Ok folks it has been mentioned that this is now a police matter. Please refrain from discussing this incident further.

Thank You.

Thank You.

There's been no confirmation in this thread of that being the case and I fail to see how it could be at this stage given the injured player has been no where other than in an ambulance and at the hospital.

[Mister Footy]

Apparently player's father was putting in report to police

A report to police can be opened by anyone just because the alleged victim hasn't or is unable to provide details about the incident yet does not allow open slather comments by others.

[Mister Footy]

Let me repeat this has apparently been reported to police so I am not about to comment Didn't see the incident - in the men's room at the wrong time.What I will say is that I too hope the townies lad is ok - no matter who you barrack for no one wants to see a player carted off in an ambulance. All games especially finals should be played with your best players available all day

Is going to be interesting to see how this all plays out at club and SFL level. Word is Dent didn't want club report put in after Jonny incident. He seemed to be "falling over" a lot behind play yesterday

Townies were very strong yesterday and up to halfway through last quarter result could have gone either way - full credit to BP.

As far as Jonny is concerned DTH your attempt to sledge our trainers again has fallen flat - I heard he had to follow Hanks normal procedure probably why I didn't see him at training.

Don't be so gutless referring to police report etc excusing you from commenting. The injured player has more to worry about at the moment than waltzing into a police Station! If you didn't see it, there's little you can say other than maybe agree that if what has been alleged, did in fact occur, the offender should be booted out of football for a hell of a long time.

You have to be kidding about Jonny yesterday falling over a lot behind Play. Are you suggestingTownies targeted him? Mate they couldn't catch him to lay a finger on him.

If you didn't see Johnny on the ground multiple times you clearly weren't at same game I was
Just to be clear I don't condone any type of violence on the field - nor do I condone the verbal abuse of a toddler and middle aged woman by Townies supporters just because the kid is wearing his dad's number on his guernsey as I have heard happened

[Dutchy]

If anyone can confirm a police report please let me know, if not we will allow sensible discussion on it.

So You can't comment on something you didn't see but you can comment on verbal sbuse you didn't hear first hand?

I along with other Townies also don't condone the abuse of children or other innocent spectators. If we hear it, they're told to pull their heads in.

Jonny may have been on the ground multiple times but not as a result of any malicious or behind the play acts. Possibly lingering effects of last weeks concussion? or running so fast he was falling over his own feet.

I saw this "verbal abuse" incident, the Edwardstown supporter was handing out abuse to McKenzie regarding the alleged incident as he had all day (not sure if it helped the situation as he seemed to play better). The lady you mentioned walked in front of him at the time and started yelling at him regarding his comments. His "verbal abuse" to her was along the lines of "How would you like it if it was your son who had that done to him". Nothing to see here.

In regards to a potential police report, it would be much more effective to let the tribunal do their thing, give him 6-7 weeks, miss out on a potential premiership and halfway to a lifetime ban. The police report will hang around for months maybe years before anything happens, and rarely does a court hand out a decent punishment for something that happens on a sporting field. Meanwhile the lad will have enjoyed a potential premiership and everything that goes with it as the tribunal will not be able to do anything whilst there is a police investigation. That is, of course, if he is guilty.

- nor do I condone the verbal abuse of a toddler and middle aged woman by Townies supporters just because the kid is wearing his dad's number on his guernsey as I have heard happened

You might like to ask some more questions on that one. You'll probably find out the woman initiated the exchange by telling Townie supporters to stop giving it to a certain player, adding "it's a game of football and that's football'. She was told if thought that, she has no idea what footy is about and should should keep her mouth shut and keep walking!

[vics01]

How about grow up.. I am sure the footy was good talk about that

[Front & Centre]

I got to game just as incident happened in first quarter so didn't see it but wish I had. Spoke to many people there Vikings supporters and from other clubs and no one saw it .I did however see people yelling at and one teenager throw rubbish at a crying child wearing a 17 guernsey - disgraceful
Jonny Eagleton was getting plenty of attention behind play but still managed a brilliant game
It was a tight tough game and could have gone either way just like a semi final should be

[adelaide bank]

Yeah cause your always talking about the football Vics you peanut . All you do is whinge about Morphy parks

[vics01]

AB
Yeah cause your always talking about the football Vics you peanut . All you do is whinge about Morphy parks

Yep no love for them... SFL has allowed them to rort the system for what reason I fail to understand.

This coming from you!

when the money runs out you will go back down the hole

Yep agree - preference would be for SFL to handle it. If he is found guilty give him the punishment and allow the rest of the team to get on with the finals

On another note can anyone confirm the SFL being called to an emergency meeting at Marion?

[Esteban Vihaio]

when the money runs out you will go back down the hole

If it does, they might start finishing out of the finals like your team

[adelaide bank]

I was at cove the day you had your little hissy fit and walked out on your club so don't talk rubbish about other clubs Vics when you can't even support your own.
