Essendon legend Watson also said: “There’s no place in the world where that behaviour is acceptable. It’s never ever right, no matter what the circumstance, to grab someone on the breast.”

Gillon McLachlan was door stopped by the media just now:

* Respect for women is paramount. On face value it's a poor look.

* However, I have no information. Without any facts I can't comment and to do so would be unfair to all parties involved.

* It's with the AFL's integrity department. It is their intention to interview all those involved and then they will report back.

Here's the vision of what Gil said.

Garry Lyon is astounded by Dusty’s actions. It’s okay for him to grab a mates wife breast’s and then shag her, though it’s not okay for dusty to do it at a private strip club gatherings.

I’ve heard it al.

7 years ago lol at a strip club. Look at the hypocrisy of this organisation yet Zorko was brushed a side on national TV and alot more people affected.

Look, Gil has to rise above the noise and protect the real victim in all of this--the Toyota sales department. We simply can't tolerate damage to reputational assets

Sam McClure on twitter:


Dustin Martin, who might be the greatest player ever, facing criticism for an incident that was 6 years ago at a private function because someone felt special spreading a video.

No wonder he’s sick of living in Melbourne.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever respected what Sam McClure has said. Although the is pushing the narrative for dusty to leave Richmond so I’m not surprised

The king is back. Started well.

Really?
Got hand fed one and hasn’t done much else

Hope he lifts and think he will

[TigerLand]

Had a couple of lin point passes. Can't expect him to have 30 and 4. He's played 6 games in 18 months.

He really was 80% tho, which is an absolute disgrace by our conditioning staff.
