Did that employee work for one of the two AFL clubs in WA? If so, I think I know who you are talking about PR. That person has some interesting story about some of the WA lads.

Yes, I think she worked at both. One was permanent and the other a short stint.

my ex fiance ran into him at the old Heaven nightclub. She was on the dance floor and refused his advances. He even trotted out the old "do you know who i am" line on her.
She replied "yes i do and im still not interested" which he totally ignored and proceeded to dance very close with her. When she tried to get away he grabbed her and she fell over and he pretended to bonk her on the floor much to the amusement of a few of his mates (who were also Port players... i was at the bar at the time). When i went back to my ex she was very upset and i saw Hueskes and a few other Port boys just leaving the club. The next season he was gone which didnt surprise me considering how much of a dick he is.

He's an absolute dog of a bloke.

can honestly say that,despite his football ability, i wish that he'd never played for us. his off field antics totally erased any good he ever did on the field in my view.

Indeed.

If the rumours about Adam are half true he would make the current Collingwood and St Kilda scandals seem like a tea party.

for mine the thing is, even if he did, he's not alone there

sadly most of these issues relate to sex(uality), power & ego, and manifest themselves as assaults, insults, group sex, adultery mostly fuelled by alcohol.

there really are a lot of damaged women out there thanks to some footballers.
sadly, some other women are just as damaged and look for more grief too.

as was said to 2 x St Kilda players a few years back, why didn't you just tell the girls when the moment was over "thanks, it was a lovely night, lets go into the kitchen have a coffee and then call you a cab and i'll say hello next time we cross paths at a club or something". thats surely how most of us here would behave i'd assume. (?)

instead, they swapped rooms, damaged the girls, then_immediately_after shooting their they tell them "we're going to play xbox F*** off and get your own way home"

so its rough to single out this one guy. i can't say things re him cos i'd sink an ex of his. i think we all know someone who knows someone in a small town right

i'd been told that there was 20 either side of 220 sexual relationships by the age of 22. i mean that staggers. i thought i "could pull" when i were younger. it seems only myself when compared to that. somewhere in there, and also learned at the feet of those 10 years older than him too by the way-

somewhere something happens to the attitude of some of these footballers (and rugby players) where they lose respect for people, typically women (ahem- in most instances) and they are just meat to them. and thats a sad place to be as a human being

granted the game is more professional now, but as a parent with a talented son my wife and i really have to consider do i want him spending time with peers at say the local football club say?

Do we think the noxious AFL footballer learns behaviour, and got his positive reinforcement as a 20yr old rookie at pre-season camp, or did it come as a 19yr old on the Bali football trip? (again as an example)

it takes a very special person to rise above that and be disciplined and monogomous and treat the fans- many who are utter oi oi's or idiots such as myself- with the utmost respect. that takes a great character

this is another reason why when we see long term positive behavours and leadership by people like Salopek, Rodan, Kane Cornes and Warren Tredrea (to the best of my knowledge here) it is so impressive and important to t emoral fabric of a club.

its another reason clubs simply have to remove cancers that appear in their list, even if they are great players.

id certainly like Fevola at FF for us, but the example and learned behaviours are something our club should want to avoid at all costs.

do higher personal behavioural standards (generally) make for a better performing team? i don't actually know and probably not. i guess it brings the question, what do we support and why do we support them? did we all love PAFC because we were a team of champion players, or a champion team? i loved the club for the latter.
for similar reasons i detest the crows because of the attitude of the administrators there, not the players as it was once upon a time.

so with regards to Hueskas, well, excellent player, the club overall was probably better without him in the end, and probably a few wives happier he wasn't spending time with their husbands. (not ignoring the fact he was not the only type person in our team then/ now)

as always, its not about what HE did or didn't do yesterday, its about what_I_do tomorrow that matters. He may have come circle and be a better person than me and many of us. I hope he has. I know he was in a pretty bad place. A lot of damaging behaviours in there. If he has straightened his life out and is giving back to the world then he is a better person than me I guess.
