A Queenstown resident claims St Kilda player Sam Gilbert urinated on a shop window before assaulting him during the club’s recent New Zealand trip.
Restaurant owner Danny Carson said Gilbert “belted” him early last Sunday morning after he asked him to stop urinating on a shop window displaying All Blacks jumpers owned by his friend.
Four players were this week suspended by St Kilda after admitting to mixing alcohol with sleeping pills on the trip.
Saints chief executive Michael Nettlefold this week said claims his players were seen urinating in public were a “complete fabrication”.
However Mr Carson, a Queenstown resident for 20 years, claimed he and his wife not only witnessed the incident at the popular Queenstown Mall but was assaulted afterwards for telling Gilbert to stop.
Queenstown police said they had not been contacted by Mr Carson and were not investigating the incident.
St Kilda football manager Greg Hutchison claimed Mr Carson demanded 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 said.
As a result of the allegations, Mr Hutchison said the team would not return.
“If push came to shove, and it was my decision to take 70 people back there and I thought that it was going to get a similar response . . . I certainly would make the decision 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 St.Kilda 1 of his team mates was probably holding his cock for him.
