Re: Davis, Cox and Egan

Better than getting into fights with bouncers i guess.

Farmer = My hero.
It's about time someone gave those w****** what they deserve.

Huge culture issue at Collingwood. Strip them of premiership points and draft picks.

And salary cap concessions for player "rehabilitation"

Re: Collingwood suspends Davis, Cox and Egan

couldnt of come at a better time, we have the bye this week!

Don't say that...

We've got a team full of kids. They're not going to play 22 good games this year.

God Please...Don't drop this one on saturday Pies...

They left the hotel after they were told to stay in. It doesn't say they went out drinking or on a bender. As far as we know they walked down to 7-11 to get a paper.

Let's not get too excited.

They didn’t get disciplined for going to the milk bar for an ice cream. Nothing to suggest they got into any trouble but sure as hell they went somewhere for a drink. Personally I think the team rules are childish and idiotic and after a good win they should be allowed to go out.

 

[krustyman]

thank god "Bad Boy" Dane Swan didn't go out with the trio!

if the bad boy went out with them, they would all get off.

 

[morgoth]

Disagree Mark, maybe in Melbourne but in SA where they may wander into the wrong pub and end up in a fight. Unfortunately the only way to stay out of trouble is to not put yourself in a position where it can occur.

Fact of life in todays AFL. Still they get paid big bucks to put up with it so their is a trade of of sorts.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Its pragmatic to stay indoors when on tour, and keep away from ferals in the pubs. Surely its not much to ask of a professional footballer.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Ben Johnson as part of the leadership group handed out this decision. Couldnt keep a straight face apparently.

I'm sure he kept a very straight face. His cohort in that incident was traded, so he knows the drill.

If they get near a fight they have to leave. These are men being paid good money to absorb pressure on the field and make good choices. Adults should be treated as adults and if they F up then deal with it as a F up. I fundamentally disagree with mother hen don’t go out rules. The fact Tarrant goes out and gets in a fight is a Tarrant issue not a cause for a blanket ban on going out AFTER a match.

Ben cops a bit of stick but IMO he sticks up for his club and his mates and that’s good enough for me. There is a fair difference between Tarrant and Johnson’s situations. I don’t mind his post 2003 GF trouble or even his more recent Tarrant incident really. I’d prefer our players not to get in trouble at all of course but BJ shows some seriously good qualities that people jump on because the world has far to politically correct and hysteria leads hysteria into ignorance.

Having said that I am sure you are right that Ben knows what is at stake. Either way. I’d be happy to make him captain next year.

I'm sure Mick got them to stay indoors mainly because of everything else that has happened this year.

We all know that AFL player can be targets when they are out having a drink.

Plus they just beat Adelaide, so Mick obveriously thought that the players might be harassed if they had gone out for a few beers.

Re: Collingwood suspends Davis, Cox and Egan

Obviously a Richmond fan because its clear you know little about footy if you are calling Cox a hack.

Um, he actually goes for collingwood.

 

[arakaan]

well done collingwood.

a bit different to the ticker tape parade that would of been given to 3 players on landing in perth if they were from the west.

 

[The Pies Are In Front]

I know for these 3 boys that have been suspended for the week the Pies will get Didak, Medhurst and Holland back but for Presti I dont know who will come in! Presti will be out for 2-3 weeks and I know this ebcause I saw him at the Adelaide airport on Sunday morning just before I flew out. Presti was in a moonboot and told me he would be out for 2-3 max!

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

If they get near a fight they have to leave.

Its often too late by then. Better to stay in the hotel and have a few beers with your teammates rather than go out and ask for trouble simply by being a visiting footballer in a foreign town.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

for Presti I dont know who will come in!

Wakelin, of course.

Re: Collingwood suspends Davis, Cox and Egan

And then they say why we hate Collingwood supporters
Will Bump after Carlton beat you on the weekend.

Not our fault you only played 1 quarter against Carlton! How sad, having to rely on Carlton because your own blokes couldn't get up on ANZAC day and to add insult to injury Dons capitulated against Carlton as well. Whatever happens Collingwood have beaten at least 2 of the 3 scum (Rich, Ess and Carl) teams this year.

 

[No. 35]

I'm so surprised at how happy everyone is about this. Clearly I'm out of step, my last drink might have to be with Sam Newman after this ridiculous joke of a decision.

Surely there's more to it than 3 guys leaving their hotel room ?

Did CFC really ban anyone leaving?
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's all I've heard.
If so, that is pathetic, Saturday night after a game players should be able to enjoy their win with some more realistic bans in place.

It appears we're the new sucks of the AFL, not a place I'm comfortable with. Lets hear the "real" reason, surely they went over curfew or something ? The players put this ban in place ? With no persuasion ? turn it up, I don't believe this for a second on the information we've received. Why doesn't MM come clean and own up ? Again, can anyone tell me why a grown up man can't leave his hotel room after a game when the next one is six days away?

and has MM changed his mind ? no, just on Davis. I recall him saying it may be different if they (the offenders of team rules) were first gamers. So where has he been a hypocrite ? Davis I'm guessing ?and hasn't he been a protected 100 + player. Time he wasn't treated like a junior!! Make him own up and front up, leaving him out of the side next week doesn't do this, MM is resting him.

Why the public humiliation I'm not sure.

Edit: btw I think there's two reasons why Leon has been delisted (from MM's honest reasonings the year before).

1. Round 7 and we're playing Carlton - where is the stand up and be counted for a win ?
2. He can hardly make an example of the 2 others and not display his disgust when the above is 'reality'. Therefore Leon can't make a statement and an honest man of himself because he knows he will just be another passenger if/when CFC beat Collingwood. Leon, you're still a junior despite your games....

Just what every team needs. Blind accusations based on assumptions and guesswork.

Re: Collingwood suspends Davis, Cox and Egan

Cox = Hack
Egan = Bigger Hack

And
Lockyer = Coaches love interest
Would have been de-listed at any other club except maybe the Tige's

From what we got from the media what else is there?

Try and answer the questions next time.

No no, you're completely off topic and wrong.

Tarkyn was potential, then average, now great! These things happen with major injuries.

How is that love interest or Tiges ?

There's no question to answer. Unless you can come up with anything apart from your guesses anything we say is purely speculation.

I had plenty of relevant questions, I will not bore everyone in repeating them.
