Groupies and the AFL

[YouIdiot]

It got me thinking how hard it must be, particularly for young players, to keep a grip on reality, when you can turn in the performance that the Eagles did and still be the focus of adoration and worship, even in another state. I've known previous Eagles players and what they have got up to, but I'd always thought that they were receiving the spoils of success. To see complete failure rewarded with open admiration was a bit sickening.

I honestly believe that supporters and club administrators often are more emotionally attached to winning or losing home and away games, at every level of footy.

It is more of a marathon and ongoing affair for a player than a supporter, whose involvement is watching one game per week, and as such there is less room for emotion based on one result.

Supporters would like to believe the players are devastated after each loss, and don't have any fun that night, but it would make for a very long year if they were so attached to individual results, as they are the ones that have to train the next day and prepare for the next match, whilst supporters have a week to build up to the next 2 hour emotional investment.

You'll hear a story of some star footballer, rugby player, golf star, doing a 'wham back thank you mam', followed by the female later running to the media (often crying foul), and the general public and media subsequently berating him for participating in the consensual act. Why?

What the hell is this?

Grow up kid.

Its called sex, or intercourse or ****ing.

I'd have a crack at Dangerfield should he walk into a club I'm at....



It is what it is. Don't resent AFL players for putting it away with half of Melbourne, they have to put up with massive crap (i.e. Franklin being hounded by those Franga moles to have them go to the papers etc) and don't feel sorry for the lasses who get the receiving end when they don't get the brownlow call up and they gave up their brown-low.

As has been said, so long as rape or other laws stay cool, they can all knock themselves out.

It exists, heavily, part of worldwide sports.

This is all about human instincts.

If blokes started worshipping the Elephant Man, women would queue up a mile to have sex with him.

True and the problem lies with the fact women are followers not leaders. You can argue the point forever, there are many glaring examples. But the thread is a bit of a waste of time. Everyone knows that starry eyed chicks are gold digging skanks forever on the hunt for their 15 minutes. Tell us something we didn't already know. The part that makes me laugh is how they seem to assume it makes them in some way important. Lol, he's just an AFL player, will be a nobody by the time he's 30, if he lasts that long, and will have been with several others in the time she thinks she's "the one".

There are a couple of groupies who post on BF reguarly. I could name 2 off the top of my head..........

Yards and Sooz?

I'm not singling him out, but this thread can go a long way to explaining Wayne Carey's behavior. He came to Melbourne as a kid and become a superstar. God knows how many of these groupies chased him and he probably thought every female was fair game. I am using him as an example because he has had extended coverage over misdemeanors.
It goes a long way to explaining Lovett as well. He would have had the idea in his thick skull that his alleged rape victim wanted to bed him if she went back to his apartment. Why would she be going back to his place. Maybe play monopoly?
I always see good looking girls hanging out around players at the games, even the ugly ones. The bigger the name, the bigger the game for the groupies. They want to brag who they banged. The players aren't going to complain are they.
It's just a part of life. Like in the teen college type films - Jocks - V - Nerds.
The Jocks always got the girls.
I remember I went to the Como Hotel a few years ago for some business meeting in the evening.
I take a look around and Jim Courier - who is an ugly bastard had a harem of the best looking blonds you could imagine.
Fame opens up a lot of doors and everyone want to be around you when you are in the spotlight.
Would Rebecca Twigley be famous if she did not hook up with Judd and wore that red dress at the Brownlow. Probably Not !
Being around successful people enhances your chance for success.

You might want to tell Nathan Lovett-Muarry he's on a rape charge as it could be news to him...

Yeah don't you love people that make a well thought out convincing post, but ovbiously don't really have a clue. ( And its not just the name that was wrong ).

According to some locals I met near Wagga who had played footy against some of the Carey's, his less famous siblings aren't much different to him, so I wouldnt necessarily agree with your theory. ( They supported the Kangeroo's DESPITE Wayne Carey playing for them ).

 

[YouIdiot]

There is some interesting literature regarding the parallels between sports stars/teams and warriors/soldiers, and the laws of attraction.

It is always interesting looking at how human reproductive instincts manifest themselves over time.

Yards and Sooz?

Haha I was thinking more Sweet Left Foot and Blues Man

Oh if the walls at The Hibernian could talk...

 

[Luvs2Slash]

Best thing about playing in the AFL.

If they don't feel like the groupies, with all that disposable income I bet they plough through hookers too. Good times.

 

[Fino]

Captain Obvious would approve this thread.

 

[shoe]

Loving this thread. More stories.

 

[lightless]

think this one is pretty known but a big name player around at the moment set out to do 100 girls in 100 days. got it in 80 days or something ridiculous

 

[Alpha1]

How do I find myself one of these groupie things?

 

[choo]

Warnie did !!

Who can forget the famous or infamous story of;
Dwane Lamb

Yeah a buddy of mine did that

 

[Blaster]

These days with Twiter and Facebook, you don't even need to go out to get your Groupies.

They come to you.

If you send them a message beforehand, they will bring you an after loving snack as well.

I know girls who go from one AFL player to another, in the same night.

 

[St 07]

I find it amazing how many girls I've met at pubs who honestly reckon they've rejected Joel Selwoods advances. If those girls were anything to go by, J.Selwood would have to be twice as rejected as me...I'm surprised the poor guy doesn't need therapy.

Whenever I get talking about footy with chicks I meet and they tell me they've rejected Joel Selwood (Jimmy Bartel is another one) I tend to just turn around and walk away then and there. I wonder if she'll tell Joel Selwood she rejected me one day?

Apparently Lindsay Gilbee has a cousin in every third pub in Australia as well which is great.

 

[lightless]

Yeah a buddy of mine did that

pretty sure it included 2 girls on top of a car bonnet in a street as well

We've all forgotten it choo.

Hypothetically
Imagine if a footy team from interstate travelled 10 times per year and decided to have a competition when they were interstate.
Lets imagine that after their games they would all go out together for a good time at a nightclub.
There they would all try and pick up the ugliest girl. The player who gets to bed the ugliest slapper wins the prize. Keep in mind, it was easy to bed the good looking ones throwing themselves at the players.
Next, lets imagine that a player gets a girl sooo worthy that immediately all players not only concede that trip but also the year and potentially ALL TIME.
Imagine if he married her and she later found out about the competition.

Hahahahahahaha.
