News Nelson, Rotham partied up at Hip E after Richmond shellacking

[ep2018]

But why not Fremantle? They've had a smattering, but we seem to be decimated. Or is it as much an injury crisis at the moment?

TBH, I haven't been following the footy all that much.

What seems to be happening especially earlier on is that kids catch covid at school and then bring it home with them, parents are either infected or they are forced to isolate. We have a decent number of players with kids who have been affected by this, and Fremantle with a younger on average team probably dont have many fathers. With the removal of masks and most other measures covid is going to hit both clubs like a freight train.

Should have gone home and sat in a pitch black room thinking about every shortcoming in the game they did, or didn’t, play. Bread and water for the rest of the week imo.

I know when I've had a bad week at work, spending the entire weekend dwelling on it and not getting away from it for a bit instead is definitely the best thing for my performance next week.

Before anyone gets in first, this is obviously a joke. I've never had a bad week at work.

Simpson was reportedly furious with the night out, which came less than 48 hours after the 109-point loss to Richmond.

It is understood the West Coast players did not break any rules by attending the nightclub, with an eight-day break scheduled ahead of the clash with Brisbane.

Well - which one is it?

Look out the clubs on the front foot! Lol

I can understand the annoyance at Nelson if he hadn't had covid yet, but the general 'shouldn't be celebrating a loss' crap shits me to tears and always has.

 

[jaxxon]

Of all the performances to get annoyed about, this is it for Simpson? He should have been furious for weeks.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

They have a right to go out publicly at the moment. It's unfortunate, but the on-field stuff is 100000000000% more concerning than this.

Yeah, since when did 'drowning your sorrows' become 'celebrating a loss'?

 

[Bort Cummings]

Interesting the choice of adjectives (‘furious’, ‘devastated’) when a couple of fringe players go out and don’t break any rules vs the language we hear after the senior players lead us to yet another shellacking (‘we’ve got to own it, find continuity, get better’ etc).

Living with a Swans supporter, I know which one I find more devastating.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Probably more common sense more than anything else. Perhaps a poor decision to attend a packed nightclub the day that the rules changed, and furthermore to put other players and staff at risk of to missing games.

A public stoning should suffice.

The whole time I read that, I was expecting a Subway reference 'Gee...' or something about the players having a medical certificate.

Didn't actually believe that was real until the end.

If the players are banned from going out on the weekend...I'm not surprised they aren't playing with any spirit. What a shit rule.

Double Tiger blow: Star midfielder, gun defender ruled out

Dion Prestia and Nick Vlastuin have been ruled out of Saturday's clash against Collingwood

The Tigers say the star pair will miss through illness, but they are not in the AFL's health and safety protocols.

Unfair, no one's ever slipped me an E when I've been there.

Were the Richmond Players on Curfew too? Either way, ours clearly were and didn't give a shit about the rules.

This is another sign that the club is in disarray. We need a tough as nails football manager to come in and get things on track. New CEO as well if he can't get things sorted.

If Simmo won't take on new ideas then he has to go. It's looking a lot like the Players don't give a shit anymore.

You will be allowed to go out but like any job you have to be careful that your personal past times dont effect your employment.

**** me these guys are not robots, you are just as likely to catch it at the local shopping centre in the checkout line, should these guys be banned from leaving their house ?

Funny how the club is ok promoting and using them at a local HJ store, but doing something on their own is not allowed.

Let's not forget, they had pretty strict rules for the last two years so we could watch them play, and we expect them not to let off any steam.

You'd think after what the club's already been through with injury/illness/player availability that you'd probably pull back a little on the clubbing stuff...especially after getting pantsed by 109 points..but that's just me
