Injury Rioli & Bolton involved in nightclub incident. Shai broken wrist, 2 to 3 weeks.

[SumTingWong]

Her husband must be another one of those cuckhold men, can’t believe the toxic masculinity take on this sh*t.

Free speech for the dumb

 

[All Aust]

Yeah that rings true I reckon. Gil looks like the type of bloke who'd walk away while his partner is being sexually assaulted. That's what some people are advocating, walking away. Just leave the missus there while you try and find a security guard? There's a lot of lily livered bullshit floating around from some abject cowards.

Gill could afford to lease the venue and fill it with peeps who have the financial means, so if it was their whim, employ others to fight for them at another venue.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

They tried to gain re-entry.
Should have called Stacky and CCJ, asked for advice on nearby kebabs instead.
On the news tonight, Bolts apparently said outside he was going to put the bloke six feet under.
Need to bring in Johnny Ibrahim to local shores to sort out the transgressor.

All good, Dusty's on it, made the calls..........

 

[db26]

OK, you are his adviser then for a moment - you advise him to say what publicly.........?

Players need to walk away lol.How about we deal with real facts 2 blokes stepping up for there partner not one mention of the harassment of Rioli's partner.Common theme with AFL and other cases it's brushed aside by the afl in house and Gill.

I'm fed up with AFL to much dictatorship rules,umpiring you name it.

They are not perfect but when you get that big you don't please all the people all of the time........

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Gil obviously can't condone violence publicly, what other option did he have other say say walk away? Bit precious you lot.

I dunno, something along the lines of what Dimma is being praised for saying instead of spinning s**t? In some situations you need to stand up for yourself and your loved ones. Saying he should've walked away is completely out of touch with reality.

Can hardly say yeah belt the bloke. Good way to lose a few mill in sponsors $

Gillon is a simp and a cuck.

 

[jc12]

yeah, just sounds like usual night club drama. not unusual that they hung around arguing or talking to people afterwards. plus it means they weren't trying to make a run for it lol which is a good thing really

Unfortunately common sense is secondary to the witch hunt.

Its a big story as it is a big deal. We are on the brink of being the most successful team of all time. We are already in a situation where 5 of our top 10 players are already out -we just lost our best remaining player now for a month. The footy world are frothing at the mouth to see our dynasty era break & they can smell the blood in the water.

We have spent the past few years watching several of our players & coach make gossip controversy headlines - some are beat ups, but enough of them have enough facts to be a genuine story - Broad, Rance, Rances wife, Higgins, Higgins GF, Lynch, Cotchin, Cotchins wife, Vloss, Short, Chols pecker, Stack, CCJ, Dimma, Dimma's wife & now Bolton, Rioli and & Rioli's Girlfriend. Like it or not & perhaps not all entirely accurate - we are turning into an episode of "Playing for Keeps".

We have never needed our young bloods to step up more than we do this week. Ralphsmith, RCD, Naish - we really need these kids to shine and light a spark. Change the narrative, get us back on track. If we don't get that - we could possibly see us go 1-3 over the next month & find ourselves as low as 12 or 13th after round 14. We can't afford any more injuries.


If that is the case, we will definitely not be top 4 & be questionable to even be in the finals. There are a lot of teams "up and about this year" - Melbourne, Dogs, Cats, Power, Lions, Swans, Eagles - they alone make 7 teams I would bank on for the finals.. Our backs are firmly against the wall and we cannot rely on the old brigade to carry us through it as most of them are on the injury list. Last years effort was monumental - but compared to this years challenge, it will look like a dwarf. Many of great teams have met sudden ends like this - The great Lions 3-peat comes to mind...

Lets hope they can step it up - a successful year would certainly mark us as the greatest team of all time

.... on a side note, the idea we might pick up Stengle again in the mid season draft after he was caught redhanded with coke - its so crazy i am totally for it, I just waiting for us to sign Kenny Powers next

it’s not a big deal. It’s a minor deal. The fact that it keeps getting air is making it bigger then it needs to be.

Other than Broad in 2017 and the hub breach all those examples you posted are absolute media beat ups and would have got minimal media attention had it not been for the club involved. Some of them aren’t even stories.

 

[SA Tiger RVZ]

Hmmmmm AFL doubting their story could guarantee if they played for any other club they would have accepted the version of events and backed the club's investigation. Additionally, if it was any other club the media would be over the story by now and we would've been hearing how great the players were for standing up against inappropriate behaviour against women but no all we hear is that they were naughty boys who got in a fight! typical anti-Richmond media narrative.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Check what Dimma had to say about it. Didn't condone violence but didn't condone abandoning your loved ones to violence either.

 

[RJK Tiger]

The Rance and Higgins (gf) one was really the only beat up from what we know. The rest of them were legitimate stories and truthful.

They might not have all deserved to be in the sports pages - but they certainly had enough juice in them to find their way into the paper somewhere

The Bolton and Rioli one definitely is a story - a top 50 AFL player will miss a month of footy due to breaking his wrist in a nightclub scuffle? Even if they in your eyes "were not in the wrong" - its clearly a story people want to know about. If this was the NBA and it was Trea Young - of course this would be a massive story and a million podcaster would be reporting on it

Thats all news is - stories people want to know about

 

[CholEstrol]

Of course Gil thinks this, what a goody two shoes

Players 'need to walk away': Gill, Dimma not quite eye to eye

League CEO encourages players to avoid confrontation in public, defends crowd sizes

www.afl.com.au

No way if Gil was in a nightclub and his girlfriend got harassed he'd walk away.. he'd run away like Hussain Bolt.

 

[mauricerioli]

Dimma’s lived in the real world, not hidden away in the bunker at AFL house and polo tournaments.

Imagine getting your claim to fame by dating 20 men at the same time on prime time tv. Then having the hide to comment on how a man protects his woman

Had the exact same sentiments when I read this, get a clue you *******.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Heard a rumour that it was at YoYo's night club and it was full of AFL players at the time. Could it be that another AFL player made inappropriate advances to Rioli's girlfriend and who was involved in the fight and that the players do not want to rat on another AFL player?

That only happens at BBQ's

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Did he say anything about the victim while judging our blokes?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Gil couldn’t condone what the boys did even if he wanted to
He literally has millions of dollars worth of major sponsorship money to worry about and making a public stance that people would twist into him condoning violence is the type of thing that could put big money at risk

Could've just said which sponsors would agree with.
I support our players who support their partners who are subject to such indecent behavior.
