Btw, I wouldn't be surprised if the remaining assault charge is also dropped or downgraded and never gets to court. After all, there were no reports of any real injury, as no-one received medical attention. Also, remember that after the incident, JDG and his tattooed 'mate' simply returned to the bar, rather than attempt to flee the scene.
However, the fact remains he is a dickhead for putting himself in such a position - clearly off his face at 2.30 am, while supposedly training in the US to get super fit.

does anyone know if the other guy had his charges dropped?
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
There was an interesting paragraph in a Yahoo sport column saying that if convicted Collingwood could tear up his current contract worth 750 K
Now I’m not offay with this stuff so any heads up on this being fact
Also was told that AFL can revoke his playing permit
Hoe real are these options if convicted

Just the “touching” charge dropped. Really don’t know anything about the other dude.think positive wrote:was it dropped against both offenders? not hearing much about the other dudeMJ23 wrote:^ thats what Ive been saying all along.
And Im not paying any attention to whats been "reported" other than at this stage the police report which said.
- all were intoxicated
- All refused medical
It also had several serious charges, one of which being in my view the most damning - was dropped very quickly.

If two 6 foot fit men glassed punched and kicked some one in the head multiple times there is a good chance of being knocked unconscious. I have doubts anyone could walk away refusing medical attention.think positive wrote:and if that son had a bottle smashed into his face, and was punched and kicked by two 6 foot men for the crime of defending your daughter?MJ23 wrote:

Still I am angry JDG keeps getting in the media for the wrong reasons

Yes he's a dickhead, but he's on annual leave. The intensive training he was doing was on his own time, getting shitfaced one night won't undo all that training. If he keeps it up he will still be in great shape.RudeBoy wrote:Btw, I wouldn't be surprised if the remaining assault charge is also dropped or downgraded and never gets to court.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I'm certainly not an acolyte of what the AFL does as a rule, but consider the following.
Part of the AFL protocols when a person is drafted is that there is mandatory AFL-run training/PD around all sorts of scenarios that the young person will face in their time on an AFL list.
Social media/Respectful relationships/acceptable behaviours are all covered in that professional development time.
When the player gets to their club, similar training is undertaken to reinforce the above. No one can say that they are ignorant of the expectations of either the AFL or his/her club around this stuff.
Commonsense would dictate that being at a nightclub at 2-30am and being (allegedly) quite inebriated, would not be a wise position to place oneself in.
Sadly, commonsense and elite sportspeople are, frequently, mutually exclusive. Although I love the brilliant number 2, I despair that if the penny has not dropped by the age of 25, it may never do so...
I am just glad that none of the participants in the alleged fracas needed, or sought, medical attention.
It saddens me to reflect on a number of late-at night or early-morning incidents in our country which have seen lethal consequences for those involved.

Whether he comes back in 3 weeks or 6 weeks is moot
Rest assured, unless he puts in a magnificent 2022, end of year, unlike our previous gossip, no team is going to offer him $900 per year.
So good chance he will play out his career with us.
And all this will be forgotten. Unless we are stick in the mud and are shocked by Rat Pack Mentality !

Sexual assault and a good fun grope is all a matter of consent. from what i have ascertained over here, it looks like said lady was very happy with the attention until boyfriend noticed. Honestly, nothing to see here. he doesnt need counselling, he needs nothing. A big night on the town (something he is absolutely entitled to) got a bit out of control due to one dude having a flirty girlfriend and not liking it is nothing to alter careers for.MJ23 wrote:agree 100% - as someone said before - I have a daughter. If he has sexually assaulted a female Id want him gone.MatthewBoydFanClub wrote:As much as I loved Milane he had a bad boy reputation when Hawthorn let him go. As I said in another post every individual is different, even ones who who share behavioral issues. If I had any doubt that De Goey sexually assaulted a female I wouldn’t want him back at Collingwood even if he was the best player in the AFL. I sympathize with Think Positive. However facts are facts. He pleaded not guilty and the sexual charges have been withdrawn. He deserves the presumption of innocence. Collingwood are doing exactly what they should be doing by suspending him while paying him the terms of his contract. Even if the club wants to get rid of him we’re stuck with the terms of his contract till the end of next year. There’s a lot to play out here. Just remember here Jordan De Goey isn’t the first or last footballer to louse up. He deserves the same consideration as any other footballer caught up in a situation which with a bit of common sense they could have avoided.MJ23 wrote: Yes, yes he did.
And again, depending on what actually happened yes Id welcome him back to make amends. Side by Side
I also have a son and to think that society could write him of so quickly when he could be innocent factually but guilty through accusation. Its just wrong.
He is training the house down by all reports and this was a three day break from that.
