Whateley sucks utensils at AFL House.
Bald-headed FLOG.
Funny that.Seems like this Collingwood bloke doesn't want to talk to the media any more now they've found out he has form.

... you wet blanket.
I think Gil is forgetting that footy is more than a game.
Its theatre too. The tribalism. The barracking. The booing. Its akin to a pantomime. Theres three teams out there. Yours, theirs and the umps.
Now, nobody condones threats of violence, or racist epithets or vile descriptors but harmless gibes have to be permitted.
Where do you draw the line? Is "you idiot" a term worthy of being ejected from the footy?
A common sense approach has to be applied. If the language is of a vile or violent nature then sure, throw em out. AFL once asked umpires to make all sorts of judgement calls on iffy decisions because they empowered them with the ability to size things up and make a decision based on the circumstances presented in front of them. Now we have rules which are ridiculously trying to be concise and cover all angles which are clearly backfiring cos they offer no leeway and they have taken the ability to be judicious away from the umps. Causing further crowd irateness.
I dont blame the umps at all. They have been given a clear edict to follow and toe the AFL's line.
As a governing body of a sport they are woefully immature, insecure and reactive.
And so childishly feeling the need to show society how "progressive" they are when the exact opposite is true.
In not unrelated news, I've just heard a whisper that Simon & Garfunkel will be the AFL GF entertainment. They will sing one song.
Quoting this to give it more visibility. This outrage kinda loses merit when the truth of the person involve comes out.Seems like this Collingwood bloke doesn't want to talk to the media any more now they've found out he has form.

Quality denouncement. 100% facts.
Lol. Sounds like something a bully says to the kid who refuses a wet-Willy.
Sounds like something a hipster says to a person who refuses to tow their line.
Thanks, looks like I was spot on as usual. See below.
But it wasn't the first time Simon Grech has been reported at a match, and his recent social media history is littered with profanities, threats of violence and aggressive phrases.
There is a widening disconnect between the AFL (media included) and the average fan. It's honestly killing my love for AFL and pushing me towards local footy only.
No hiding history in the age of social media.Funny that.
Oh * i am COOKEDThanks, looks like I was spot on as usual. See below.

If you wanted to report the AFL CEO you should probably spell his name right or they'll nab some other poor bastard.
There's your mistake, right there.Listening to Whateley on 360, it’s become blatantly obvious that he’s on the AFL’s payroll in some capacity to push their their agendas for them.
There's your mistake, right there.
There's your mistake, right there.
People think Whateley is a good footy pundit purely because he is intelligent and eloquent. Yeah, it sets him apart from the morons and meatheads who dominate the footy media, but his actual opinions on football (and the world) really aren't worth a pinch of shiit.
He never has anything remotely interesting to say about the game. He is basically there to push the various agenda, which he does quite well. You KNOW what he will say in advance. He will toe the party line for the AFL and he will side with the hand-wringing social justice warriors on every controversial issue.
It pays well to be a corporate shill.Yes, Whateley used to be a logical voice in the cesspit that is football media.
These days though, he's just a sanctimonious flog.
