I hope Dustin learns from this life lesson. Nothing good can come from being drunk and disorderly at a very public place on chapel street.....for no other reason than it gives self righteous bit$ches an opertunitity to shamelessly over exaggerate .

I would imagine that it's hard enough being an AFL footballer without this kind on nonsense.

Dusty ( and his team mates) would be better served focussing on winning finals.

Fair call, Mat but we still want our players to be men and not take poo from idiots.
It's all they have when in public.

Jane Doe wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Channel 7 would throw her under the bus saying they just reported her side of her lying story. I'm not sure what the legal implications are for the media running with incorrect stories. Surely there is a law out there to protect against this sort of rubbish happening all the time.

I don't think he will, but I would. I'd be furious about having my name dragged through the mud and I'd want the club to go into bad for me in a big way

Go after Channel 7 and they'll throw her under the bus, ending her career. Do it.

She tried to mess with Dusty's career and image. Destroy hers. Good luck getting a job somewhere after this.

Chris Gayle is.

If Dustin Maori does too, it would expose these hole media bullies if not for a week.

When it comes to one of their own they've gone to great lengths to protect her identity and you'd have to ask why.

These allegations could have landed Dusty in jail.  He acted like a yobbo by the sounds of it, but the threat to kill is a serious allegation and that will hang over his reputation for the rest of his life.  That aspect of the whole matter I think should be tested and the only way to do that is to go to trial or for her to make a statement of denial, that she may have exaggerated.  She can say she felt intimidated and when he was drunk and out of order, she felt fearful.  And you can understand anyone feeling fearful at a time like that, but she went a bit too far IMO and has damaged his reputation permanently.

I mean folks have we also gone litigation mad here too...Dusty, pick yourself up,show some level of maturity and get on with what you are being paid squillions to do.....win us a premiership

If her motivation was to create a headline, and she is a television producer who went straight to the media instead of the police, then I don't think it's as simple as Dusty just getting on with the job and forgetting.  Well, he should probably forget, but my curiosity needs a bit more persuading

She should apologise for the crap she has caused.
If she doesn't and there are no consequence then how is her behaviour being held to account?
Is it just that we are comfortable to say that anyone can have a crack at provoking a footballer in public and if it comes off then good for you but if it doesn't then good try?
If she doesn't apologise or worse if she doesn't feel the need to apologise then I wonder how many low life's out there would be diswaded from doing the same thing?
Litigation is one way of saying - stuff this and stuff you, might make them think twice next time.

the fact the dusty has  publicly apologised to her for his behaviour that day...how will that hold up in court?
Title: Re: Should Martin sue for defamation

He apologised for swearing. Not something he DIDNT do
Title: Re: Should Martin sue for defamation
Post by: Gigantor on January 15, 2016, 02:20:11 PM
so swearing is outside the behaviour?
Title: Re: Should Martin sue for defamation
Post by: Stalin on January 15, 2016, 02:22:55 PM
The judge will laugh at you, Swearing is legal

Further more the authorities know saying sorry is PR 101 .

It's not something you get jailed for - threatening to kill is

He at no stage copped to threatening to stab her with a chopstick or hitting the wall just above her head as she publicly claimed and many in the media regurgitated as the gospel truth.

which ever way you cut this ,Dusty was a nong ..he should pull his head in and get on with it ,and leave the litigation to something more serious

Hmmmmmm depends on your view, he was getting peeed and carrying on with mates as thousands of australians do every day, I don't see too much harm in that

It would seem like a lot of the crucifiers have gone from "hang the bastard" to a "he was an idiot approach" to justify their past jumping to conclusions approach

Everyone is a nong at given times in their life.

But not everyone gets publicly defamed before millions of people.

What would you do?

Unless you play for Essendon or coach them, one should always give people the benefit of the doubt and let justice take its natural course.  He was a stuffwit, no crime.
