One of the better AFL articles I've read in quite some time. Really balanced, put a lot of the lynch mob in perspective. Caro as usual comes out looking really good.

Dustin Martin to know penalty over Chapel St chopstick incident by end of the week

A VERDICT on Dustin Martin’s penalty over the Chapel St chopstick incident could be handed down by the end of this week.

AFL and Richmond officials spoke on Monday and are expected to quickly adjudicate on Martin’s punishment.

Victoria Police released a statement last week declaring that “no criminal offence took place” between Martin and his alleged victim at the Mr Miyagi restaurant on December 5.

Despite calls from the likes of club legend Kevin Bartlett for Martin to be rubbed out of the game for 12 months, the star midfielder could yet line up for the Tigers in their season-opener against Carlton and instead receive a hefty fine.

Martin, 24, has already apologised for his drunken altercation with the woman at the Prahran restaurant after attending the Stereosonic music festival.

The AFL handed the case to police on December 10 after independent witnesses contacted the league and downplayed the woman’s version of events.

She alleged Martin threatened to stab her with a chopstick, but decided not to make a statement to police.

On ruling out criminal charges a Victoria Police statement said: “After reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to all parties involved, including numerous independent witnesses at the restaurant on the night, investigators determined that no criminal offence took place.

“Police take all reports of violence towards women seriously and investigate all complaints thoroughly.”

With respect Wp

Your world view is truly bizarre

Works safe have just stung the drug cheats the better part of 3/4 million dollars and you refuse to batter an eye lid, rather choosing to led the witch hunt against our poor minority

I very much aware of the Worksafe case but with respect to you, Worksafe are not going after Hird they are prosecuting the Essendon Football Club, you know the company.

They are not punishing individuals. there is a massive difference.

Furthermore, I suggest you actually read things and get your facts straight before you post foolish statements. the EFC are yet to receive any penalty from Worksafe. The QC representing Worksafe have recommended that the EFC be fined $610k but as yet they haven't been fined...

"WORKSAFE Victoria has asked a magistrate to fine Essendon more than $610,000 for risking its players' health and failing to provide a safe workplace during the ill-fated 2012 supplements program.

The club will be sentenced on January 28 after formally admitting to two charges of breaching the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

The court was told that two key figures at the club ignored clear protocols and sidestepped medical staff in their bid to give the team a competitive edge.

This fixation people have with comparing the Dusty saga with Hird is to use your words "truly bizarre". It's like comparing an orange (Dusty) with watermelon (Hird) they are not even remotely similar. TBBH what Hird did but not actually doing anything is far worse than what Dusty has done but that doesn't mean Dusty shouldn't be punished

As for leading a witch hunt "against our poor minority", please give me a break. What "poor minority" exactly?

Just because I refuse to excuse his stupid loutish behaviour doesn't mean I am leading a witch hunt. You want to pat him on the head and say he is completely innocent in all of this then perhaps it is your "world view" that "is truly bizarre".

I can guarantee that if it was any of your "whipping boys" who had done what Dusty did you would have them hung, drawn & quartered within 3 minutes (if that) of it hitting the news services and then for good measure you would have demanded that they be sacked without any investigation.

CNN political contributor Errol Louis went off-script Thursday morning when he reported out loud one of the truths the DC Media has spent decades covering up: that a total of 14 women have accused former President Bill Clinton of some form of sexual abuse, from rape to groping to harassment.

“After what we’ve seen with Bill Cosby and with old accusations,” Louis said, “There are about 14 women who could be said to have made claims at one time or another” against Bill Clinton.

Proving she hasn’t done her homework on one of the biggest stories of the day, an astonished Alisyn Camerota chimed in, “Is that right? Fourteen.”

No action on Richmond’s Dustin Martin until AFL concludes report on woman’s chopstick claim

Peter Rolfe
Herald Sun
January 2, 2016


DUSTIN Martin will not be sanctioned by the Tigers until the AFL finalises its report into allegations that he threatened to stab a woman in the eye with chopsticks.

Richmond said it was unlikely he would be sanctioned at least until players return to training on Monday.

“We’re waiting for the AFL to complete their report. There’s no timeline on when that will be done,” Richmond’s Jaimee Damon said.

A verdict had been expected this week.

The AFL and Richmond officials discussed potential action at a meeting on Monday.

Martin, 24, apologised after his actions at the trendy Mr Miyagi restaurant on Chapel St on Saturday December 5.

He had been partying at music festival Stereosonic at the Melbourne Showgrounds before the incident.

The AFL’s integrity unit interviewed the woman before it passed on details to police.

Victoria Police interviewed the woman, but have not pressed charges.

Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale, who labelled the star midfielder “a goose” at a women’s leadership forum last month, has been under pressure to act against Martin.

Martin, who finished second in the club’s best and fairest this year, has played 131 games for the Tigers since his debut in 2010.
