No Oppo Supporters 2024 AFL General Discussion

[TheGoatBaron]

Michael Christian on SEN talking about his horse in the Everest somehow started talking about Heeney , saying he had to look at the act and not worry where he could be in the Brownlow , lets hope Bella Nipotina runs last

He should be sacked

I don't think you understand what private means in the context of events. This was NOT accessible to the public. Stop trying to say the public could be there. If we governed this world with what COULD happen nothing would or should be allowed.

The skit in question was done AFTER staff left the venue. It was players only in the room. That has been widely reported so please don't misrepresent there could have been anyone other than players there, because there weren't. It was 1 bartender that wants his/her 15 minutes of fame, nothing more, nothing less. Do I think anything of the skit in question? No, I don't care for it and it's not something I would do. This continuous attempts at trying to "get" people is tiring. Save it for the actual things people should be pulled up on.

Again, no one can answer why players are getting fined and/or suspended for something that 1 person (allegedly) found offensive, but players can pass out at a public venue and be carried out due to coke and alcohol and then transported to the emergency room and not 1 thing is done. Yet Toby Greene (take the hatred for him out) is fined $20k for literally doing nothing. Make it make sense.

I don't profess to know all the details, nor can any of us.

But I agree that its become absurd when a bloke can get a $20,000 fine for "doing nothing" (which apparently now is a sin in its own right), when the AFL turns a completely blind eye to the Stengle-type scenarios.

To me, it just reeks of selective big-corporate moral posturing.

I'm no Toby Greene fan, but I imagine he'd be absolutely fuming.

Anyway, there'll be a diverse range of views on this one - as is already evidenced. And I do respect the range of views.

Absolutely.

I expect the AFLPA to come out when the dust settles. Think what you want about Toby (I HATE things he does on the field) but no one can with a straight face say he should be sanctioned for, nothing.

None of this actually addresses my post.

Venue staff were/could have been there. Members of the public could walk in or by, again, as I said, if there wasn't security at the door.

Behaviour should absolutely be judged on what COULD reasonably happen.

My point about staff "having been" present (I misrepresented nothing) was that it was clearly a work related function and continued being a work related function even if the remaining attendees were players who work together.

Also, who is the bartender?

 

[ShireSwan]

Toby should tell the AFL to stick their fine up their arse.
Same way Hinkley should have too.

AFL turning into a bunch of Hillsong happy clappers.

You must get outraged a lot.

[Heeney2Franklin]

Someone surely by now has leaked the name of the venue.

Deserves to go out of business

Well thought out response.

If you can demonstrate the outrage I've displayed in my posting on this, feel free.

Certainly seems to be people running straight to outrage, but it isn't me.

I must be the only person who thinks the whole mad monday dress-up thing is just lame and not even that funny to begin with.

Have a dress up fun day as a fun way to cebrate. Can do that without being a disrespectful campaigner

You laugh for about 3 seconds, and then you are stuck dressed as a schoolgirl or some other stupid costume all day.

But there seems to be a lot of people who think it is the height of comedy.

Or maybe do it at someone's house with people you know are up for / comfortable with anything. You're still probably a d***head but at least no-one else has to put up with you.

Pretty much. Don't break a venue's TOS and violate your workplace's COC. Do that shit at home

 

[caesar88]

I just can't fathom equating 'rape' and 'funny' in the same thought or sentence.

That's complete bonkers shit to me.

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly, I'm also inclined to believe that this is a symptom of the WOKE MIND VIRUS!!

Should hear what he thinks of you

Many local clubs have given it the arse now , it's too risky in the wokeage

 

[KingV23]

They should put on Brisbane guernseys and dress as premiership players.

 

[Bloods86]

Feel free to pass it on.

Dressing/acting as premiership players is cultural appropriation for most of our guys.

Most clubs hate it now. I know a couple of people on the administration side of things and they absolutely dread the whole thing coming up each year.

You would have noticed that most clubs arrange private rooms nowadays but clubs know they’re just one piece of phone video footage away from a PR disaster.

 

[bedford]

Just got my membership email , premiership club up to $353 ! should be called runners up club
