyone on here you wouldn't have a clue. You just don't know what Lyon's threshold limit is

[gringo]

The young lady who has had such terrible experiences at the hands of AFL players continues to fraternise with them. She has been trying to sell the pictures for ages and couldn't get a bite.

Now for the great moral outrage at having her reputation dragged through the mud- I thought it was her principal that went public and complained to the police- she is publishing them as a payback.

This girl in the same sentence as saying her reputation has been damaged says she has numerous pics of other teams naked.

I can't work out what reputation she wanted to defend.

Everyone's comments here are just their opinion. To write IMHO every time is pointless.
