Didn’t De Gooey volunteer to speak about his motivation to train harder and become a better player?He had taken the first step and is in great condition according to the club. Of course they might be lying but that isn't DeGoey's fault.
Your ignorance is showing. If saying something sexually suggestive to someone is a sex crime then even on that score the charges were dropped. Let's not try to make things appear worse than they are. Grabbing someone's bum without permission is uncouth, rude and should be called out and punished, but to call it a sex crime is again weakening the meaning of the words.
Public figures/celebrities in the past have had multiple false allegations made against them. Sexual assault is a terrible abuse of a person and should be punished but so should liars who destroy people's reputations. Two prominent Australian actors had their names and reputations dragged through the mud and in the headlines and both after exhaustive investigations and court cases were found not guilty. The damage has been done. Destroying a person's reputation and standing in a community is a heinous act.
I can only hope it never happens to you. It is too easy for angry, vengeful people to use this ploy given they retain anonymity while the accused has their name front and centre. It is obscenely unjust. The media is only too happy to accommodate allegations because they provide headlines and sell papers. Why can't the law make the publication of names forbidden until after the truth of the case has been decided? DeGoey might have been able to avoid all of this rage and finger pointing and that would be just if we discover he has no case to answer.
For me it’s even simpler. I back the club to make the right call, one way or the other. Their decision making will be based on a lot more info and considerations than I’ve got access to.
We can back the club all we like. Recent history tells us that could be a dangerous thing.
Banks could be questionable on-field too!
Because secrecy and legal threats are what some people (generally rich and powerful) use to keep on offending and avoid prosecution. Jimmy Seville, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffery Epstein are all examples of rich and powerful people who avoided detection and it could be argued were protected by the system.Why can't the law make the publication of names forbidden until after the truth of the case has been decided?

Something that's also possible in Australia is a media totally controlled by 2 aging megalomaniacs.Short of totalitarian control of the media, I don’t think it’s possible to do that when the alleged offence has happened in a different jurisdiction.
But if the alleged offence has occurred in Australia then court imposed media suppression seems to be possible (Eg: George Pell)
I put it down to bad luck.‘Whether he is guilty or not is obviously the most critical issue and determiner of his future with the club.
However, there is the second issue of JDG ending up in these situations repeatedly. It is not just bad luck. He is making decisions that end up where we are now. He may just be an innocent bystander but he is a bystander none-the-less. Why is he here gain?
It may not end his career, but it will impact on the dollars he earns and how good his career ultimately is.
Was never charged with rape get your facts straight if you hate the bloke then hate him but don’t make s**t up that’s a big mistake to make buddy he was charged with indecent assault which by definition is sexual assault without rape and he was cleared of any wrong doing and police have to pay his bill so that clears him of all that BS but you want us to hold it against himNot to get into a lengthy debate about this - but De Goey was accused of grabbing a woman's vagina - that is sexual assault.
He was accused of rape a number of years ago. That is sexual assault.
It was not claimed it was a "harmless" pat on the bum.
False allegations of sexual assault, while absolute nightmare fuel, are exceptionally rare. As I said, how extraordinarily unlucky he must be to face TWO false accusations on opposite sides of the planet.
The woman in the US would not have known who he was, so to pull out the celebrity card as if she was just doing it because she knew he had the means to cough up some cash doesn't wash.
What's wrong Jessika Power?Lets be honest, regardless of the outcome Jordy makes some terrible decisions in life. We all stuff up from time to time but Jordy's list of poor decisions is long. these are just some we know about
- Drink driving
- Caught riding motobike without a helmet
- Breaks hand in a fight
- Makes upbulltish story about broken hand
- Finds himself at the wrong end of a SA allegation
- Flying to new york to party on an apparent training trip and going out with what seems like an absolute tool of a bloke
- Filming and posting about said trip when everyone over here have been in lockdown- read the room jordy
- Having his dad as a manager
- Having is brother in law as a manager
- Asking for 1 million year when you have done SFA for 7 years in the system
- Taking 9 years to work out you actually have to work your arse off and have a high level of fitness to be the elite player you think you are
- And last but in my opinion by far the worst decision he has ever made- Going on a few dates with the awful Jessika Power.
I reckon you can tell a lot about a man by the type of women he goes for. If the last line does not raise serious doubts about De Goeys decision making then I don't know what does!

Lol * me. You are surely taking the piss. You accused the guy of being charged with rape and when someone points out how hopelessly wrong you are you try and take the moral high ground. It’s patheticNice run on sentence. Splitting hairs on sexual assault charges - they're sex crimes regardless and they're all horrible. The way you have worded your comment makes it sound like you don't think there's much serious about it.
Also, he wasn't cleared of wrongdoing. Charges being dropped is not being cleared. Being cleared is being found not guilty, but it didn't go to trial so he wasn't found not guilty.
Many sex crime charges don't go to trial because by their nature they are hard to prosecute. Physical evidence of sex crimes doesn't last through the years.
I'm merely saying he must be extraordinarily unlucky to find himself in a position of being accused of a sex crime twice in two different countries. Perhaps you should consider that he may not be such a great bloke just because he can play footy.
Err...Beams, Stephenson, Gubby, etc. etc. etc.How so?
I think we have to offer him a contract for 2023, otherwise he becomes a DFA instead of an RFA… right?
So we just offer him a minimum chips contract to cover ourselves.
She’s as fake as Ricky Nixons merchandise lineWhat's wrong Jessika Power?

Is this an irrefutable fact that he kicked a guy when he was down? Have you seen it in a video or read a media report?Huh?
He's still up for assault. He could still do jail time in the US.
Unless they somehow spin him kicking a bloke while he's down into self defense, I'd argue he's far from out of the woods.

He's not young anymore; this is when we should be seeing the second coming of Dusty. But no, we're seeing a complete and utter w***er.
