Regarding today’s abuse of a female afl accredited media representative, just taking photos at an open training session.
Caro will no doubt give this legs, Edmonds already has.
Domestic Violence groups will come out, the AFLW.
No doubt.
He has caused the cats about half a dozen issues this year from sniffing to all the other stuff.
Footscray supporters will be laughing their heads off , told you so.
The boy is troubled

Was it anything homophobic, racist, Islamaphobic or Anti-Semetic??
If it was just threatening her and making her feel unsafe for just doing her job then probably nothing to see here.
If it was anything from the top line though then look out, this will be a 100 page thread in no time.

 

[Delisted]

Second time he has gone after this photographer.

She should take pictures of him with Tammy Harbrow and post them on social media instead.

He'd love that.

Somebody better tell them then, because they’ve spent the entire season throwing tantrums about him.

Anything against women will be in that top list.
The AFL will do anything to protect women with the AFLW program crucial to their social inclusion kpi’s

You missed misogynistic

 

[SC_Power]

This story deserves what a response like you or I would get.

A) not in the media
B) told to puck off
C) take twice as many photos
D) all of the above

Are you getting a feeling of dread regarding his negative impact
It’s getting to be a Phil Carmen reincarnation with this bloke.
Brilliant footballer but total moron and disrupter

Personally I can hardly type I’m so terrified

Your club standards are dropping dramatically.
Tyson last year allegedly od’ing but getting a pass
The issue we can’t mention being swept under the carpet.
Bailey consistently this year, including the use of illicit drugs.
Women being the subject of abuse or allegedly worse with 2 players!

What the hells going on down there?

 

[Maddo11]

Pretty gross that he's gone after his photographer twice now, with another journo popping up on Twitter saying he had a few incidents at the dogs for similar things that were swept under the rug.

Obviously has mental issues but no excuse to abuse a photographer who's only crime was taking photos where and when they were asked to.

No idea he had history with allegedly abusing women at the Dogs.
Mental issues count for some issues, such as leading to escapism through drugs to cope
But repeatedly attacking women is inherently a deeper issue surfacing, wether straight or in an alternate state of mind

 

[Blues_Man]

Smith once again showing what a absolute head case he is, but he's good at football, so the Cats are happy with his antics. If it was a less prominent player he would be suspended by the club long before this incident.

 

[JackFlash]

It might need an immediate apology or disciplinary action? It was an open training session, so i would imagine it was open slather for the photographers. Smith is news, the photographer isn't there to take happy snaps of Jed Bews

running laps! Apologies all round from Smith or miss a week. His antics are getting tiresome.

This highlights the hypocrisy of the Cats as a club. Imagine if this was ginnivan you would be apoplectic with outrage

 

[mumblingpie]

I don’t get the hate, if anything i actually think his a breath of fresh air, might talk a bit of shit but he backs it up where it matters, on the ground. Media will cream themselves if he wins the Brownlow.

They listed someone for 10 weeks on the injury list that had zero chance of playing this year.
Smith and his problems including today’s.
Any decent journalist will start probing and chase
Enter Caro!

 

[Maddo11]

You missed misogynistic

I think that might have been his point? That misogyny doesn't get the big clicks like the others do?

Or maybe he's just a moron

Genuine question, what do you think he should have been suspended for ‘long before this incident’?

The three things he’d previously made headlines for were giving the bird to Crows fans abusing Dangerfield post-game, bouncing the ball into Impey’s head and his Insta response to someone making a ‘nose beers’ joke.

Do you think any of those are worthy of a suspension? I assume you also want Ginnivan / Watson / Reid and other suspended for giving the bird to the crowd, Daicos suspended for dropping the f-bomb on live tv etc?

Please,
He has verbally attacked a woman just doing her job.
Repeated the dose in one setting by turning around to have another go.
Try that tomorrow at your workplace place, and let me know what an instant dismissal feels like

Be interesting to know what else has been brushed under the rug, considering the CEO of the AFL felt compelled to drive to his house to give him a pep talk.

I have no doubt that every club in the league brushes player behaviour under the rug. I also don’t have an issue with that, and believe we as footy fans only need to know about things if they overstep the mark of acceptable or legal behaviour.

EDIT: I know a few mid-20s women who hang out in AFL circles and I have heard plenty of stories about players, including about a player still in this year’s finals sending unsolicited dick pics to random women on Instagram.

Nah, he only 'backs it up on the field' because we're playing a sanitiised game and you can't run through ponces like him any more
The bloke would have lasted five minutes in the game a generation ago
