Andrew Lovett

[hearts on fire]

Lovett has been sacked by St.KIlda, so we won't be seeing him in 2010.

Do you think he will play AFL again?

Do you think he will play AFL again?

Probably not, although he is a talent and who knows what the future may hold, but I'd think he's done in the AFL now ... Most clubs are really working hard at the moment to enhance their image.

Career over, could be freedom over for a while as well.

any SANFL clubs throwing Brown Paper bags at him yet?

This is what amazes me about the aint's when Leigh Montagna and Stephen Milne and were accused of rape they didn't suspend the player's in question. The player's were not charged unlike A. Lovett, the problem is St. Kilda have jumped the gun and sacked him and it hasn't been convicted of rape only charged. Matthew Stokes charged with drug trafficking and Geelong suspend the player in question until round 8, fine him and make him get a real job.

St Kilda Football Club confirms that a meeting proposed by Andrew Lovett and his manager Alex McDonald for yesterday did not take place.
At last Wednesday’s AFL Grievance Tribunal Hearing, the Tribunal stated that it would provide the Club with detailed written reasons regarding its jurisdiction by Friday 5thMarch.

On that same night last week, the Club stated publically that a decision regarding its next steps would be made after having the benefit of reading the Tribunal’s written reasons. As these are yet to be received, St Kilda’s position has not changed.
Both parties however, agreed on a meeting for today.

The AFL yesterday held discussions with St Kilda wherein the Cub has confirmed it would participate in an independent mediation process in order to resolve the outstanding issues.

Lovett’s management advised St Kilda that in view of the discussions with the AFL regarding a potential mediation process, the meeting arranged for today was not required and should not go ahead.

The Club believes that a mediation process could be an appropriate course of action to most efficiently resolve the issues between the parties.

could well be some legal action, what ever happen to innocent until proven guilty!!! with the benefit of hindsight of course

[The Sleeping Giant]

Lovett has already been paid out for this season. I don't think he will push things any further.

[Jim05]

Probably have a year in VFL or SANFL and be picked up by GWS

he was found not guilty of rape.
I wonder if a lesser charge would've stuck?

[GWW]

Yes they have, I'm not sure here is the place to name them though however.

edit: I know of an SANFL footballer, but now I see you wrote NRL/AFL, which I'm not so certain of.
