Sheesh, doesn’t sound too good
Chris Scott did say he would spend a lot more time on the inside this year
You can find them if you do enough digging. Ace is right, the are absolutely horrific
If the charges are serious enough, then fark “the player”…what about the damage “the player” has done to the victim?
But of course, the AFL couldn’t give a toss about the victim as long as the AFL’s rep isn’t tarnished.
Yes, this was in the fish and chip wrapper last year
“An AFL player has been charged with rape and several other sexual offences including sexual assault and compelling by sexual touching with the alleged offending taking place in the Geelong region”
And today
Bruhn and another man were spoken to by detectives from Victoria Police’s Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team last Thursday at Geelong Police Station.
I wonder how long they are going to run with the “injured finger with no set return date” thing
Strange that the club have still had him training in the last couple of weeks -after he was charged.
The AFL must be very very tempted to compensate the victim to now make a Statement of No Complaint to try to force the DPP to withdraw charges given the victim would no longer give evidence and that relying on the victims original written statement would be deemed insufficient to convict.
Or they could just be honest and admit the truth.
"AFL players come from a cross section of people in society and AFL cannot control the actions of any of the 850 players when not at work. The vast majority of AFL players behave in an exemplary manner.
The finger thing is egregious as it’s just flat out lying to the AFL community.
Bruhn’s not a big enough name for AFL to get involved.
What about "AFL players interact with a cross section of people in society and AFL cannot control the interactions of those people not in our workplace”?
Stupid victims interacting with our non-profit profits…
would love geelong to be exposed for this, wont happen, premierships were won
Which is a worry when you remember he spent the off season travelling the US with Guelfi, Perkins and Caldwell. They need to get nicer friends.
I’d only be worried about their judgement if they continue to associate with him after all this has come to light.
Rapists and abusive men don’t walk around wearing badges (unfortunately)
Yeh, but a club can trade them out to GWS
To be honest, I don’t think it shifts the needle at all for that game.
Geelong should beat St.Kilda by 10+ goals with or without Smith.
Calf is code for third strike
Chris Scott was complaining how AFL Stadium favoured StKilda.
FFS mate, you are a great coach and your record is the best in the business, but that has been significantly influenced by the 11 games a year played at the most irregular shaped ground in the comp.
Was it that you had the 4 points inked in, or that Danger looks likely to do time for his elbow, or that your MVP Stewart is going to be out for weeks. Or you are a sore loser.
If you watched Geelong completely dissassembled by Gold Coast last season, you can tell they are fragile.
