Troy Taylor [merged]

[one-eyed]

From "RockyBalboa" on BF:

Spoke to a parent of one of the current players last night who told me that Taylors charges have been dropped and that he hasn't been charged with anything.

IS this true?

If so, then shouldn't this be in the press just like the allegations were?

Can anyone confirm or otherwise?

Don't be silly OE, of course we won't hear about it and it won't go to press if the allagations/charges are dropped. We are Richmond not Carlton....

How can charges be dropped when he hasn't been charged with anything?

it's a "Big Footy" thing.

At the risk of drifting off topic, a prime example of the the poor journalism constantly displayed by the rag that bought us the Troy Taylor story.

HUNTERS have illegally shot and decapitated a pig at a Territory national park.
And they left the headless hog on the roadside for tourists to see.

From the same article

Litchfield senior park ranger Julie Trembath said she was not sure if the pig was shot or whether it was hit by a car and then interfered with.

The author also shares the surname Cavenagh with the author of the Troy Taylor article.

Regarding whether we hear anything more publicly if there are no charges laid,  possibly not. The media that reported it may not want to bring it up again as it highlights their incompetent one sided reporting, unless there is 'woe is me he got away with it' angle from one of the supposed victims and the RFC may be just happy to let the incident drift into the never never rather than dredge it up again.

Tigers keep Taylor on training track
By Matt Cunningham
Thurs 14 Jan 2010, Page 004

TERRITORY AFL draftee Troy Taylor trained with Richmond yesterday as he awaits the outcome of a police investigation into an alleged assault on New Year's Eve.

Taylor joined fellow Territorians Richard Tambling and Barunga rookie Relton Roberts as the Tigers went through their paces at Punt Rd.

It was the first time 18-year-old Taylor has hit the track since allegations surfaced of his involvement in the alleged assault in Alice Springs. Police are investigating claims Taylor assaulted three people at a street party in the Territory town.

Rumours had been circulating on footy web forums that police had dropped their investigation.

But police spokeswoman Theresa Kuilboer yesterday confirmed police were still investigating the alleged assault after midnight on New Year's Day.

What a joke of a journo this bloke is...

Article is dated 14/1/2010, it says that Taylor hit the track for the frist time yesterday - well NO WRONG. FACT he has been training since the guys came back on the 4th.

He reports we trained at Punt Road - NEWSFLASH - we trained at Craigieburn yesterday

He clearly surfs footy forums for news ...... here's a suggestion try spending some more time studying the concept of accurate and responsible journalism rather gathering gossip of footy forums

Have a nice day

Any new news on Troy? It's nearly been a whole month and nothing has been mentioned since. The way the Herald-Sun wrote their story they made out it was a clear cut case against Troy .

That's true Y&B. It'd be nice though if this can be sorted out fairly quickly so the Club can move on without this popping up again during the footy season.
