A former Geelong junior footballer is suing the club for failing in its duty of care after he was allegedly raped by a group of players in the early 1980s when he was a teenager.

In a writ lodged with the Supreme Court this week, the former player alleges he was assaulted by three older Geelong players who resided in the same house, which was owned by the club.

Yes me too, I just presumed they were just urban legend horror stories.

I’ve heard one tale many years ago about him, but with no real evidence.
This story is just horrendous.

That's the one. It's beyond belief. I heard it from my boss who was a former Hawthorn player of absolutely no note, however same era.

Probably just an urban myth. I hope.
