Jake King on Open Mike

[Topkent]

This.

I worry about some of the people on this thread...Either they and their mates are perfect, they're massive hypocrites or they have no mates.

Also friends can be just as close as family
Just because someone shares blood doesn't make them any more important than a mate IMO

 

[SBYM]

Toby Mitchell is a vicious, criminal piece of shit. I know this first hand...wonder if Jake would be so forthright when speaking to the guy I saw him beat the shit out of and nearly kill.

Loyalty is admirable and all that, but fmd...

 

[Jables]

I have nothing but contempt for Jake King or anyone that chooses to associate with hardcore criminals. Loyalty is not always admirable, loyalty to a scumbag is just endorsing scumbag behaviour.

I understand your point. But the bar of "perfect" has dropped pretty bloody low when it means "someone who has less moral culpability than a violent drug dealer".

But if that is indeed the bar, then yes - me and my friends are all perfect.

 

[Whowants2know]

Comes across as a bloke who was always driven to succeed. Qualified plumber at 20 on $100K per annum and took a huge pay cut to $30K per annum when Rookie listed.

$100k for a plumber?? Must have been collecting bags of goodies out of the toilets from his mates

But where do you draw the line?

 

[pazza]

Didn't see the interview but King comes across as a pretty normal type of bloke who would be by your side at all times, no matter what you might have done. That's what appears to be the case with him and Toby Mitchell.

 

[Topkent]

But where do you draw the line?

Each individual should set their own morals and standards and not let anyone tell them what to feel

 

[Halftimehero]

I've got mates who in their own time when they aren't around me do questionable things
I'm still mates with them
I know half the people on here would prefer every AFL identity to answer every question with a smile then promote a social issue and skip off into the sunset carting rainbows

Jake King had a beer with the cheer squad after his final game to say thanks yet you people probably idolize players who wouldn't even fart in the same room as you

You can have mates who do "questionable things" and who even end up in jail for this that or the other, then you have Toby Mitchell, he doesn't just do "questionable things", he is a hardened criminal of the highest order, absolute scum of the earth, why anyone would want to be associated with him I really don't understand.

Its not for you to tell Jake King who is mates are so why do you care

When he goes on a TV show for everyone to see then he is going to get judged.
I am not telling anyone who Jake Kings mates are, that's what he was doing, what I am saying is his mate is scum of the earth and can't understand why anyone would want to be associated with someone like that.

running out of interesting people , mike ?

Or they have no idea that some of their mates are probably rapists, pedos, drug dealers or worse.

My mate is a plumber and makes easily that, in Adelaide

Obviously
Pretty crap at interviewing too
but it appeals to the demographic

and have a good education, can speak nicely and wear a suit so you would never know

 

[ashep]

1. Are they drug dealers/standover men?
2. Would you bring them to work with you?

There's a difference between having mates who 'aren't perfect' to having mates like Mitchell and OMCG members and associates who traffic drugs, abuse and force women into prostitution, extort local businesses and sell stolen firearms (just to name a few things bikies are into).

As a 21 year old just out of his time?

 

[Percel]

If jake King is at the top of the list of invites, then surely youre struggling to maintain the show.

Giving a bloke a decent appoint off star time, purely to ask about his violent, drug peddling shitty mate is just crazy

Yep. Quality of guests have gone downhill this year. Vandenberg and Grinter were average as well.

Alot of melbourne supporters were interested in Grinter
Can't all be tigers and bombers champions

You got it in one. Mike has run out of champions to interview.

Disagree. There should be a minimum standard, and if your standard is below this you don't deserve the freedom of being part of society or the respect of the general population.

 

[Royce Hafey]

At least he doesn't have a mate in Human Resources. Has standards does Push Up.
