A resident of Queenstown alleges that St Kilda player Sam Gilbert urinated on a shop window before attacking him during the club’s recent trip to New Zealand.
Danny Carson, the restaurant owner, stated that Gilbert “belted” him early last Sunday morning after he requested that Gilbert cease urinating on a shop window that displayed All Blacks jerseys owned by a friend of his.
This week, four players from St Kilda faced suspension after acknowledging that they had combined alcohol with sleeping pills during the trip.
Saints chief executive Michael Nettlefold claimed this week that reports of his players being seen urinating in public were a “total fabrication.”
However, Mr. Carson, who has been a resident of Queenstown for two decades, asserted that both he and his wife not only witnessed the incident at the well-frequented Queenstown Mall, but he was also assaulted subsequently for urging Gilbert to stop.
Queenstown police stated that Mr. Carson had not reached out to them and that they were not investigating the incident.
Greg Hutchison, St Kilda’s football manager, indicated that Mr. Carson sought an apology and two football jerseys in exchange for his silence.
“That makes me a little bit dubious about what the person is on about,” he remarked.
In light of the accusations, Mr. Hutchison mentioned that the team would refrain from returning.
“If push came to shove, and it was my decision to take 70 people back there and I believed that it was going to yield a similar reaction… I would definitely choose not to go back.”
Buford Balony says: I bet this clown wouldn’t have the guts to piss on an All Black…he’d last about 2 seconds. Being from St. Kilda, one of his teammates was probably holding his cock for him.
