St Kilda Football Club confirms that five St Kilda players and one Club official have been notified that they are required to give evidence at the Andrew Lovett committal hearing.
The committal hearing will commence today, Tuesday 10 August and conclude on Friday 13 August.
It is important to note that the St Kilda players and official who have been called are civilian witnesses, and are not giving evidence for or against the accused or alleged victim.
From the outset of the investigation, the St Kilda Football Club and its players have fully cooperated with Victoria Police. Any appearance of players or officials in court this week to give evidence is a normal part of the legal process.
While the Club understands there may be a level of general interest in this issue, given it is a criminal matter that is before the courts, the Club and its players are legally not able to make any further comment.
