Your very narrow minded my friend. It's ok to be like that. Just understand many won't be like that
How do you reconcile your club's fielding a women's team with its history of paying hush money to rape victims?

Again, I doubt it.
I don't expect you to get this, but there's more to life than kicking around a pig skin and rubbing shoulders with those who've done the same.

Firstly, Mike Sheahan never actually asked King if he condoned Mitchell’s activities or if he regretted taking him into the Richmond rooms. He simply asked why he is mates with him and if he had gone against the club’s wishes.
I have many friends & family that have done, will do or continue to do ‘questionable things’. That’s simply human and just because I won’t drop them like a hot spud doesn’t mean I agree with every choice they make.
Kingy could have so easily become another of those blokes that the ignorant on here judge from afar … his upbringing was anything but easy. Instead, he took a risk by putting aside a successful career to eventually make a rookie list at 23 years of age and then go on and play 100+ AFL games with not nearly as much talent as the thousands of ‘could haves’.
I respect that and the funny thing is that so would anyone who has had to do it tough like him and come out the other side. Those that don’t respect what he has achieved have never walked in his shoes.

Your club named it's Best and Fairest after a convicted criminal who spent time in Pentridge.

It's a shame Dick Pratt wasn't still around in 2012 to present the John Nicholls medal to Heath Scotland. That would have been somewhat ironic

It's amazing how so many people seem to live in a small bubble...
Not rooted best mates missus in a dunny. Not a drug cheat. Not bashed a cleaner. Not bashed a taxi driver. Not cooked on ice. Not posted dick pics. Not rooted a school girl. Not charged with rape. Not let a girl OD and die in a hotel room. Not racially slurred anyone.

If any of these players are interviewed by Mike Sheehan on Open Mike...feel free to make a thread about them, and comment in it.
Just like we are doing in this thread about Jake King.

I was interested in it
What don't you understand about that? I don't want here the story of a bloke who did ok kicked some goals and the most exciting thing that happened to him was he was drafted
Snore .. give me the interview with Fevola Judd Aker etc any day
Was never a listed Northern Blues player.

If you are not going to associate with anyone who has been questioned or charged over an offence and only associated with those in rotary you are going to have a very lonely life.
I'm tipping you are just being a hypocrite and taking the opportunity to put yourself on a pedestal for the purpose of perceived clean skin and of coarse Bigfooty ' likes '.
Some of the most genuine people you will ever met have a checkered past .
Racism , homophobio , gender inequality are all resultant of people being judged based on generalistion and perception.

What makes King a thug? Fevola? Judd? Aker? Thugs, really?
I'd take those interviews over 90% of players who are cookie cutter. Being a great footballer doesn't always mean their story is good.

Not just that. Willingly and systematically was responsible for injecting a bunch of young men with god knows what, with no thoughts of the side effects.
Is that any better than Mitchell being a drug dealer?

I'm sure old mate would rather here the story of the private school kid who had rich parents and got a scholarship to a private school for footy, he then was drafted immediately and never had any problems because things always worked for him
Player x's advice is don't bother worrying about anything because it will always fall into place for you and you don't need to ever fight and scrap because that's for those poor people we don't care about
