News Clark and Duncan 'fallout'

[Cataholic]

True, but neither can non-depression battlers.
It shouldn't be a free pass to f**k up a lot

True.
True.

First time I've heard he's crossed that line?

Anyhow, just my observation and 2c worth.

Lock thread please mods.

 

[Cataholic]

Lock thread please mods.

Agreed.

This won't end well.

 

[catempire]

There's no need for the padlock at this point but keep to the topic and tread carefully when talking about depression please.

 

[newcs]

This thread was written by someone who has been sooking for the last few weeks about a joke made about her.
So now she goes and writes a dodgy story which involves someone who everybody knows has had depression issues.
How low can you go Caro.

 

[Partridge]

Depression doesn't excuse them from basic human decency

It shouldn't, but it doesn't always work like that.

 

[GFrost]

Incident doesn't sound good. But everything around it suggests it's not a problem at all for those that matter, so one day of chat and move on.

Nope, because in genuine cases, no-one fully understands the brain function, chemistry and distorted view of the world through that person's eyes

And in non-genuine cases, people use it to make excuses and avoid responsibility.

Before you ask, very close contact with both cases too.

will stay on this story all night if we have too

We're on the same page.

Anyone care to tell me what was actually said??? That is, if anyone knows!

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Without knowing the details, I imagine the initial incident took place like this;

Clark (sledging without thinking): "Hey Teia, I rooted ya sister and I rode her for Miles!"

I think at that exact moment it would not have even registered with Clark that his teammate Mitch Duncan was going out with Teia Miles' sister - like a 'mum' joke it would have been automatically out the mouth before the brain even knew it was there.

Clark has since admitted his wrongdoing to Duncan and apologised.

No more controversy?

I'd be pretty confident that Clark wouldn't have said anything about Mitch or his girlfriend... and I'm pretty certain his comments would have been about the individual he was saying it to...

And fwiw, it's sorted... all good, move on.. people pot shotting Clark are doing so without even knowing what was said

Fair enough. I was working from this;

Clark is understood to have directed the sledge to senior-listed Hawk Teia Miles during a match against Box Hill Hawks. He allegedly disparaged Miles' sister, who is the long-term partner of Clark's Cats teammate Duncan...

Storm in a teacup though. Clark apologised and I reckon they've all moved on.

 

[LawnMosey]

Best line in the article was the one mentioning that the players had a meeting to discuss the rhbbish Sydney game. Am I the only one that hears stuff like that and thinks "2007... post north melb rd 5 players meeting..."

I'm most likely wrong... I just had thought they were pretty close (Duncan/Hawk/Clark) and he wouldn't have done that

I could be confused with someone else though... I also know another reason players would sledge young Miles

Oh wow.

That's a big shiny lure you just threw out.......

You give me way too much credit mate.

I ain't .... oh shoot, I get your drift

“It wasn’t a huge deal,” Scott said.

“Straight after the game the players and the relevant parties spoke, apologies were made and accepted and everyone moved on.

Obviously said something in poor taste. Move on.

The way I heard it reported, Clark had said something to Duncan about his gf.
But if he was getting stuck into an opponent on the ground about his sister I can see it.

Not smart when it was going to affect a team mate.

Oh well.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Maybe he said Duncan is shagging your sister

Not really something to get upset about because it's true?

Clark allegedly said something to Miles, whose sister is Duncan's GF.

It got back to Duncan, who fronted Clark.....
