Jake King - WT? - Really?

[Frustrated Tiger]

King is a fan of tats and bikes, do you think there is a rough chance he may cross paths with the odd OMG member?

If he was a fanboi seeking them out (as some players have done in the past), I'd say the guy is a knob, but King doesn't seem to be the poser type.

As for inviting into the rooms, I honestly don't see it as a big deal. As I posted before, we have had plenty of people with bad rap sheets in those rooms over the years, he aint the first and wont be the last

That's fair enough mate, looks like we'll just have to agree to disagree.

all good

I just find it funny that people were rapt to see Dusty's dad in the rooms, but we freak on this. People seem to have no consistency on this at all.

May be tripe to some here, however the AFL is not impressed and has asked for an explanation, particularly after the ACCC suggestions of crime involved in sport earlier this year. As a member of the AFL, the RFC has to be accepting of the standards that the AFL sets, and having Mitchell invited into your rooms by a player does not look very good.

This is actually a decent point, but the AFL attention to this issue has been a joke so far. It seems unless something gets in the paper they just pretend its not happening (FWIW the ties are stronger at other clubs FWIBT, but it barely rates a mention)

As I just posted, if we were genuinely concerned, why were we happy with Dusty's dad in the rooms?

 

[TheAnt]

Yeah and how many drug dealers are in the Essendon rooms after the games?

 

[Bruce Monteath]

Any different to clubs inviting people guilty of multi million dollar fraud or embezzlement into their rooms? I find it funny how we have no issue with white collar crims being down there, but freak at a bikie

There may be a slight difference RFC. The sort of difference that sees some criminals spend a few months on a prison farm in Ararat and others spending years at Barwon. There is also a question of links between bikie gangs and illegal and performance enhancing drugs, but I'll leave that for another day.

I wouldn't necessarily like to Bernie Madoff in the rooms either. But that might just be me.

Or Tom Waterhouse

 

[SunshineBoy]

Do you have PMT? Arguing for the sake of it.

Players are remembered for how they perform in Finals.

Go have a lie down.

go on to the drugs board and see some of that crap that 74 spouts, im in ttal agreeance give the current cone tion to bikie gangs and PEDs , why not invite shane charter in whilst we are at it.

See I think thats bullshit though.

Some arse wipe recently avoided 2 years jail for assault because he went to Haileybury and was too soft for the big house. Why does he avoid jail time and keep his social cred unlike someone who went to Monterey Tech?

Likewise I deal some choof I get jail time. I rip people off for millions, cause them to lose their homes and retirement safety net, and I get 3 months at Ararat.

The perception is blue collar crimes are worse than white collar ones, but when you look at the actual effect of the crimes, this is not always the case.

A thief is a thief, doesn't matter if they rob you crawling through your window or via embezzlement. Only one gets real jail time though.

You have an issue with my posting, speak specifics or report me to the mods. Invitation is always there.

 

[deliberate!!]

And the WCE rooms when Cousins and Mainwaring played? Hmmmm.....

 

[tropicaltiger]

very very disappointed.... 2 sides to every story, heres mine take.. i am extremely dissappointed in jake king, my main beef with kingy is the way he performed against carlton, the other storm in a teacup, aah well yeah kingy you prob should have run it past the club first and abided by its policy so a slap on the wrist to you pal... end of story.

 

[Handsuper47]

Slow news day.. it's going to be a long off-season..

 

[Bazzar]

It was done a month ago dealt with, move the **** on........ who really gives a shit!!! It's the middle of the finals, Syria is in the brink of war, a gang of schoolgirls running amok and the Blobfish win the title of the world's ugliest animal....... the best the HS can come up for their Front Page is a month old story about Richmond... ****wits

...... And a Bikie boss who oversees an organisation responsible for drug importation, murder, extortion, prostitution, bashings and god only knows what else, is invited into our rooms?

As a long time Richmond member (along with most of my family) i do not want the calibre of that ******** anywhere near our club or players.

And he has been charged with the above offences?

If so how the **** is he still walking around a free man?

 

[juss]

I might be in the minority here but this doesn't really bother me. At all.

You are an idiot if you want to defend him.

 

[PUNTROADHAMMER]

And this effects that how?

I love how the people who are banging on about the world becoming a nanny state are the same ones who freak when a footy players mates don't come solely from private schools

Gangitano went to either De La Salle or Marcellin...or was it both...but yeah, I get your point

 

[Nuffers]

I'm not defending him, but I dislike fools that mount their moral high horses and blindly throw around accusations. Especially when keyboard warrioring protected by the anonymity of the internet.

*Damn just keyboard warriored myself

 

[che88]

look i have mates that are linked to bikie gangs,and they are great blokes.BUT im an adult male whos been there and done that i know whats what,but having toby mitchell around a bunch of young(dumb)easily impressed teenagers,because thats what they are is not what i want for richmond or the potential draft picks parents to see.convicted or not most of you need to stop playing devils advocate and except its not a good look.but there is nothing wrong we jake being mates with him,richmond need to butt there nose out when it comes to that.

So you're saying he is squeaky clean?

 

[Nuffers]

So you're saying he is squeaky clean?

He might well be, I don't know and neither do you. Just a lot of media ****tarding about the guy. The only thing I can remember off the top of my head was an assault charge in King Street.

Allegedly Dank sold him some peptides, but not proven or confirmed.

For the record, in my book EFC aren't guilty of anything but bad governance until proven otherwise.

You're obviously a Bikie sympathiser and favorite TV show Sons of Anarchy.

Put him on the board... I say
