Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand

I drank more when I was underage compared to now, it's been years for me as well. Can count on one hand the amount of times I have drunk since turning 18 and that was 15 years ago.

You horrible law breaking human being!!

The club would also like him taking time off now when he can't do much with his rehab. That way they can get him back in early so he can have a longer preseason when hes actually healthy and can properly train

Clearly Jobe is on a fact finding mission.

Studying the effects of northern summer on LTIs. Ale is a secondary study to see if drinking makes Australia bat better. unfortantely results are so far inconclusive this further study must be conducted, starting Thursday in Nottingham

Everyone gets that and I also understand why he needed time away from the game BUT he is the captain, the ship is sinking and he is having a drink and getting a tan at lords. Powerful message that sends to the young blokes.

Meh, it's not as though anyone respects him anyway.

Could also argue that the club has told him to take 2-3 weeks of his leave now while he cant do anything so that he has to come back 2-43weeks earlier than everyone else. In that case he's just following club orders and doing what he's been asked by the coaches.

The current generation of young parents and how they wrap their child in bubble wrap and refuse to ever let their poor munchkins experience any kind of failure or setback.

Doubt he's getting a tan, been pretty cold over there, hardly seen the the players without their lovely cable knit jumpers on yet.

The thing is though, like so many things these days, it's 'not a good look', so Jobe will hang!

 

[The Passenger]

The big thing about the Jobe drinking thing is that I thought the general rule in professional sports was any players injured or in rehabilitation are banned from drinking? Maybe if it's a season ending injury it's not as stringently enforced?

They should just shut these forums down - God forbid people be allowed to have a discussion about stuff they have an opinion on that's different from others

One beer? He's out for the year. So a beer won't hurt.

That is my philosophy but I'm not sure it's the clubs philosophy's any more...

Who says its not mid strength? Thats not even really beer

You can actually drink full strength beer at the cricket in England, crazy I know.

No wonder they have been racially vilifying Mitchell Johnson

If it's season ending then it shouldn't matter.

As long as he's not drinking a lot.

 

[Beerfish]

I hope he's drinking a lot.

Not that you have to drink to have a good time kids.

It's Essendon, they have form in not playing by the rules.

I like what Jobe is wearing, looks sharp.

 

[peternorth]

friends who are also hawthorn supporters arrogantly glossing over the richmond win. have tried to engage a few mates since then, in a jovial way. one heard me calling out for him, and kept walking while laughing. another simply said "yeah whatever". another flipped me the bird, and blamed umpires.

My brother is a Richmond fan, he's got a very dark sense of humour, seemingly common to most Tigers fans, I was happy for him. I like fairytales in sport, and a Richmond flag would be just that.

Hawks played horrible, what percentage of that you attribute to Richmond I am not sure, either way Premierships aren't won in August.
