News AFL integrity investigating phone use by JDG & Howe

[Rorzza]

I'm not going to bother and watch the replay but did they use the phones or simple take the phones from the charger to put in their footy kits. OMG.

Yes, but the players should also know the rules. Its not primary school.

But it IS “primary school”!
AFL players are coddled from the time they show promise at junior level.
When drafted they enter a world where they are king. From the club, who tells the where to be, what to do, what to eat, to the businesses who throw freebies at them, to the magistrates that go lightly on their indiscretions, they are treated just like kids.
They are so used to not having to abide by the same rules as ordinary citizens that they have to have constant oversight.

FFS. Non-issue. Slap on wrist and don’t do it again. Move on

And in other news, this just in, "Man wears hat!" you heard that right, "Man wears hat" significantly, eye witnesses are saying, he placed it upon his head. More to follow.

This year just keeps getting better.

AFL more concerned about this then the umpires being constantly s**t year after year.

Imagine this being a story...

Firstly it's Collingwood, secondly it's against the rules and for good reason.

Yep, so Jordy really is just being a flog. Howe is usually pretty low key so let him off with a warning.

The more time that passes the more I’m keen to trade him. Come the end of his contract, I would give him an offer of about 400k and I’d say sign it or F Off. He’s not worth anymore based on his output.Unlucky with injury, but more ‘unlucky’ with the off field scrutiny he places on himself. As I’ve said before , the rat pack at least performed week in week out. We might still be able to get something for Jordy at this point.

His ideal position is as a semi key forward, playing him as a mid isn't helping his output IMO.

Good to see the A.F.L tackling the really big issues.

I was worried they'd get done for this.

They broke pretty clear rules. You only go by laws and rules you agree with then?

It wasn't a good luck regardless of whether it was illegal. I wish Jordy was more committed to going and watching the game, not checking his phone.

I'd say he was letting family know how he was. Talk about molehills and mountains.

 

[domus]

Jordy has suffered unlucky contact injuries in the past year or three and hasnt done anything wrong off field until committing this heinous crime of picking up a mobile phone

The other crime would be failing to have an impact in 4 games of footy in 2021.

Sacrilege!!!!
He was pathetic as Clouseau

 

[Go Woods]

Yep give em both a one week suspension

 

[jesterx]

pardon the intrusion but i heard a rumour that JDG and Howe have an envious collection of shitcoins and just wanted to see what the crypto market was doing

 

[TradeDraft]

Non issue but something they shouldnt have done. Its just a bad look. Give them a slap on the wrist and move on.

Agree stupid rule but they where stupid to do it

I think you’re right, when things aren’t working, simplifying the task is a good way to build form or confidence. Having one role rather than being thrown around might be a good way to get some output from him.

Howe/DeGoey.
Dogs, Frizbees, phones.

All we need is for Howe to get done for driving without a license or indecent assault and we'll have bingo...

Poorly run club. Coaching, recruiting, list management, players off field issues. We do so many things wrong and that doesn't include what happens on the footy field.
