The lengths Steele Sidebottom went to to distract the public from De Goey show what a great culture they’re building at Collingwood.

'An historical incident'?

Someone has added the word 'historical' between drafts in an attempt to downplay it.

Seriously? Im not defending De Goey - innocent until proven guilty, but if guilty then he deserves jail.
Ive met De Goey and he seems fantastic bloke. Spoke to him for over an hour and one of the nicest footballers I've met.
How is the club meant to decipher who they recruit or not? Ask him before the draft if hes going to do anything wrong?
Its not the clubs fault at all. Eddie wasnt standing beside him egging him on. Its solely De Goey's fault.

You don't know what he's been accused of but you've already decided on the punishment?

 

[_RT_]

How long would it be expected to be before a trial now? Also excuse my ignorance but aren't people often arrested when initially charged with something and then potentially bailed?

He was bailed to appear in court at a later date.

Historical is a bizarre addition to the statement

 

[Anja_Nees]

This does not surprise me at all.

Dude’s got screws loose. I suppose this was in 2015 so maybe he’s got his act together a bit since. We’re probably just getting the tip of the iceberg though.

but if guilty then he deserves jail.

If found guilty, you dont know what exactly he will be guilty of.

 

[MisterMarcus]

We've been bagging his on-field form....maybe there's an explanation now.

Might be hard to stay focussed on the job if he knew this was hanging over him.

 

[jsdsgn]

If found guilty, you dont know what exactly he will be guilty of.

well we have some kind of idea and its not reckless driving

 

[StevoBruiser]

Sexual assaults, racial abuse, getting blind drunk and naked in public at least Collingwood are staying true to themselves.

 

[jsdsgn]

You don't know what he's been accused of but you've already decided on the punishment?

as far as im concerned, any form of 'sexual assault' deserves a severe punishment, considering it isnt a light offense

 

[Colonial]

If found guilty, you dont know what exactly he will be guilty of.

He hasn’t been charged with shoplifting

Oh it was way back, before covid19

it was a different time, things were different then.

 

[BBC1967]

So you have got nothing to back up your statement.

Forget JDG, what about Adam Goodes, Steele Sidebottom, etc etc etc need we go on to say something is wrong?

 

[boncer34]

If proven to be true I hope he is punished appropriately

If found to be innocent I hope the journos apologise

For what? Reporting facts?

 

[jsdsgn]

I'm not only speaking about this particular incident, but there's clearly something wrong with the amount of things happening at Collingwood. De Goey has had many previous issues throughout his career.

Which means its a De Goey problem.
Every club has their players with off field issues.
Channel 7 still hire Wayne Carey and look at the stuff hes done. You need an hour to list his offenses.

 

[chickentendies]

Club where the president defends flaunting of Coronavirus laws by his players, treats black players like rat s**t and treated Goodes like s**t is having issues with players being s**t campaigners, more at 11

 

[tonygeeks]

This has really got to put the 58 yr MCG grand final deal under the spotlight

Historical incident (2015) which was previously investigated and led to no charges laid (2018). New info come to light perhaps?

Often sexual related crimes even of the perpetrator is clearly guilty as sin (not eating De Goey is) it’s very hard to get enough evidence to prove it so it gets lost, it’s quite possible here that they were certain back then of guilt but just couldn’t get enough to take them to court but they’ve now got enough.
If he’s guilty the fact he can kick a footy better not mean he gets to stay in the AFL

 

[La Dispute]

So you have got nothing to back up your statement.

Only prior underworld involvement, sexual assault charges, a sordid history of racism including direct racist remarks from the Prez, nefarious Sunday binges during the season... and on top of that their team is rubbish again.

Not a great week for the club.

 

[DirtySandman]

The AFL really need to step up, and punish Collingwood for their ongoing issues.

They should be made to swap jumpers with port.

 

[master bate]

Exactly, and particularly in high profile cases like this, the police and dept of public prosecutions would be reluctant to go forward unless they were fairly sure of they had a case with a decent chance of winning.


BTW. When I say high profile cases, what I mean is that with other cases, they might throw one or two iffy ones into a bunch of charges so they can offer a deal ("plead guilty to X and we'll drop Y", when they knew Y was unlikely to get a conviction anyway). That strategy isn't as effective in higher profile cases because dropping those charges can be looked at very differently.

They did just prosecute a reasonably well known religious fella who according to several legal opinions including that of the high court they were never going to win.

I think the main reason to proceed with a case should be to seek justice and if the victim is willing to go forward even with a low chance of success they should go forward, but it's certainly a factor.

Hopefully the truth prevails.

He hasn’t been charged with shoplifting

No, but sexual assault covers a large spectrum of actions.

We dont know if it is at the lower end of the spectrum for that charge

The details will be embarrassing for him and the club but if at the lower end of the spectrum then he wont go close to jail and the club wont even think of trading him.

 

[DirtySandman]

All crimes are historical.
