Fremantle FC is an absolute shit stain of a football club. Their treatment of that young pregnant lady is deplorable and Ross should be sacked tomorrow.

The CEO should be sacked. The president should step aside.

Pathetic club.
After reading he story in the Herald Sun now, surely this story won’t go away right? I mean, Freo tried to say the comments were about her “clothing” which is clearly a lie now.

Salivating over a pregnant woman over her breasts to the point she was the butt of jokes and had to leave the job is pretty much the most obvious case of sexual harassment you could hear of.

You’d think Ross would have to go now the details have come out.

Yet remember how badly the media slammed Riewoldt for being robust with a female employee then apologising.

This guy has used his position and standing to publicly pressure her into relations in front of pretty much the entire workplace.

Yep agree.

And I mean Lethlean lost his job for a CONSENSUAL affair.... that shows how seriously these issues are taken in the #metoo environment.

You’d have to think Ross and the CEO would go at a minimum. Likely anyone at the AFL too who signed off on the hush money.

Reckon this story will grow legs in the coming days. People are losing their jobs around the world for far less at the moment so the AFL will have to show they are in step. You can only sweep things under the rug for so long.

Do Geelong change the name of their stadium every 3 years just for the feck of it ?
I hate this sponsor named stadium crap. Why can´t we just keep traditional names like most European / British football clubs do ?
Grounds like clubs have history and aura´s about them. Imagine trying to explain to your grandkids in 20 years time that day at Kardinia Park or was
it Skilled or GMB whatever the hell it is now ?
I think you need to follow the soccer in England a little more then come back to edit this statement.

GWS only managed 32 points and four goals in the match at Geelong; that's dreadful. There have been some low scores so far this year.
GWS obviously used our scoring play book.

The low scoring is a bit of a concern......I mentioned last week that 2 rounds ago was the lowest round scores since 1996.

I thought BT’s comments about the time taken to throw the ball up causing heavier congestion was pretty astute.

Stupid rule ..not complicated you throw the ball up if two ruckman go up from one team , free kick payed
play on..

Coaches hijacked the game bringing extra numbers around the ball , weak minded coaches follow the
higher profile ones..could you imagine you stationed 3 players in the goal square on their own , their opponents
would man them up , oh gee .

I know GWS have a lot of injuries however last nights heavy defeat against an undermanned & young Cats team is unacceptable. They also underachieved in the past two years. They should be winning flags with the amount of talent on their list. As soon as the players who re-signed for expected flags realise they are that far off it they’ll leave. Cameron would be under the pump.

Yes, they might do, but probably not to come to club equally far off one unfortunately :(
