The only gay ex-Pies player I know of has exactly this view. He wasn't in the closet with friends and family but didn't want to go through the media circus and come out publicly. He had no problem with support from the club or teammates, it was purely the amount of hassle the media would create...
I wouldn't have posted it at all, to be fair. My partner did the right thing not telling me as well as it was at least 2 hours before the operation was carried out. Internet points aren't worth stuffing up an actual police op.
Not a gag. I was genuinely unsure if the actual charge had been made public.
Annoyingly my partner had been told this was going to happen at 9.30 this morning and didn't tell me. The first and probably only time I would've had a scoop on anything.
Can't have been Mark Stevens. He never leaves his camouflage hideout at Collingwood's Olympic Park training ground.
I mean, it really stands out against the backdrop of the Swan Street traffic, but no one's got the heart to tell him.
So it would presumably surprise you to learn that 50% of the current senior coaches never played in a VFL/AFL premiership, including the winners of the last 4 flags?
He's been a good servant of the club but he's a depth player only at this stage of his career with precious little time left. If he can get a promise of more game time from another club he should take it and I should think we'd gladly accept whatever we could get for him.
Yes, I like how everyone's treating the online piece as absolute truth, despite the previous edition of the same blog claiming that Colin Sylvia was about to be named as Essendon's last top up player.
You'll just have to get your news from one of those struggling, underground, non-mainstream, hard-to-find, amazing-they're-still-allowed-to-exist-in-this-leftist-only-society News Corp publications and media outlets.
You remind me of Bolt himself: "I'm being silenced!" he screams from his...
Hey, it could turn out to actually be a great day for journalism in this country if this article is right:

On further reflection this is serious, so I propose that the players are suspended for 44 games in total to be divided amongst them.
Provisional breakdown:
Armstrong - 22 games
Keeffe - 22 games
Cloke and Swan each to serve half of the remaining.
What were the odds that a Caroline Wilson article concerning a Richmond player screwing up big time would somehow see Collingwood players get thrown into the mix? I simply can't believe it. :drunk:
My favourite part of the conspiracy is when the shadowy figures at Fox Footy, knowing that a brave band of footy forum warriors is onto them, ensure that there are at least 4 or 5 score reviews in Collingwood's next game, with all decisions going against the Pies.
Good thing we're all too smart...
Preposterous. It's clear that the AFL (or Eddie, which is the same thing, am I right?) phoned Fox immediately after seeing the first review and ordered them to blur it so that the video ump could believably call it a goal. Luckily, Fox have special 'Collingwood advantaging' software that can...
We can now put this one to rest.
Great news for the Pies, even better news for Elliott - he's no longer linked with Richmond!
