This is all very well and good and I agree that no good could come to the club through strong arm tactics.saint66au wrote:Yep..cant add much to this...agreed a billion %Maxstar22 wrote:A massive plus 1 from me Joffa.joffaboy wrote:So lovely comments on this thread.
Hoping the girl dies, calling her a sl*t because she slept with more than one male (if a bloke does that he is a hero ), a bitch, a moll, etc etc.
The people who made these comments are at the same level they accuse this girl of being at.
Fools and ignoramouses.
The girl needed help, lawyer have obviously gotten through to her and shown that her destructive ways would hurt her in the future.
The Saints have come out looking good with the settlement of a couple of hundred bucks to help her out.
The girl looks foolish, and has admitted lying about a host of things and has lost any sympathy she may have been getting.
So to the dills who abuse her and call her a sl*t, I hope you dont mind when your kids are labelled that.
And the judgemental garbage about her parents. There is a person on this forum (not me) who knows her father well, and he is distraught about his daughter and the way she is acting. they have tried everything and cant control her.
With two girls of my own at around the same age, I have nothing but empathy for the parents, and there but by the grace of god go I.
About time some of you judgement fools examined your own motives for wishing the death of a young girl of abusing her as a sl*t.
Really disappointing but typical of internet hero's.
While I am not sympathiser to the girl for her actions, I do believe she is in serious need of help.
Something major has happened to her for her to start acting in this manner. You only had to look at her now defunct facebook page. She was the normal typical teenager and then all of a sudden the pics and posts began to change to what we see today.
Good on the Club for offering assistance. I just hope it is actually used for good and doesn't turn around and bite us on the bum.
However, anyone who thinks that we come out of this decision looking like the good guys you are sadly mistaken.
I heard about this on the 3AW news and the way it was worded was "The girl states she was not given any hush money by the St Kilda Football Club but they are paying for her accomodation."
This makes it sound exactly like hush money and the media will use any angle they can to make the club look like the bad guys.
This is not because of some perceived vendetta against the club or some sort of conspiracy where our club is being targeted.
Trust me I am not that paranoid it is simply because the club is far easier target than a young girl.
I work for a company which is a very easy target and we cop it in the neck all the time.
