You mean like Stiffy did?

You guys are so full o shit

Is that the only reply Port fans are capable of? Stiffy did it! Stiffy did it!

 

[fairfooty]

Really great news for Hawthorn fans and fans of good news stories

This is just fantastic news. Absolutely favourite non-Crows player. Would love to see Roughey play AO again this year.

Your club pays to cover up rape.

Fascinating article about a coaching great

Some quotes

"Success needs no explanation, failure accepts no alibis"

"
When Yab arrived at Richmond, he was asked to have a photo taken with the famous tiger skin that adorned the Richmond Board table. He refused. It wasn’t a snub, he would often talk of the club as ‘your club’, rather than ‘our club’, which could be misconstrued by those who didn’t know the man.

In his mind, he had to earn the right to be a part of it. For him it wasn’t a matter of signing a contract, it was about building respect, which he had earn the right – pay the price."

While i believe no club is perfect in this area, given how arrogant and sanctimonious your lot are when it's one of our players like Talia/Stiffy/Laird /etc stuffing up, you can suck it up for a bit now the shoe is on the other foot.

I was critical of stiffy, so stop deflecting from the issue at hand.

 

[Roovolution]

Did banana woman ever do her "cultural education"?

Lots os talk about it - wouldn't be surprised if it never happened

Issue has been handled and neutralised. That's all that's important to them.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

John Butcher signed for Centrals? Man that golden era must seem a long time ago!

Your board is so full of sanctimonious one eyed crap it's actually sad. You don't want to face the facts and will make up any shit to try and avoid taking responsibility just like Gimpey. Pathetic club, pathetic supporters, pathetic culture. Go away flog.

I once had 1 mid strength then drove, I changed the volume level in my car in a multi-storey car park, lost control and wrote off three levels of cars. I panicked, ran up the freeway to Hahndorf, commandeering a bike on the way, and didn't report into the police for 12 hours. This type of thing happens all the time.

So "The Future" is at Centrals

Does the 'B' in Doctor B stand for Ben??
Sounds like something Ben Cousins has probably already done..

 

[footy4ever]

Who knows, he might have had 3 drinks and may have thought he was close to being over the limit. What he did was stupid but guessing his degree of sobriety is nothing but pure speculation.

Exactly. He's just shit at driving.

So where did Wantfrees hide Gimpey? In Dixon's beard?

 

[Elite Crow]

Heard Graham Cornes say that he crashed into multiple cars while looking for his phone. Spin spin spin Port working overtime to spin this. Happens all the time you know you innocently reach for your phone under the seat in a 40 or 50kmh zone and accidentally write off a few cars. Happens all the time. Then you suddenly find yourself doing the bolt to Grange. Was drinking just before the incident but not smashed. Important difference. Alcohol played no part in the crash or the poor decisions afterwards. Surely no one is dumb enough to believe that. Alcohol is usually behind incidents like this and stupid decisions like leaving the scene of an accident. Pathetic.

Graham is senile, I don't know why they give him airtime.

 

[Don Muraco]

Did banana woman ever do her "cultural education"?

She taught Impey how to drive

 

[jenny61_99]

Sounds like some rubbish to me.

Do you have an understanding of death and mourning within an indigenous family?

 

[tinman]

17km
Across the city
Saturday night
And no one spotted him

And you believe that?

After crashing into those cars, surely if he walked he would have bumped into someone!!

 

[jenny61_99]

What absolute BS.

I lost my Dad suddenly when I was 18. His grief/loss/toll on him personally isn't any greater than a non-Indigenous person like me.

Depends on your connection and spirituality. It was horrendous on you. It is horrendous on all of us. But death is treated quite differently in various cultures. Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

 

[Brentmeister]

Do you have an understanding of death and mourning within an indigenous family?

It's extremely arrogant and insensitive to say one race mourns death more than another. It's a massive cop out too.

 

[jenny61_99]

I get that everyone loves to have a go at Port, and certainly their handling of this (despite a certain radio station saying otherwise) has been pretty poor (and they deserve much shit). But we've had similarly bad stories in our history over the years... enough to know this could happen to any Club given the age/money/maturity of all players. Reckon it's a bit tough to be attacking the young lad so vehemently. He made a shocking error of judgement (as did his team mates for allowing him to drive - and I'm sure ALL of us over the years), but geez, he doesn't need to be hung drawn and quartered because of it.

Not MORE, differently.

You sound completely innocent to me. Can't see any problems with your actions.

Reckon if you read properly most of the criticism is aimed at how Port have spun and covered this up.

There's been a lot aimed at the lad as well.
