Richmond great Kevin Bartlett has called the club\u2019s statement regarding Dustin Marin\u2019s violent threat towards a woman at a Melbourne restaurant \u201cpathetic\u201d.<\/h3>\n

\u201cThere were the usual regrets from the player. The apology and embarrassment from Martin and the comment that the club leaders will talk to Martin to consider action later in the week. Not one word that violence against women is totally unacceptable,\u201d Bartlett posted on SEN\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis allegation of this incident of threatening a woman to stab chopsticks in her eye as well threatening to kill her needed a more urgent and stronger response from Richmond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartlett said a 12-month suspension and a $50,000 donation to an appropriate women\u2019s organisation would be a \u201crealistic and fair conclusion\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to imagine a more serious allegation.\u201d<\/p>\n
