Have you got a link?
Im curious as to whether the comment was made to her face or behind her back and she overheard it. It's a bit ridiculous she claims to be a fan yet she doesn't even know the player's name and deacribes him as the 'chestnut colored hair.'
With no inside knowledge whatsoever, this is what I reckon would have happened. They agree to a group photo, but as confirmed by one of the links early on in this thread, as she lines it up her phone rings and she doesn't end up getting to take said photo. I'd guess that as she answers the call (coz, as I think we all know, there's no way a 21 year old girl would even think of rejecting a call and just getting on with taking the photo that a group of professional athletes had been good enough to pose for) and the players disperse, the comment is made and she overhears it.
Complete beat up. Hinch, just lol.
Zac Dawson had no consideration for other people when he took and kept the photos despite being asked to delete. You do realise AFL players have to set a standard right?Yeah answering a phone call when the players had been good enough to pose for a group photo is rude and if she got a rude response after that then stiff shit she deserved it. I'd expect the same thing if I was rude and answered a phone call when other people were taking time out to do me a favour.
The younger generation are all about themselves these days with zero consideration for other people but as soon as other people show a lack of consideration for them they scream blue murder. No better example than Kim Duthie.

Also why do you always defend St Kilda players on everything when they have equally done something wrong? According to you they call the umpire a fornicating silly and give away a 50 meter penalty that cost them a Grand Final and yet it still would have been the umpires fault for the decision even if everyone else thought it was wrong.
Grow Up!
I love how all these people who are "outraged" about this, are the same people who non stop abuse the players either here or at the footy themselves.
My friend has incriminating photographs he took at my bucks night. They have not made it onto the internet over the years since this event.

Exactly. We've got Plugger saying it's likely to be made up (no surprises) and a stack of other posters making fat jokes. None of you fellas have overweight friends, sisters, even girlfriends or wives? Please.Exactly. I can't believe people are posting that it is funny in this thread. If this is true (and I suspect it is) the player(s) should be disciplined severely ( I would suspend them for a month). Somehow the message has got to get out to these idiots that it is NOT ok to put someone down because of their size and neither is it funny.
I find it really hard to believe that there are people in this modern world that still think like that.
Maybe the Freo supporter was fat and looked like that serial pest SmellintineBrendon Goddard would be my first guess. still recall that game when he kicked the football deliberately at a victorian freo supporter behind the goal causing injury. a total flog. the girl should send the jumper back with it smeared in dog shit
So we can call someone tall, short, skinny but not fat. Political correctness is so crap.
And the carbon footprint of a fat person is so much bigger. There destroying the world!!! Keep into em guys
Your players got a talking to about the incident because the players' denials are not believed. Why would a girl embarrass herself by making up such an allegation?So the so called 'facts' are this: The girl was young ... wrong.
She was very overweight ... apparently true.
She was insulted by allegedly being called fat by a footballer ... who knows!
Derryn Hinch jumps on this unsubstantiated, unproven 'incident' and reports it as gospel. Short memory Hinch.
Shame on you Hinch. Shame!

I know all footy fans have a bit of willful blindness, but gee, the blinkers are well and truly on Saints and Blues at the moment.
So, I'm guessing you believed the the whole St. Kilda schoolgirl issue was true as well. Maybe the blinkered ones are those who choose to believe without question, something that may or may not have happened.
That's a completely different case. Why would someone make up a story where they were called fat by a footy player? Open your eyes.
If she's a big enough fan to go and get an autograph - at age 21 no less - how can she not know the player's name?
From the 3AW interview it sounded like she wasn't a St Kilda supporter, she was getting a photo for her friends birthday who was a Saints supporter, but she could only recognize Nick Reiwoldt (it wasn't him who made the remarks).
