Oppo Camp The Non-North Football Discussion & AFL Matchday Chat Thread: Edition IV

[Val Keating]

Should we be happy with what happened or should we have hoped for something more?

Dusty rolling an ankle would be fine with me.

And yes I know I’m a campaigner

So very glad we didn't get Dusty, dodged a giant bullet there.

He plays with the comfort that comes with 6-7 million bucks.

He plays with the comfort that comes with 6-7 million bucks.

I heard an interesting story on the weekend about Dusty. Friend was at a wedding, a "footy wedding" as it were, and Dusty was there (as were other players from various clubs). The person telling me the story was there as a good friend of the bride, the groom works for an agent, is big on the footy scene.

Apparently before proceedings it was made clear that players would like to let their hair down, keep your phone in your pocket, that kind of thing. Dusty rocks up with two +1s of the large hairy male enforcer variety. Dusty then spends most of the evening sucking on an ice pipe, but given everyone else was doing similar and popping pills and jamming various substances up their noses, no drama.

Towards the end of the night - into the morning - Dusty jumps on room service and orders up 20 steaks, the people present assume "Oh Dusty is shouting that's nice".

Then Dusty bails. Steaks arrive, nobody eats them, all too shitfaced.

But no, in the morning, it is revealed Dusty charged them to the room in a hahahahahha Year 10s prank ordering pizzas to the teacher's house type thing. $1000 plus worth.

Could well be giant bullshit, but person who told me isn't realy a bullshit artist.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'd err on the side of bullshit.

 

[Del191229]

Yeah, you take these things with a large grain of cocaine hydrochloride.


Thing is person wasn't in any way outraged about the drug use, nor did they bag Dusty, in fact said he was perfectly nice and polite and not up his own arse.

It was the steaks prank that was the main point.

If you're going to make up a rumour, you would go a bit wilder than that no?

 

[Beerfish]

It's a good story though. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Val Keating]

Everyone knows you don’t eat at the type of event mentioned by SLF.

I once went away for the Easter long weekend and ate one watermelon for the whole 5 days. Even that was hard work. There is of course the odd freak that has no trouble eating. But steaks? Nar

No one asked you shitlips.

 

[Val Keating]

The Cox one was bullshit, the Richmond player flopped harder than a ******* fish.

I hate this shit in our game of playing it up to screw teams over for the following week or to get a cheap free.
And the media is worse for always crying like toddlers about it.

It’s a joke.

 

[Val Keating]

I thought it was a joke at first, but are you actually banned from the bombers board?

 

[Beerfish]

Yep. Makes modding pretty easy I have to say.

 

[Devington]

It’s a joke.

That's as accidental and incidental as it ****ing gets. I wouldn't even play a ****ing free.

The point was Dusty was just being an arseh*le - allegedly - with the ordering of the steaks. Like, a stupid prank.

 

[SMaturin]

The Cox suspension has me baffled. Yet again.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The Cox suspension has me baffled. Yet again.

That is the worst suspension handed down since Jack Ziebell was convicted of murdering Aaron Joseph.

 

[Groin guru]

I'd asking him what his problem is. Then when he asks me what mine is I'd tell him "it's those ****ing neck tats and I don't like the look of your ugly face"

I assume at that point he'd go for a bind wind up but I don't play like that. I'd straight up cave his nose in with my forehead. He'd cry because you can't help it when you take a shot to the nose (it's basic physiology). I'd assume his gutless mates would try and help him because cowards don't fight like gentlemen. I'd dispatch them quickly because I've got no issue with them, my beef is with Dustin.

Then I'd snatch up Dusty in a Thai plum and deliver 3 knees to this mid-section and wretch his head down delivering 1 final blow to his face. He'd fold like an accordion. As I straighten up my tie I'd say "don't argue with a previous DAV winner...you'll lose every time"

So people just need to be taken down a peg. Not an injury troll.

 

[Groin guru]

The Cox suspension is a good thing. If this happens to a Eddie player it might draw light to this huge issue - inconsistency.

 

[Billy Not Really]

It’s a joke.

That right there will kill the game, give it a few more years and few more AFL 360 episodes of Whateley throwing a tantrum and sooner or later Michael Christian will get the boot and we'll all be BEGGING for him to come back.

I don't know why but I believe you yo.

 

[muttley45]

Both will appeal, same grounds, "Coz Cunnington..........."

 

[Event Horizon]

Cox will get off 100% on appeal. But it seems whoever is making the MRO decisions these days (is it still Christian) is smoking something

 

[Billy Not Really]

Its only by virtue of being harangued constantly by the media for 'inconsistencies' which is true to an extent but incredibly overblown. If he doesn't pull the trigger one week, he'll be harassed all week by the media/AFL at large.

I don't even envy his position, I think he's as fair as one can possibly be, he just bends to the medias will too often from outside pressure.
Just picture an AFL house type corporate dweeb or someone like Whateley making these decisions. It'd be a nightmare.

 

[Beerfish]

Not sure about the hatred for Whateley. I find he's pretty level headed unless Geelong are involved.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

I don't know why but I believe you yo.

Considering you listen to Alex Jones, this doesn't surprise me.
