Opinion 2018 Non-Crows Discussion Thread

Sure, if she had issues with him personally that is a valid reason for feeling uncomfortable around him.

I feel that asking things like 'why not wait' though or saying that it is manners to wait implies that the act of simply using an available toilet when you need to go is wrong.

If it is just Kochie that made her uncomfortable would she have been fine for any other man to come in to pee?

Bolded is my point
The rest - Don't know
It was Koch
She said she got a fright
She locked the door
She waited for him to leave

Draw whatever conclusion you like but we have all worked where there are your slimey creepy men ( talking from a woman's perspective ) . I take from this instance where there were no ladies toilets open, Sam asked where she should go - was told "use the men's " and he promptly followed her in.

Personally not a fan of glimpsing the member of any men I worked with over the years ....

Typical St Kilda ......they've always operated under the "Star" system ....this is why they've never been successful ...and why you can't have players / player managers hold our club to ransom (Lever)

Silly St Kilda. When you're a Vic club most of that money is supposed to come from being an 'ambassador', or getting media gigs. You're not supposed to include it in the cap lol.

No, i'd probably be traumatised if a saw a breast-penis.



So... she was using a bathroom but didn't lock the cubicle?

I'm no prude, but i generally lock the door when I'm called to serve my country

Me too
Maybe she was on her way out of the cubicle when she realized he was there

Don't know

 

[subaru]

So you people prefer to discuss toilet arrangements than football issues

No
Just how this behaviour in this instance, of not respecting a co workers privacy permeates from the top !
After all - he's not a "monk" !

Ah St Kilda

You're shit

This was fascinating to listen to - my favourite bits:
1. 10 players accounted for 64% of the salary cap.
2. Within a few days of starting he was asked to sort out a likely 500k overspend on the 2011 salary cap - IN AUGUST 2011 the boss asked him to sort out a 500k overspend in 2011!!!!!
3. They managed to defer 201 payments to get under the cap but in 2013 they were still paying agreed 2011 payments to players.

Speaking for most men, neither are we.

It's actually not that common either and almost non-existent outside of being at the urinal together.

Like many clubs (Trigg) .....too afraid of Supporter backlash, if the club said NO to a star player, who would then leave

Interesting that the AFL is also ULTRA - CONCERNED at St Kilda's ability to extricate itself from it's massive debt ......swapping club bases every few years over the last 25 years has shown how poorly run they are .....what they need to recruit is :

it should be eyes straight ahead at the urinal

I like when bars have little TVs at the urinal so you can keep watching the game while you pee.

 

[jenny61_99]

Only play 3 sets with the same prize money

Is that right? From an article last year:

Top-earning Serena Williams has pocketed some $81.7 million in prize money since the start of her career, during which she has claimed a record 39 grand slam titles.

The highest-paid male tennis professional, Novak Djokovic, has taken home $108.8 million but won only 12 grand slam titles.

I remember using the parent's room in Ethihad when it first opened... was so impressed they had the game on in the rooms where you were feeding bub. So different to the Gabba where you had to change your kid on the bathroom floor and there was no privacy options for feeding.

Nice little bit of baiting from Kochie here

Allegedly Koch turned to the protesters and told them to do their homework.

It’s changed since their career started.
4 million each for the aus open

You mean you don't all get together with rulers every week ?

I'm shocked

Just looking at the disparity between the two.... An average of $2million per match won for the woman to $9million for the guy... I'd say the need for equal pay was overdue. Having said that... I think it should be on # of games played.

 

[crowded house]

Like I said, you wont hear about it for a number of reasons.

I get what you are saying. But it is wrong. All evidence shows that domestic violence is primarily violence against women by men. This also makes sense from a socialogical/paychological standpoint where men are more likely to be physical and aggressive and chose more lethal/dangerous methods of harm. Female on male violence is likely under reported, but it’s no where near the level of male on female or even male on male violence. Domestic violence KILLs one woman a week in Australia. There is no amount of hidden female on male violence that could even compare to that.

Separate the womens and mens tour and I know where the paying public and sponsors are going to spend the money.

Their CEO is Peter Summers, a Chartered Accountant who's been President for 5 years, and was on the board for 5 years before that.

Maybe they need a new board, because the old one has taken them nowhere?

The Fall with Gillian Anderson is a fantastic show where she is on the money regarding violence against women
This was my favourite ...


"A woman, I forget who, once asked a male friend why men felt threatened by women. He replied that they were afraid that women might laugh at them. When she asked a group of women why women felt threatened by men, they said, 'We're afraid they might kill us.'"

It's well known that Accountants in general are the worse business owners ......it's like Lawyers running football clubs (Bulldogs) .......there's more than just numbers & process to successful businesses

To be honest, even though I do dislike some of them, Business Bankers make good CEO.
