You hit the nail on the head - "ex-player buffoonery"... Just because they may have been good footballers, doesn't make them good commentators. Many ( especially BT) are drunk on their own bathwater ( still )..
If you think you can rationalize social media bullying, harassment and fictionalizing the lives of AFL players and their wives, then you are sadly mistaken. Maybe you should barrack for Collingwood.
I've seen some awful crap on our FB page. I ended up stopping my follow on it.
There's something about social media turning weak minded people into complete and utter d!ckheads..
