Zartan, if it wasn't Martin, or any other AFL star, if it was Joe Bloggs, the lady went through the same process, the police investigated, charged the person etc etc. Would you see it the same way?

Well I don't know - I don't know what the lady said, or the manner in which she said it.. I highly doubt if some regular Joe Bloggs was drinking at the bar she would've approached them in the same way.. in all likelihood she would've avoided the confrontation..
Had the police investigated and charged the person and it came out he was an absolute tool then yeah I would see it differently.. but that's not the case - I see it as a lady who was confident to approach a drunken AFL star instead of all others because I think she knew he wouldn't retaliate - and if he did well she'd be famous

As I thought. Cheers.

Didn't say it was ok, and I'm not saying Martin is a poor innocent victim - just think it's a little blown out of proportion - and she wasn't assaulted as the allegation suggest.

Maybe he threatened to stab her in the face with chopsticks because she baited him asking what he was gonna do?
Meh I think she put herself in that position, she should've dealt with the situation better i.e. go to the manager or bar staff or even one of his mates, but instead she decided to be the hero who spotted an AFL footy player and thought she would jump on her high horse - when that didn't work she ran all the way to the news to get her 5 minutes of fame.
He didn't touch her, move on.
I think that Freo supporter should've handled herself better as well.
People who speak to others in a public place deserve what they get.
Hardly a comparison IMO.

Neither does anyone else, but they are quick to jump on the anti-Martin bandwagon..

And, yet, people were saying that woman shouldn't have got involved. Shouldn't have asked the gentleman involved to calm down.
Just when should people make a stand when appalling behaviour is being presented?

So, so wrong. I'm anti-people threatening other people with violence.
Have a good day.

One difference: I've seen footage of the Freo incident to formulate an opinion of the dude's behavior.

The Dude apologised.
The Dude did not refute any of the claims.
If it was not what had occurred, The Dude and his club would have fought their corner by minimising the claims (as we've seen with every other case of footballers behaving badly in the past).
It was a straight-out apology, with no other comment from the club or party involved, which is pretty rare in these cases.
Seems like he did something wrong.

Abuse is not just physical whether you like to admit it or not. But once again in this forum people come up with victim blaming comments (as when the Hawk rape allegations were made public) which are pretty puzzling and disappointing.
