'Hooray for the Saints' ? WTF :shock:
StK knew this guy's form and still traded for him.
Another recruiting coup for the idiot factory. :roll:

While I can see the funny side in footballers getting in the 5hit after hitting the piss I don't find Lovett's situation the least amusing I must say. The Blues may be bad but if the alleged incident involving Lovett is proven then he is nothing but scum of the highest order.

Dirt bag? Can we wait until he's charged and convicted before grabbing the pitchforks and burning torches?
It's all the SANFL's fault.

Good point there. If he is guilty I hope he gets the book thrown at him, however lets wait until the facts are revealed before we start slagging him off, sharpening pickfortks and lighting up the torches.

As fans of sport, we often find ourselves reading the pages of WHO! or NEW IDEA or WOMENS DAY or whichever magazine, and probably say "Who gives a s**t what Jennifer Annistor is doing/rooting/eating. BUT as sports lovers we all have an opinion on what happens in our realm.
It is easy to say "Let's not judge Lovett or Fev or Houlihan or whoever" but at the end of the day, as sports mad freaks, we are the people who decide their pay.
Having said that, are we entitled to judge them?
My anwser is YES!
We can judge them, rate them, love them or loathe them. WE make them.
Yes their ability got them there, but without us, they do not make coin.
Lovett has let the Saints & Ross Lyon down. End of story.

Think what the others are saying is lets not judge until all the facts are in. I think once we all know what has happened you can say whatever you want, but it is a bit shallow to do so based on hearsay. You would just hope that someone is not that stupid.

agreed- there is many cases of "crying wolf".
However, given that the Saints players are refusing to train with him suggests that this is not likely in this case...

Being suspended doesn't equal guilt, it's like work place drug tests, sometimes it returns an inconclusive result and you have to be stood down until the sample is analyzed in a lab; being suspended from work doesn't mean you're a junkie.

Unfortunately for him he's got history and you're right, it doesn't look overly good for him.

It makes me laugh when supporters use these incidents for points scoring against other teams. At some point, every team will have something like this happen. No point claiming the high moral ground for your team because it will come back to haunt you, nothing is surer.

Sure every team has something like this happen, after all every team has a bloke who faces rape charges.

Can't see anyone claiming the high moral ground either. Or are you saying that if it involves a club that's not your own you better not start a thread or post in one in case your seen as doing such ?

And I'm surprised this thread has stayed up at all (and the Blues one) considering the thread about Bock slapping his missus was taken down within a day or two of it happening. No high moral ground there. Just home ground advantage.

True..

Given the reports in yesterday's Herald Sun of the alleged offence (sexual assault) and that it is reported that other Saints players don't want him around it doesn't look good for Lovetts future as an AFL player.

Newspapers aren't allowing comment on this story, so inline with previous topics possibly causing legal action to this site, it has to be locked.
The Carlton saga can stay as the papers are allowing feedback on it.
