    And, according to the Age, the most recent assault occurred Sunday. Weren’t they broken up already?

      I read it that way too. I think it's just a poorly constructed sentence.

          Oh dear - this is getting very messy now to say the least

            The offending sentence says: "The 19-year-old AFL rookie was charged with aggravated unlawful assault occasioning bodily harm relating to an alleged incident with his ex-girlfriend Lekahni Pearce in a Perth hotel on Sunday morning."

            As he was not charged Sunday morning, I think it can only be read that the incident was Sunday morning. Which implies they were together after she posted allegations to twitter.

                Wow that is a strange relationship.

                Whatever happened in the first instance, why would they want to catch up again this weekend?

                  I would suggest that in at least 90% of DV cases, this is unfortunately common.

                  Often the perpetrator is a different person sober than under the influence of drugs/alcohol. They then beg the victim to take them back, say that will get sober etc. Victim takes them back and it happens all over again.

                    I assume that you’re assuming that alcohol was involved and have no real knowledge of the situation?

                      My comments were purely general about DV situations and why victims go back to someone who has assaulted them. Please don't turn it into anything else.

                        Conjecture unhelpful. We have no idea about this particular case. Let the justice system play out concerning these serious allegations.

                          my point was from both points of view.

                          If her allegations were correct previously why would she have him back (which you covered) but also, his career is looking him in the face, why put himself in that situation.

                          That’s before even thinking about what he’s done from that point onwards.

                          Feel the papers being stamped even if they weren’t already.

                            Agreed conjecture is unhelpful. My comments weren't conjecture, they were a generic response as to why a partner might go back to someone who has violently hurt them.

                            I find victim blaming absolutely poor taste and the lady in question shouldn't be challenged as to why she met up with him again. No DV victim should be challenged in this way.

                            Being disgracefully dumped from the hub, then getting arrested and being charged with domestic violence is not the type of behavior I want my club to accept.

                              Here's the deal... we don't know if it was his ex in the hotel room that these charges relate to.
                              All of the stories say it just a "a woman".
                              It could be a set-up.
                              It could be that the boy has a problem that needs to be dealt with.

                              Still speculating.
                              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                                Elijah is not a kid but he is a very young man. IF there is any substance to the allegations being bandied around, maybe the club could allow him to continue on on some kind of probation. It would be very humiliating for him and quite a commitment for the club but it could be the difference between a life being straightened out and a life going down a very black hole.
