Martin Asked to Leave Restaurant / Apologises to Female Patron

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Football clubs are the ones which teach life lessons are they?

 I thought they were focused on football. And left the life lessons to the authorities of the state or church

Absolutely yes they do. Even at a local footy club, there is a tremendous ethos on people achieving life goals outside of football.

As for church, not even 50% of young people in Australia regularly attend it. Can you really hold church as a better alternative to moulding young men than a football club?

I couldn't give a flyin rats toss bag

I want a flag

Not a god dam team of role models they are crap at the sport in question

Come back to me when they win one flag then you can do all the PC crap you wish

And you think I don't want a flag?

What kind a pathetic justification for Martin's supposed actions is that?

I want it so I don't give a poo about anyone else's wellbeing.

KB is dillusional, Dusty deserves nothing of the sort. She should be minding her own business, and if she was that offended she should have gone to the police not wait for some anti richmond mate of hers to insist she report it.

Bents is 100% right this is an issue only because it was a female. If it was a man it would be a very different story, bit like the young lass who pushed the cop aye!!!

Imagine if dusty did that

Nothing story but to appease the usuals, give him a few weeks off and a 20k fine. To quote bents we are here to win a flag not get involved with this media driven 1 year rubbish.

BTW what did didak cop for that christopher hudson incident?

[Diocletian]

Taking Crocker over Markov would've handy...closest in the draft to Martin....

[🏅Dooks]

This thread is losing the plot.

6 week ban? 12 month ban?

Seriously.......

[Yeahright]

Martin was quoted in the club statement as saying: “Regrettably, I was intoxicated and that in itself is completely unacceptable.

“I do however take responsibility for my behaviour and I am deeply embarrassed.”

“If anything I have said or done has caused anyone to feel threatened then that is totally inappropriate.”

HAHAHA if they're going to fake quote him at least make it believable.

Not sure he deserves much of a suspension really. I would think threatening someone, although bad, is a lot better than actually doing something. What happened after Clarkson attacked a fan? All this extra attention because the person was a female and because its Dustin Martin

Clarko snotted a bloke

Rosie batty is kotcha with that

Okay, he are finally some responses from senior Club officials ...

--------------------------------------------------------

Club manager Dan Richardson said Martin would be counselled over his alleged behaviour.

“This was an issue involving alcohol on the weekend, but that’s not to say it’s an ongoing issue,” Mr Richardson said.

“This issue on the weekend is certainly something that we’ll talk to Dustin about and work through that and go from there.”

The Tiger’s leadership group will also discuss whether any further disciplinary action is required.

“This is certainly a bit of a hiccup, something that he’s not happy about and neither are we,” said Tigers football manager Daniel Richardson.

RICHMOND CEO Brendon Gale says Dustin Martin “acted like a goose” when he threatened to kill a woman while drunk at a Melbourne restaurant at the weekend.

Speaking at a Women in Leadership Summit this morning, Gale said Martin had made a “very serious mistake” when he threatened to kill a young woman and stab her in the eye with chopsticks at a Chapel St restaurant on Saturday night.

Gale is a Male Champion of Change, one of a number of high-profile and influential men helping to advance gender equality in Victoria.

He said the incident created an opportunity for the club to say what was considered acceptable behaviour towards women.

Gale would not comment further on the issue to the Herald Sun following the panel discussion, but said the club would release a statement about Martin later today.

I've never justified anyone hitting or threatening women. In fact I'm rather against it

I merely say let the police do the policing. Or let life lessons be taught by bubbas large black willie

If a football club been rubbish for te best part of half a century - radical idea - perhaps they should stick to footy instead of Gandhi impersonations

By the way, what was the outcome of the charges laid against the  lady who 'actually' assaulted someone (a cop no less) on Melbourne cup day?

[Francois Jackson]

  according to a few on here she copped her right whack.

Now dooks swap dustys face with this descent looking bird and tell me what the outcome will be. Cop laughing again?

Stalin, you really are getting out of hand with comments like that. Have you ever been molested or raped or know of people that have?  I certainly have met them and they are seriously scarred for life. You cannot make comments like that and be taken seriously as a concerned human being.
