What tour was that exactly?
I don't know, I'm not a Jordan Peterson guru, I just remember the discussion. This is the photo that someone screenshot & posted on twitter. Tom replied defending Peterson saying he's not sexist etc. and got quite heated before deleting all his comments.

I wasn't aware that self-help lectures were the new hotspots for AFL players these days.

Sean Darcy is one of the boys who likes a bit of a party at Fremantle. My mate met him at one of those festivals over the weekend. Probably in that socialite group with Cox and Ryan.
Brad Hills jaw was swinging something shocking at a festival a couple weeks back. You'll find a massive number of footy players love getting on the gear in off-season

Funny how the Jack Steven rumours have stopped and the Brad Hill rumours have started right after the trade period, what a coincidence.
The Hill one isn't like the Jack Steven second hand rumour heard off your nan's hairdresser's sister's mate who totally has a legit source within a footy club. The source of this one is Hill himself walking around in public with his jaw swinging. You could name 20+ WA players who do the exact same thing when festival season comes around

I saw some texts (probably fake) going around the collingwood football club about another gambling incident after the Jaidyn Stephenson incident. The text said that more players had been found guilty of gambling on their own games. The message also said that collingwood were going to miss the rest of the season including finals and the team in 9th position on the ladder were going to play finals. When asked about the messages, the collingwood football club and eddie mcguire didnt have much to say and it went pretty quiet

Huge if true. I wonder if they'll play finals.

Honestly though it's not a surprise that quite a few young players around here let loose a bit in the off season . There's concerts and festivals galore over here so it makes it easier for them. I can name easily a few of our players like Ryan, Cox, McCarthy, Darcy and Hogan who all enjoy a bit of a party. It seems a few West Coast players like Barrass, Rioli, Ryan and Cameron (I don't follow enough on social media to know who else) enjoy it too. As long as it doesn't severely effect them then let em go ahead and relax.

There was an investigation on the teammates that Jaidyn had placed bets on with his multi/s. Players obviously had no idea he was doing it so it resulted to nothing

It's a total non event afaic and shouldn't even make it to this board unless 'something' happens as a result of said relaxation.

A friend saw player x at a concert and he looked cooked. Big ******* whoop.

True or not, the AFL is in a precarious position with the gambling companies.
Throwing the occasional player under the bus for doing it is one thing, if it came out that a group of players was doing this, it would hurt both brands. I wouldn't put it past the AFL to cover it up.

Whoever he is he has two first names so he can't be trusted.
I have two first names.

You’re right though. I’m pretty untrustworthy. Comment checks out.
