Apologies to the club here
Well after that 60 minutes interview I, like all saints supporters, I would imagine, would like to see some public apologies from those in the media who chose to use Kimmy Dumby and her lies to attack our club.
And I, too, would like to personally apologize to Sam Gilbert for calling him a moron and a tool after the photos taken from his computer were released. Sam was taken advantage of by this conniving, manipulative human being. The only mistake he made was to give trust to a girl he was attracted to, and that's a mistake lots of young men make, and old men, too, just look at Nixon, who is old and extended his trust even after he knew how untrustworthy she is!
Sam has paid his penalty about 50 times over for his mistake. He's got some good karma to look forward to now.
Any others who slammed the boys or the club, feel free to make your apologies here.

"Too big, too strong, too whatever."
Here's one

Beverly Knight also said the teenager was mistreated by St Kilda after her relationships with Saints players.
''The AFL and the whole AFL family are a very powerful force. Why have they come down like a ton of bricks on a 17-year-old girl? Basically it was shooting the messenger, wasn't it?'' Knight said

Here are two from the Herald Sun, December 29...
"St Kilda legend Ian Stewart...said his beloved Saints should try to help the 17-year-old instead of calling her malicious and a trouble-maker.
South Melbourne great Bob Skilton, said the club had been heavy-handed and should have dealt with the photo issue months ago".

Yep so many idiots came out and said, should have done this, should have dealt with that.
AD was pretty clear that all had been done.
Wouldn't mind a name and shame thread outlining all the moronic idiots that enjoyed having their say over the few months, especially some of the opinion writers in the HS.
It seem even the 60 minutes presenter thought Kim Duthie was a d**khead.

Pretty sure we'll never see a single apology from that rather lengthy list of individuals who call themselves journalists but who couldn't corroborate the most important aspect of all of their stories before reporting it as fact and then using it to slander a football club.
Well, you've all been completely outplayed by a 16yo girl.
Instead of running for cover like cowards, how about trying to maintain a shred of credibility by admitting your failings and apologising for the damage your "reporting" caused to innocent people and their families?

Well I called Gibo a moran at the time and I still stand by it.
If he had deleted the photo's especially the one of Rooey as he was asked at the time. She wouldn't have had some "nude scandel" pics in the first place.
She is a little slurry who stole from Gibo and she is clearly in the wrong for doing that, but why did Gibo keep nude pictures of the boys on his computer to make it easy access for her is beyond me.

I am excited to stay at St Kilda and this is a great result for the Club and all our fans. I’m proud to be part of the Saints and am pleased to be playing football with the Clubâ€

Why embarrass Riewoldt and Dal Santo?
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Sam is guilty of nothing more than stupidity in trusting her and appears to have been forgiven by Riewoldt and Dal. He's in for a big season. He owes us.

She stole personal property which is against the law, what she did was far worse but it doesn't excuse Gibo either, its a two part story and he did his part in this too.

“Today was my first day back on air at 3AW for 2011 after a long break. But, as I mentioned in my opening comments, I wasn’t exactly idle while on holidays—especially over the past couple of weeks.

I eagerly await for the apology from Robyn Riley at the Sunday Hun who believed the whole story and repeated it verbatim about the poor little school girl who lost her babies and being cast out into the world-blah,blah blah.
I don't imagine she's going to admit in her next column the words "I was sucked in by the dear little liar"

We are all entitled to our opinion and because you don't agree you want to say we are like the media, give me a break....
Gees I am really sure you would just LOVE to have nude pictures of yourself sitting on one your GOOD mates computer waiting to be taken by the next troll.
Hope it never happens to you because oh your friend was doing nothing wrong by keeping them after YOU asked for it to be deleted.. yeah go figure...

Agreed.Cairnsman wrote:Actually one of the positives out of all of this is that it has really provided an education to the populous of the difference between a "social commentator" and "journalist".
I'm really clear now about what a media commentator is.
I have a new found respect for the likes of Mark Robinson and Rohan Connolly, who have recently written some excellent footy articles.

Richter, Robbo was up to his substantial arse in this, especially early.
Connolly hasn't touched the story. Kudos.
