A lawyer for former AFL player Andrew Lovett has told his rape trial the alleged victim willingly had sex with him.
The former Essendon player and St Kilda recruit is accused of raping a woman at a Port Melbourne apartment in 2009.
Defence lawyer David Grace told the jury the alleged victim never once indicated she did not want to have sex with Lovett, and was responsive and willing.
The court heard Lovett was shocked when she later collapsed crying and he almost immediately denied raping her to this team-mates, who were at the apartment.
The court was told St Kilda player Jason Gram will testify the complainant told him she thought she was having sex with him and not Lovett.
Lovett has pleaded not guilty to two charges of rape.
