I hope it's not true for his sake and give him the benefit of the doubt because I don't know yet.

What I'm critical of is I think that irrespective if it's true or not it irks me to see people happily make light of a situation that isn't confirmed one way or another yet.

People are making fun of those hanging a kid, dousing him in gas and setting him a light for a story on reddit.
 
As I said on the forum earlier,I have an autistic daughter who was badly bullied. I have first had experience on what they can do to a child. The kids involved were just that, kids, who were regretful and learned from their mistake. I am happy to say my daughter is friends with one of them now, 13 years later.

This holier than thou attitude is intolerable for a parent whose child has ACTUALLY been bullied.

People need to give it a *en rest.
I agree.

.He's our player now

Edit: If he did do what is alleged and he doesn't regret it, it will show a character flaw and he will be out on his arse very quickly.

This talk about him has actually turned into internet bullying.
Yep we all have been picked on at one stage of our life. But as you mature and leave highschool those blokes who were immature and ****heads tend to grow up and you actually can be civil and even be there mates.

Now I just get treated shit by my boss it’s awesome 😂😆

I didn't wanna make this public but the guys on the PM thread know.

So I've got some background on the bullying claims... my cousin teaches at a south east high school and he witnessed the bullying. It's not the only incident though.

They had a footy clinic and they had the pies boys come down. They knew Ariel was in the champs so they had him do some one on one marking with Murphy. Murphy's taken it pretty casual and he's been outmarked. So they go again and Murphy takes it more seriously and again is beaten. He's angry now. Orders another go. Gets beaten again. At this point Murphy's gone to bump into him front on but then feigned for contact, ducked into and Ariel has ended up smashig into his head and making him groggy.

The pies guys had to drag him off the ground and into a car. He was yelling all kinds of expletitives and calling him a Bully.

Apparently the drinking stuff purely comes from the fact he did some training at Casey. He was ok it was more he had to drive another dees player home who had too many post training with one of the coaches.
 
Getting back to our selections

I am surprised we took 5, but three mids a defender and a high forward.

We wont know what we have, hell we dont even know what Van Es, Hotton and Keeler can do, but it seems a pretty good selection
Young mids
Owens
Pou
Windy
Ronnie

Taken this year
Dow
Henry
Wilson
Hastie
Garcia
 
Did it for 3 years, yeah don't think there's much remorse there. Good to see the most vocal ones have been compelled to make a case for themselves without being directly quoted though - says enough and will do me just fine.

Now onto the PSD tomorrow, would like us to go after more mids if we can. Maybe a backup ruck we were rumoured to fill the list with.

Here's the drinking one.
Buying drinks for underage kids.
 
From a football perspective. The Fox Footy rankings had Schoenmaker ranked as pick 24 in the draft.

They rated him, and they weren’t alone. Most good judges had him being drafted around picks 20-26.

Saints drafted him at pick 62.

So clearly, there were reasons why clubs didn’t draft the lad. Whatever those reasons were.

But he wasn’t alone, there were several fancied players drafted very late such as Ollie Murphy, George Stevens and Archie Roberts. So it happens.

A lot a champions get drafted late. Dane Swan pick 58, James Hird pick 79, Alistair Lynch pick 50, James Sicily pick 56, to name a few.

Hopefully we will look back and see the Schoenmaker selection as an inspired one.
 
I don’t really think we can ever say we have nailed a draft until we’ve seen them at afl level

No doubt we all thought we’d nailed the drafts in 2013 and 14

Countless other picks have been hailed as steals only to amount to nothing

Let’s see how it plays out
Why Essendon do. They have won 20 trade periods and 20 drafts and haven't won a final yet.

The stuff on Diodoro over the two nights was seriously gobsmaking.

His selections have ensured they figuratively play with 17 on the field.

Drinking their own bathwater is an understatement

Everyone make Murphy groggy and he has a habit of calling 18 y.o's a bully (see Hammer for details)

We had an Indian girl at our high school who had polio and walked with a limp and me and my dickhead mates took the piss out of her.

A lot of guys do dumb immature stuff at that age but you grow out of it when you become more sensible and mature.

Was her name Eileen?

I couldnt be more happy about with our draft haul Wilson, Collard, Hastie, Garcia and Shoenmakers all have speed, are good overhead and have points of difference. Although if Im honest I dont know a lot about Garcia. His AFL profile lists him as a quick midfielder so thats a good start I guess. I think past players like Gresham, Billings and Coffield will be forgotten fairly quickly.

With regards to Arie's alleged discretion - an immature teenage kid does something he no doubt regrets - who would have thought? If any of you judging him didnt make mistakes in your younger years you didnt live. Its what you learn from them and do about it that is the test of maturity. Im sure he will be fine...

Exactly, whether it’s true or not is another matter.
