A MELBOURNE Football Club player has been ordered not to assault his teenage girlfriend after an early-morning incident last weekend.
Colin Sylvia, the AFL's No. 3 pick in the 2003 national draft, was yesterday also ordered by a magistrate not to harass, threaten or intimidate her.
The club may now be obliged to report the matter to the AFL under the league's new policy that promotes a safe and inclusive environment for women.
Sylvia, 20, appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court yesterday accompanied by his girlfriend, Elise Whichello, after police were called to a road in Albert Park at about 3.30am last Sunday.
Police saw a woman, later identified as Ms Whichello, upset and found Sylvia nearby and apparently affected by alcohol. The court heard Sylvia had allegedly threatened to kill a man who witnessed the alleged incident if he reported it to police.
Ultra farcical.
