Irrespective of the outcome of the police investigation, the reporting of this story is a disgrace and all St Kilda people should make this point known in every way they can possible. e.g calling radio stations, print media etc.
Not only is this slanderous of #11 and #44 but at NO TIME does CH 9 explain:
1) why after 6 years has this former policeman come forward
2) how did CH 9 come to be in contact with this former policeman
3) did CH 9 pay him for the interview
Now CH 9 (tonight) have interviewed the mother of the woman involved.
ALL OF THIS BEFORE NO NEW EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PRESENTED!!!
To St Kilda supporters / members, contact every media outlet you can to show your rage against this CH 9 crap.
To St Kilda FC, please boycott CH 9 and HS for the rest of this season at least.
To CH 9 and HS, you better make sure you have no skeletons in the closet as the Karma train is coming your way...
To Geelong, we are coming and you'd better be ready....
Go Saints!!
CH 9 are scum of the earth....

Like the mother of a daughter who made for all intents and purposes flimsy, unsubstantiated and ill founded allegations would say anything else.
Pfffttt.
What crap.

I know this really sucks with what is going on but at the end of the day Channel 9 and the Herald sun is a business. A Business like any other business no matter what kind, will always be out to make money.
I am sure Channel 7 and 10 are spewing they didn't get their hands on this story first. Reports like this keep people watching and that in turn will make them money.
We can vent all we like, but really its a business at the end of the day and they will report anything that will grab the public's interest, unfortunately this sort of story will attact interest every day of the week.

That's the sad truth unfortunately. I post on a local footy forum which I have done for years. I was disappointed and angry to see that many posters who I respected had actually bought this rubbish by The HUN and Ch9. I couldn't believe it. When I tried to point out the facts, they dismissed my views out of hand as being a current serving police member and a saints supporter with an obvious bias. The sad truth is that this story has created the very interest that Ch9 and The HUN are looking for. We can jump up and down all we like, but until the inevitible conclusion is drawn that there will be no charges laid and that this whole issue is actually about police leaning on other police and not the facts of the case at hand which have already been thoroughly investigated, then it will keep popping up in the press and the broader media.Dal_Santos_Gal wrote:I know this really sucks with what is going on but at the end of the day Channel 9 and the Herald sun is a business.

Sorry all, I can't agree with you flaming ch 9 or the Hun.
Yes they have sensationalised this nut ulimately this is a serious public issue. Remove our football club from the accussed and then contemplate what is being alledged by a former police detective, that his investigation was compromised and he was pressured to not present a full case.
The fact it is our boys involved is hugely dissapointing but in the end they are part of this.
The only questions I want answered by the former detective are this:
1. Did you do less than you should have due to the pressure?
2. Did the brief that went up to the DPP have anything left out?
If the answer to the above is yes then the case must be reopened. If the answer is no, then his claims of pressure must be investigated but made clear that the case itself was ultimately not compromised!
So, sorry to be the odd one out but this is a serious issue with significant public policy issues.

This whole situation stinks of trying to sell piss rags and get people to watch a TV station. NO new evediance whatsoever was put foward. The only thing the article (I didnt watch the story) gave us was the opinion of a former copper. BIG F'N YAWN.
However I will vote with my wallet.
I will never buy or read the Herald Sun again.
I will never watch ch 9 programing again.
BANG BANG

The Hun and Ch 9 have a very close relationship with Eddie and Collingwood, any fool knows that.
It seems to me quite strange that this story has come out EXCLUSIVELY to them and no one else - so the questions that should be answered are:
1. Why has this story come out 6 years after the event.
2. Why hasn't this matter been the subject of an internal police enquiry BEFORE Ch9 and the Hun got into it.
3. How long is it since the two Detectives left the force, were they sacked or did they resign and if so, why?
4. Was payment made by Ch9 to one or both the former Detectives.
5. Are the former Detectives associated with and/or supporters of Collingwood and are they known to Eddie Macguire and/or Mick Malthouse.
Many will agree that the timing of the reporting by Ch9 and the Hun some two and a half months after the Malthouse spat and lies with Milney could be seen as a "payback" to the StKFC.

I’m appalled at Channel 9 and the Herald Sun. Truly disgusted! They have tried their utmost to drag both of these players names back through the mud again! IF there was something there originally, I’m sure it would have been properly investigated. Surely the Vic Police aren’t that corrupt?? Surely?
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Yup... surely cost, resource allocation, whatever you want to call it, is a consideration when deciding whether to pursue many, if not most cases.GrumpyOne wrote:How to take a sensible comment and beat it up in a headline to imply something completely different.

Victoria Police would go to the end of the earth to find a footballer guilty of anything, cost would not come into it, if that's the case, then you can expect the case against one A.Lovett to be dropped!!!!!
This is the doing of Channel Eddie and one or two others, as I have said all along, just remember Milney had a pretty decent week before hand, to the discust of a few: Ed, Mick and one other who is yet to be mentioned on this forum!!!!!
Ps: Was always going to be a family member on Channel Eddie last night, as previously stated!!!!!

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.
