Anyone else annoyed that Wingard told the giants to stick it? its borderline draft tampering.

Poor form Simon White, don't get me wrong I love footy its just the guys playing it that bug me.

If I was a GWS supporter, I'd be more annoyed that they didn't have the courage to draft him when they had the chance.

It's getting so that clubs need to send minders out with players whenever they want to go out on the town, to keep an eye on things and be ready to jump in and apply the shepherd as soon as some flog gets in the player's face.

Not really. He was asked an answer in a pre-draft interview & answered truthfully.

 

[Cringle]

****ing hell White. If this is true I've got no respect for him at all. What is this year 8 where we get called names and decide to physically retaliate. Weak.

That too. Back yourself in to convince the kid to stay when he comes out of contract.

 

[Silvagnis]

O.K. Simon is in trouble......

For his taste in music?

Let the dust settle before we hang White for being guilty.

Two sides to every story.

 

[Jatz]

How does the solicitor dad raise such a bellend for a son?

In no way am I condoning what White did though.

He won't get anywhere with that lawsuit. These incidents happen hundreds of times every weekend.

Absolutely..................although Boyd should have told GWS that he wouldn't play for anyone else but Carlton.

Here's your chance McInnes.

It's a rehash of what was published earlier.

It's a pure case of his word against White's (to this point). Video evidence will demonstrate that. Soccio has already lied.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Mr Soccio’s dad Carl, a Melbourne solicitor, said his son had been struck by a “coward’s punch’’.
“If these guys think that because they kick a little ball wacking people they’ve got something coming,” he said.
“If that punch had been different it could have destroyed my family’s life.’’

If Dad is a solicitor, he should know better than to go making public statements like this before the case has been investigated.

 

[Wickzki]

Apparently butter wouldn't melt in Michael's mouth according to Mr Soccio.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Carl is a property solicitor. Not a prosecutor or anything.

Hard to say without knowing what he said. If someone had a crack at my family they'd get some kind of retaliation for instance.

 

[HARKER]

Pretty sure it would melt on that lip though...

 

[HARKER]

Carl is a property solicitor. Not a prosecutor or anything.

So he takes a lot of notes then.

Didnt you see MEB_'s post? where the whole family are bellends... I mean Essendon* supporters... nah I was right first time around.

I did not. Makes a lot of sense though.

Tarnya Hird Board Harks!

 

[zeeCFC]

It would have to be some serious provocation for the club to turn a blind eye to this altercation. I get the feeling White will be suspended for a bit by the club.

Lucky Andy McInnes has found some form...

Could be a case of slander and libel if things point to his son being the instigator of the whole incident.

Absolutely! And if that's how it plays out, I'd say go for it!
Tired of players being easy set-ups for this kind of thing.
Because of his public profile, the player's name is dragged through the mud, while the other clown remains Neddy Nobody.

someone on CSC is confident Boyd has done exactly that.

I'm not buying it. But imagine if true.

Pinch me I'm dreaming... Sounds like a Nuffin' Buckley special really
