Im not condoning what he did. However, a male in his early 20s straying and having sex with someone else is pretty common. Blame the testosterone.
That's right, you tell'em Tiger, who cares about the woman who carries his baby all that time!
 
Putting a side the juicy bits about the full package and gambling away massive sums of cash, if we look at Abby's two main points. That their are women out there that throw themselves at these young cashed up confident guys and lets be honest any red blooded straight male barely old enough to drive a car or to vote is going to find it hard for it not to go to their heads and that the clubs are not necessarily the place to put your hand up and say that you have a problem as it might be seen as a weakness. I have been out with AFL players and have seen how women throw themselves at them.

School girls is another thing entirely.
 
He was with the same girl from age 14. Can we really blame him for wanting to sleep with others?
And I bet we aren’t hearing the full story. She was pregnant. Probably wasn’t meeting his sexual needs.
why do i get the feeling you're a virgin. its a red flag for afl clubs with the gambling it will put a lot of clubs off especially those trying to attract more women members/supporters
 
School girls is another thing entirely.

Under the law the age of consent is different for girls than it is for boys although this might have changed, and considering Jake was basically school age / uni student age then as long as the girls were over the age of consent then it isn't the same as if it was a 30 year old hanging around girls of that age however the far bigger issue is that he was acting up on his girlfriend that was carrying his child.

Geeez I am off the bandwagon well and truly.
There has been enough mud at the bombers in recent years..

If we must chase him, it better be for a price such that we are comfortable delisting quickly. A 2nd or 3rd rounder. Put him in the VFL for the first 10 rounds to give him a chance to sort his life out with less media attention, and be prepared to provide ongoing welfare support if it doesn't work out.
Risky risky risky.
 
Imagine if a deal doesn't get done and he stays at the Dogs. The playing group would do their nut that they have to tolerate him for another season. His currency is dropping by the minute.

I dont think so mate. Jake has his mates at the club. The players do not pick and choose who plays for the club. His team mates will not like what he has done, just like Stringers mates at Essendon wont. It does not mean they wont play with him.

Lot of hate for old Jakey now
Would of been interesting to see what the moral temperature of this story would have been if it was young guys he was banging rather than young girls. Would it have made any difference to how he was perceived ? Should it have ? What would that say about us if it did ?

Hoping the rejection of every AFL club doesn't put him into a depression ala Garry Lyon
 
He wasn't too bad last season until he got injured and was still their leading goal kicker.

Boyd was depressed and their other tall was Travis Cloak :p
