Gram had a year to run on his contract.

Wouldnt a merger between St Kilda and Richmond be awesome, just think of the after game parties and end of year trips

ST KILDA FC STATEMENT REGARDING THE TERMINATION OF JASON GRAM'S CONTRACT;

St Kilda Football Club wishes to advise that it has terminated the playing contract of Jason Gram.

Following the breakdown of a personal relationship, Gram failed to honour repeated undertakings to the Club concerning his behaviour.

St Kilda Football Club has been working with Gram for a number of months on this issue in an attempt to ensure his behaviour appropriately reflected the values shared across the Club and to assist with the management of his personal welfare.

The Club recognises that Jason’s conduct has been of a non-violent nature.

Following charges laid against Gram on September 6 this year, the Club in consultation with the AFL and AFLPA imposed an indefinite suspension on Gram and facilitated his participation in an AFLPA counselling program.

Regrettably, the inappropriate behaviour has continued and his manager was advised yesterday that the Club had decided to terminate Gram's contract, which had one year to run. Gram was also advised of the termination in a meeting with Club officials late this afternoon.

Gram was arrested last night and was charged with respect to his ongoing behaviour. Gram appeared in the Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court this morning.

The AFL has been informed of the situation and has supported the Club’s position.

St Kilda Football Club will continue to make appropriate professional support and counselling services available to Gram and his former partner.

To protect the privacy of the parties involved, no further comment will be made.

Is the club sending him to jail, as well? Seems they've found him guilty.

High price to pay for going for the phone a friend option rather than 50-50 or the audience ...

I dont understand how the AFL allow Lovett and Gram to be sacked by the Saints yet Jarrah stayed on Melbourne's list?

Where is the consistency in that?

Sure suspend them until the courts deal with them, but to judge them before a fair trial?

Greek-Cypriot law ... whatever the Big D decides on the day

Maybe there has been previous incidents which the public don't know about.

Wasn't grams name thrown around in one of the other saints off field incidents

Convenient for the Fainters in regards to list management issues.

Interesting that the Club hasn't chosen to use the phrase "alleged behaviour", instead preferring to use "ongoing behaviour".
Perhaps the player has admitted the alleged behaviour, or perhaps the Club has already made its own mind up on the issue

Only difference I can see is Jurrah comes from the Central Australia tribal regions and moved to town. The other 2 are just regular average Joes in the AFL industry
