Minson offensive comments

[Geoffa32]

Makes you wonder what will be deemed to come under vilification next.

Tats? Can kind of see this happening. Someone telling a player how crap his sleeve is and that player having a week off because they offended said player because his tats mean something to him............

You should have heard the start of the 5AA sports show. I tuned in to see what Grandpa would say - first time I've listened in years.

Stephen Rowe (playing the role of the moron): "This has got nothing to do with Lucy Cornes."

Grandpa Cornes: "Will Minson has really suffered since the story leaked out onto social media and now everyone's having a say."

Wow.

did he really say this?!?!?

 

[fairdinkum]

What if North package up their first-rounder and Levi Greenhead for Danyle Pearce?

That's how much I care about this issue. Woman's Day type stuff.

A role that was written with him in mind

Tom Scully might get Melbourne disqualified from the competition after Sunday.

Minson cried at a press confrence because he reflected on his reputation.

Didn't see any tears when I watched it before.

You can tell he's not sorry at all, which is exactly the response I hoped for. Now if only he was able to call out Pearce and Co. for being soft as butter...

Don't wanna read the whole thread, anyone know what was actually said?

"Bulldog ruckman Will Minson made derogatory comments of a sexual nature about Pearce's mother. According to Pearce, comments implied a forced sexual assault, including a line about pinning down her arms.​

According to Minson, the comment was sexual and offensive but with no forceful assault implied in the conversation. His teammate, Liam Picken, strongly backed Minson yesterday."​

Makes the power poster saying "Well rowe said Minson said this" and passing it off as fact even more stupid.

Don't know about the guys defending Minson ITT, but if someone said something like that about my mum - footy field or no - I'd have done a Des Headland. I thought Pearce handled it okay, maybe the relative size of Minson to Pearce had something to do with that though

 

[RuFiO]

Surely you'd just laugh it off if what's reported was really said.
People just get offended way too easily nowadays.

Been a long time since you've ever graced a footy field, eh champ

Nah I play competitive footy. Would never stoop to those lows to try and get an edge, but that's just me.

......and never been sledged in anyway similar?

Power captain Dom Cassisi said that in his time in the AFL the two worst things he had heard had come from Minson, who apologised to Kane Cornes in 2008 for offensive comments about the Port Adelaide midfielder's ill child.

And this is what is wrong with port Adelaide.

Soft team.

Agreed. Strange how hard they are going after this considering Port used to have Will's baby brother on their list.

"Whilst it's the second time we have faced a similar situation, we take Will's apology on face value and trust it won’t happen again."

Or what?

he is probaly upset that the game has gone so soft.

looney cornes needs to spend more time away from twitter and facebook and more time towards being a mother.

Adam Selwood tried that.

 

[jimmy35]

Maybe it's one of Wilburs pickup lines.

I've been sledged many times, but even at the local level players haven't gone and said anything about my family. I think it's just wrong to cross that line personally.

 

[crownie]

Pearce "what have you ever done?"

Minson "i have had sex with your mum"

Well good for you but i can only deduce from that, you weren't worth sledging, you're still playing Under 12's or you're talking about soccer

And running charities. Oh but only if they're charities that personally affect her.
