To be fair, the only negative press Stringer received at Essendon is his fitness and form.

Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong and Sydney. One of those 4 will pick him up IMO. Hopefully it's not Essendon.

Some sources say it's a club-wide issue so it may not just be Smith implicated in these allegations. But yeah his career is done.

You mean ever? I doubt it. I believe he'll play at some point this year, but it doesn't look good longterm unless his issues are addressed now.

If the reports of Collingwood withdrawing their offer are true, then I doubt that very much. What teammate honestly wants continuous bad press especially if it's so avoidable? Collingwood are on a 4 game winning streak and they're under pressure because someone only thinks for himself. De Goey...

Yeah optics, branding and "bad look" is exactly the problem because those things impact his teammates who aren't doing what he does. He has no regard for how it impacts them. It's a lack of self-awareness and maturity. Also, something doesn't have to be illegal by Australian Law for it to be...

I have zero sympathy for him. As a player of the Collingwood Football Club (and an AFL player), there's an expectation that he adheres to conduct that doesn't negatively impact his club and teammates. This is not tennis or any other individual sport where he only hurts his own brand. He has...

How dumb is he? I can't see Collingwood putting up with him anymore.

I'm certainly not saying what Melksham did is right, but May was suspended for drinking under concussion protocols. It's up to Melbourne to make that decision and they've decided against it. It's pointless for us to advocate for a fringe player like Melksham to be suspended given he is probably...

What did May expect after saying something like that though? I'm not condoning Melksham's behaviour as he's in the wrong too, but you don't say something like that to a teammate. It's not surprising he was floored. It's not the first time he had a fight with a teammate after drinking so it's a...

Well I can disregard your opinion

Our best season was 2013. We were 2nd on the ladder with a percentage of 131 and a record of 13-3 heading into round 18 before we were told we weren't playing finals that year. Our defence was solid in 2014, but we weren't that great. If you're looking at our competitive EF vs North, they were...

I'm not trying to group atheists into the same category. I'm just stating what typical left western atheists believe and where their sense of morality comes from. I thought it was pretty obvious that I was referring to western left atheists given the context of my original posts. Unless you...

See this is the problem with some atheists. Of course you have your own ideologies and practices. Ideology - a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy. Practice - the actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as...

First of all, Muslims deal with far more discrimination than christians do so let's not start with that. Second of all, Muslims have no influence on policy makers, which makes Muslims less of a threat to the left. Who has more power to change where a table goes in a home. A spouse or a guest...

Disagreeing with something isn't discrimination. Zreika didn't treat anyone differently on the field or off the field.

I'd also prefer for King to stay at Gold Coast. Sure he'd be a nice addition to the side, but it's better for the competition that Gold Coast have someone like him stick with them. Plus I'm hesitant to spend that much capital on a single player.

Are you seriously equating this with Essendon 2010s?

Not good to hear. 2020 has been a tough year. Hope he recovers.

His ability to perform in big games against quality opposition isn't the issue at all. He's already proven himself. The main problem is his body. Will it hold up? I really hope so.

Yep. Unless Chol says he is being treated differently because of his race, there's absolutely no need to bring race into it. I know Hugh's intention was to "speak up for the minority", but that harms race-related discussions us people of colour have when non-black people basically dictate when...

That Hugh Riminton guy really had to bring up his race when race has nothing to do with it. Did Chol say that? Should have asked Chol for his opinion first before insinuating it. People like him need to stop taking offence on behalf of people of colour and start listening to them.

Oh the irony coming from a West Coast fan...

TBH, I think it was just a slip from Bruce. I don't think he was downplaying the serious nature of De Goey's charges. Poor choice of wording, but I understood it to mean that he had a disrupted season because everything else he said was related to his on-field performance

Yes it's certainly a De Goey issue, but off-field incidents seem to be common at Collingwood. Swan, Shaw, Tarrant, Johnson, Wellingham, Stephenson, Didak, Beams, Sidebottom, Lumumba (racism allegations), De Goey, Sidebottom's COVID breach, Thomas, Sam Murray, Lachlan Keefe, Brayden Sier. That's...

I'm not only speaking about this particular incident, but there's clearly something wrong with the amount of things happening at Collingwood. De Goey has had many previous issues throughout his career.

Innocent until proven guilty, but Collingwood have a shocking record with off-field incidents. Considering De Goey has had some previous issues, Collingwood may want to consider reviewing their character assessment protocols. Horrible week for Collingwood.

Collingwood cannot catch a break with their players

Not really. You cannot seriously be thinking that Essendon somehow has the DHHS in their pocket in the middle of a pandemic. McKenna's breaches were determined to be minor. Still idiotic for Steele to do what he did after all of that.

How dumb can they be? Literally only a week after the Conor McKenna debacle.
