LoL,The Media.Sensationalism at its best once again.
Funny, this is the same media you're fawning over when they have stories on the pies playing up, or the dons and WADA and so on

Just because it's one of our own in the gun doesn't mean they suddenly only report bullshit

True, but as I just posted CH9 just said he tried to stab a woman to death.

I'm not suggesting it. It was suggested in the article today, and some media discussions yesterday
Can we just forget the media FFS, they blow anything up to make a story juicier, if i farted they would add some icing to the story and report that i shit myself.

As per the age article, apparently if the afl/RFC believe the lady felt at risk of physical harm, they will refer to the cops. If she didn't, and he's just a rude drunk flog, the league will handle in house

100% pure speculation, but if a year is in play it would be in conjunction with this being booted to the cops
She already said she did, so I don't know why it hasn't already.

I love how we adore the media when they are sticking it to the other clubs, and we want boycotts now

We ain't that special you know

I don't think it is that unexpected that the evocative and hyperbolic nature of media reporting becomes more noticeable when one of your own is in the gun

This story seems to be typical of the narrative that develops for many stories in this social media dominated landscape. An ambiguous set of events leads to extreme polarization of opinion (camp 1 - Dusty the would be murderer, camp 2 - woman, the vindictive baiter). Both accounts are obviously wrong

I just hope to christ that Richmond and the AFL are committed to getting the facts, and administering a punishment of reasonable severity proportional to the offence

And here in lies the issue again. Why is the victim being coerced into doing things she didn't want to happen?
Just a guess, but I suspect it's more about making sure she's absolutely happy to proceed without the cops

They don't need articles at later dates about how the afl rammed this through, and she wasn't given a fair go
