Scandal Tom Silvagni convicted of rape

[Gavin Excell]

Its incredibly insane given the current situation with Tom

Talk about a complete and utter lack of logic

I dont know all the ins and outs, but SoS seems to have a major falling out with Carlton when he left. Not sure if that's been resolved or not

 

[boncer34]

If he is convicted he has to shut up, if he said that whilst he was convicted its a different story imo

Put yourself in SOS shoes, what would you do? You protect your son at all costs

My son could kill someone and I would still be in his corner, rightly or wrongly

Theres a difference between being in your son's corner and denying they committed the crime their convicted of.

Adelaide Advertiser saying he messaged the mate asking him to tell the chick that he had returned. Surely that suggests that he acknowledges someone went into the room.

Yeah there you go, directly asked him to lie via text

Wonder how far they’re going to go with this? The opportunity for the discounted sentence from pleading guilty and showing remorse is done, so now it’s just about how much money they blow trying to turnaround the verdict.

You have to wonder whether there was a time where if he wasn’t a POS, he could have accepted what he’d done, thrown himself at the mercy of the victim and negotiated a way out that saw him punished much less severely than a sentence that’ll eat up half a decade. But they’re locked in for the ride now.

 

[Mister Carlton]

I remember reading when Jack played his 100th game, he didnt want to attend his celebratory function post game and sat it out in the car park. I get you can leave a place not on best terms, but surely you swallow your pride and be there for your son. Sometimes its not about you.

Given Carlton’s Respect Program, the SOS comments yesterday would have been devastating for our club.

Saints is such an appropriate fit for all this bullshit.

Very thankful for the outcome.

Read a news snippet that said Sylvania was also expelled from Xavier College when he was 16. The news article was deliberately vague as he was under age, but it alludes to an incident of a similar nature

I've heard rumblings he's done similar before

This is gross. A woman was r*ped and you're "glad" and "thankful" it doesn't affect your football club.

flipping gross.

Yes there was something on X about an incident in 2019 that resulted in his expulsion

Go back to supporting Tanner.

I hope the prosecution somehow managed to get this info to the judge at least. The jury wouldn't have been allowed to hear it however.

 

[jwikked]

How is this admirable?! He is basically saying my POS son hasn’t done anything wrong! If he accepted the verdict and his son’s guilt he could still stand by him but he’s not doing that.

Perhaps he’ll accept the verdict, if an appeal fails. You’d be silly not to appeal any guilty verdict.

Yes football tribalism is the important outcome here.

You w***er.

Ok turncoat.

 

[Sqotty from office works]

Listening to SOS statement outside court, I stupidly waited for him to wish his son was innocent but hoped the girl in question was ok and getting all the help needed

Oh well opportunity missed by SOS

His reputation going down with his son. He's all in.

They've dug a deeper and deeper hole with absolute no alternative theory.

His actions are not that of an innocent man.

 

[Bogart]

The poster is referring to Tom's gf, not the victim.

Oh sorry my mistake

 

[dmc333]

Probably lucky there was a suppression order.

This thread would be 2500 pages by now if there wasn't.

 

[RAPPA]

The dad and each of the three boys have all publicly displayed traits of being self entitled douchebags. Apple-tree.

 

[Doggy Dan]

SOS: We won’t be making any comment at this stage. Then continues to multiple comments insinuating the victim is a liar.

It was a prepared statement as well, just crazy stuff.

Impossible position for a parent to be in, but just say no comment and STFU.

 

[Mynamesinuse]

Really!? I have a 16 year old son. He has tried to pull the wool over my eyes many times ( as I did to my Dad when I was a kid ) and I’ve called him out on it many times. I still love him but never excuse his behaviour if I don’t think it’s right. I think the blindly believing “my son is perfect and couldn’t possibly have done anything wrong” is a big part of this whole situation from the beginning

Maybe he truly believes him.

 

[Teagueeee15]

Any reason why Stephen Silvagnis job is not finished?

If Bob Smith from St Kildas playing list did what Stephen did he would be out of a job for sure with all the media pressure.....

SOS would be part of the boys club and his wife is high profile in media/entertainment circles. The AFL bubble doesn’t tend to disown these types. At worst he might have to lay low for a little while, before being let back in like Hird.

The shaggy defense.

 

[Aussie in exile]

Well we know what's going to happen to him in prison, and so does he.

Yes ok Tony Soprano
