I don't know Dusty personally but I get the feeling he is neither of the personality type you mention.
Hopefully not but let's be honest, the bloke isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.... He can play footy though so good on him. Let the leadership group lead him... Not the other way round

I am running with that saints fans logic.
No more ninth jokes.
We basically made the finals all those years!
We "basically" won the flag the last three years.

How so?

Well, "basically" we won the EF for the last three years.

And we never lost a game after the EF.

Therefore...

Premiers 2013, 2014, 2015. (Basically) :drunk:

We "Basically" saw Dusty drawn and quartered by not just the media, social commentators, opposition supporters, club legends and even sections of our own supporter base. All before waiting for both sides of the story to emerge. Dusty by his own admission couldn't give his side of the events, but thankfully various other witnesses could. Well played RFC and dare I say it AFL by not being reactive to the media hysteria, for instigating and most importantly waiting for a conclusive Police investigation.
Make no mistake Dusty behaved like an absolute dill by being rat-arse drunk in public during preseason and deserves to be punished in house by whatever the Leadership group deem appropriate, but that should be the end of it. By witness accounts he was baited (repeatedly) and bit back hard. He now needs education and support to get better at dealing with that kind of issue as I fear it will only happen to him more often now unfortunately. Anonymity is no longer a thing for you Dusty, get used to it. If you choose to play up in public, you will be target number one for the media and every punter with a smart phone. I know I personally wouldn't like to have the ability to be out of the public eye taken from me but that's his reality now, he will though be more than adequately financially compensated for that for the duration of his career however long he's future actions dictate that to be.

My question is will any members of the media, print and television, issue a retraction of the defaming character assassination type of comments that they so willingly attached to him before the inconsistencies of "Tracy's" embellished stories became obvious.

Oh and I'm still eagerly awaiting Rita's similarly themed articles attacking Luke Hodge for his drink driving during the finals series (an actual Police recorded offence Rita!) and the "Hawthorn Duo" post grand final rape allegations. I won't hold my breath waiting.

I suppose the pinishment will be handed down today. Either way it will divide opinion even further as being to lenient or to harsh.
Huge meltdown coming if there is no suspension time.
There will be no suspension, how can you suspend someone for doing nothing wrong other than telling someone to GAGF after being hassled.

If the afl revert back to the original made up statement then why did they go to the cops.

The afl will just blab on about reviewing the police statement blah blah blah while we don't condone violence against women blah blah blah we don't feel dusty did anything out of the ordinary blah blah blah we now consider this a club matter blah blah blah.
