Whats the story with these thugs??Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy has revealed Bombers rising star Andrew Lovett had already gone through "a fair amount of tragedy" before receiving an intervention order from a Melbourne court.
A woman was granted the intervention order against Lovett, 23, in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday after claiming the Essendon player assaulted her and sent threatening mobile phone text messages.
Lovett - who did not appear in court - was ordered not to go within 10 metres of the woman.
He is also not to make any contact or knowingly go within 100m of the woman's home or workplace.
Tough guys beating up on women....
As I have said before, with this sickening culture so prevalant in this game, I am ashamed that the code is called "Australian" rules... get a new name, please....
