Mad Monday

[Lando_]

Is the future of mad Mondays in doubt after Geelongs decision? Costumes are out after officials not thrilled. Its probably only a matter of time you'd think.

Geelong cancel future Mad Monday celebrations

Geelong have taken action after the Mad Monday celebrations.

Smith ruined it for everyone, this guy has been more trouble than his worth.

Fine with this move personally. I thought there were some inspired ones this year and a couple of pretty ordinary/tone deaf ones.

They'll probably keep having the day, just have it at someone's house and leave your phones at the door.

Just has to be indoors from now on

Media are always on the hunt for a story. Geelong were playing into it as it got good PR, but now that it's got bad PR time to just have it more private like most of the rest of the teams and keep off social media

No big deal

Can't blame the media in this situation --- Bailey Smith posted the images himself to 416,000 people on Instagram.

It doesn't take a journalist to follow Baz on Instagram.

I will find a way to rip on Geelong for pretty much anything. Anything!

This isn't one of them.

Let the boys dress up.

Geelong's get posted by media every year. It's renowned as the most entertaining so journos are always there.

comment on his IG on the Caro pic?

The cotton on stuff was funny as

Bloke is a wild media distraction

 

[bzparkes]

I daresay if Smith left his phone at home, this would be a non-issue.

Instead, the Muppet posted it directly to the terminally online and offended, so the logical outcome took place.

Well done Bailey. Took you one offseason to ruin your club's Mad Monday tradition.

Your teammates will be stoked.

Yeah, this, pretty much. I hasten to add though, whether there's pictures and media or not, it'd be good for the costumes and actions to be fresh and edgy without resorting to the tired old homophobic cliches that have been going on for decades. Time to move on from that crap. Loved the Cotton On/Rancher stuff, that was classic (part of me wonders if those ones didn't offend Swann and AFL House more than the rest of us). Kneecap, yeah got to say I personally liked it, but probably wouldn't have done it myself, if I were in their position.

The criticism of Holmes (Caroline Wilson) and Close (Catman) I find a little more difficult to understand... the narrative of "This is what they were worried about, when they should have been concentrating on the grand final" is just rubbish. They found time to go with the retirement village angle in 2022 and probably had a backup plan in place, if they hadn't won the flag.

But so be it. Private party at one of the acreages it is.

Are you being deliberately daft, mate?

It's not the costumes that have caused this reaction; it's Baz's social media posts. The fact that the Cats Mad Monday is typically attended by journalists makes it even more astonishing that no one at the club or even the players' manager decided to take his phone away from him before he got on the beers.

 

[STPer18]

Next year will be at Cameron's farm. No journos and Smith's phone has the wifi turned off. No problemo.

 

[Plugger46]

Congratulations to Mitch Brown on his bravery this year however he's starting to make everything an issue or feel offended easily.

The other thing is if a female said what Smith said with the captions about Caro no one would beat an eye lid. Double standards?

I also find it incredibly stupid that the didn't like Brad close having face paint. If you have a bad week or day at work as a average person does that mean you can't go out the next day?

Pfft world is getting soft and woke

Nope. Just letting a few other posters in here know the pics were up already, and that one that seems to have created alot of the stir were the cotton on pics.

No doubt even without Baz's comments these created enough uproar by themselves.

What do you think that word means, mate?

 

[Dark Eagle 9]

Are they going to pass a law that your not allowed to take the piss out of gay men or not?

 

[Xtreme]

Every club should dress up like they're going to the brownlow like they are dressed up as the Monopoly man - top hat and cane!

 

[Altum Volantes]

Bans and big fines incoming no doubt!

This horrendous behaviour must be stamped out!

 

[Plugger46]

What do you think that word means, mate?

Many people have many different views on that word

What does the word mean, mate?

If you are using a word, it is a safe assumption you know what it means.

Or are you just parroting what you've heard elsewhere, and hoping that it fits the context. You're acting like Gretchen Weiners right now.

I'm not going to get baited online and get a ban. Once again I'm not here to offend anyone just here having a discussion on point of views.

So you’ve used a word, but don’t know the words definition.

If you're going to claim that something is "woke", at least back up your claim, mate.

I'm assuming you're confused because you keep asking me. All good

Use Google and it'll give you the answer you so much seem to desire
