Leon Davis has jaw broken at pub - Collingwood again go into denial!?

Question

Leon Davis had his jaw broken in an incident at a Melbourne pub, last Friday night. As usual the Collingwood club has come out & stated that he was not to blame & no action would be taken against him.

Why do I find that not surprising? No matter what their players get up to they are defended, excused & made to look like angels by that club.

Apparently, Collingwood's story anyway, two girls in his party got into a fight (nice girls!); Davis intervened; security intervened; some were kicked out of the pub; Davis was flattened by someone (?).

If Davis was such an innocent party in the incident & was the victim, why has he said he would not make a complaint or want any charges preferred against the offender?

Other clubs deal will transgressing players for the sake of the clubs image - but Collingwood continually show that they consider themselves a cut above others & are not answerable to anyone.

Answer 1

he got droped last year for geting on the drink

Answer 2

I don't think it so much knocking Leon Davis for his part in this incident. Looks to me as though the club has given him advice not to pursue any assault complaint. They just want the matter to be forgotten as soon as possible The least said about it the better.

That is the way the club generally handles anything it's players have been involved.

Answer 3

your spot on mate, they do it and so do Carlton, Carlton have a real history goin back 30 odd years of it from what i can remember, they always make up some c**p, dont know who is worse at it Carlton or collingwood, we can now ad hawthorn and the eagles to that list, the eagles should be expelled for bringing the game into disrepute, i am not kidding here.

Answer 4

Bad time for this to happen, especially since all reports are that he's been training the house down.

The most surprising thing to me is that no charges were laid against the people that did it..

Answer 5

All AFL clubs need to be read the riot act for the next season and if any players step out of line then action, immediate action, must be taken.

AFL is starting to resemble the Gridiron and how those overblown ego's act.

This is just my view so feel free to give me the thumbs down.

Answer 6

Everyone wants to pick a fight with a footballer, I have no problem defending Leon Davis

Answer 7

Maybe he was an innocent victim Imawanda.

Maybe he is just a really nice bloke that wanted to help.

These things do happen and it's not the first or the last.

If what you think is true...Good on them if they can get away with it.
