Minson offensive comments

[Ron The Bear]

It appears Port Adelaide supporters are the only rational posters who have read the article and mention that Pearce has accepted the situation

If all he said was "I've moved on", fine, but he also says
- there is more to the story, which was sure to provoke interest
- he doesn't think sledging belongs in football
- he hasn't received an apology

...all after Minson has served his week and is back playing. It casts doubt on Pearce's claim that he's "moved on".

No, it doesn't. The problem lies with people creating a storm in a tea cup because they've developed pre-conceived notions of Danyle Pearce reacting to Will Minson's sledging of his mother.

Once more, it's garbage journalism feed by a sensationalist headline that doesn't represent the presented work.

All this touchy feely stuff of pandering to minority groups shits me! Get over it and time to move on!

These guys receive media training. With "It's been dealt with, it's in the past", he defuses it. But he clearly wanted to talk about it.

Pearce refused to take Minson's calls. Minson left more than one message on his phone, but Pearce didn't want to know about it. That's his call, but in my eyes, when someone offers you an apology, you at least listen to it.

Shit, maybe he's read this thread with hundreds & hundreds of posts saying how much of a pussy he is and he wants to defend himself a bit.

Also he didn't say this at all. He said that Minson's sledge had no place in football, not all sledging.

Maybe the critics have a point.

It appears Port Adelaide supporters are the only rational posters who have read the article and mention that Pearce has accepted the situation, won't be repeating the slur and is intent on letting the saga die out. Any other interpretation of Pearce's words suggests a vendetta against Danyle Pearce (because this is exactly what he says several times).

Agree 100%

The media are trained (funny that) to find controversy. Footballers aren't diplomats so more often that not feed the media frenzy. Its the reason why politicians never give straight answers.

On an other note: Is it possible for Daniel Pearce to move on without accepting Will's apology. Is it a foregone conclusion that an apology must be accepted, similar to how a presented hand must be shook?
If what Minson said really offended Pearce, then why cant he just be of the opinion that they aren't teammates, do not need to co-exist and can live the rest of their lives without talking to each other? Its almost as if Will needs to be vindicated rather than the other way around.

FWIW Pearce was asked a question rather than volunteering his opinion, IMO his response was refreshing rather than Cliche AFL sanitised rubbish

Why do people take Minson's word over Pearcey's? Pearce clearly stated he has had no phone call from Minson but Minson said he had tried at his press conference. He may have tried that day when Pearce was out of range on community visits on the West Coast but he has not tried since. ( both accounts could be therefore true, but Minson did say he would keep trying but he obviously has not) Minson lied to the AFL investigation as his account of what took place differed from after the game to the next day, whereas Pearce's stayed true. An intelligent person should be able to come to the same conclusion the AFL did...Minson lies. Pearce has clearly moved on and if you take the time to watch the interview he tries to move on as the interview was supposed to be about the Showdown.

BigFooty posters get off on journalists probing for a story. What's new.

Its obvious that Pearce hasnt moved on otherwise he wouldnt have bought it up again. Shouldve just said the matter has been put to bed end of story but he rambled on about it yet again and sparked the fire

Which assumption would you prefer that I made? That you've read the article or that you haven't read the article?

Why do you take Pearce's word over Minson/Liam Picken's?

For all you know Minson could have tried calling Pearce, pearce ignores and deletes call log. Then claims Minson didn't call him so Minson remains the victim and Pearce's dad can keep likening his son to Nicky Winmar?

If the AFL came to the conclusion Minson lied, why didn't they suspend/prosecute him above what the Dogs did?

I'd like to hear your opinion on how Minson's account changed- giving evidence and all.

The reason the AFL backed Pearcey is because of two things...firstly Minson's account changed...both players had to complete a written report straight after the game and then they gave a verbal account the next day. Pearcey's was the same, Minson's was not, plus the umpire confirmed certain things that he heard.The AFL insisted on Minson doing a respect for women course and I feel that is far more relevant than the game he missed that the Bulldogs gave him. A close friend works for the AFL

The fact is that you have nothing to back up your version of events. Your post is just as factual as the guy who said he gave Will a right old talking to.

People invent things - moments of bravado, fake close friends, to help prove their points on here because ultimately although they may be called out on it there is no consequence as it's the internet under a psuedonym and not face-to-face with your real name.

You've got nothing.

What? I believe Pearce just said in that recent interview that only he and Will know what was said? Is he making up lies now?
