Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

[Lord Nicholson]

Scott has done it in the official post-match presser decked out in club gear, as the senior coach. Hence it's something that has most definitely come out of NMFC. If he had been stopped on the street or had been on some other programme I'd be with you but nope, he chose the worst possible instance to make the comment.

 

[Doss]

I know, but I reckon that's rough on North nonetheless; he's shot his mouth off without approval from the club.

Fine distinction possibly, and I get why it's happened, but rough.

 

[Runk]

Nah, I think this is fair enough.

I'll invoke Glengarry Glen Ross: You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is (you ******* child).

You want to participate in this competition you go through the proper channels to allege something. If everyone was allowed to cruise about attacking the standard of umpiring or anything under the sun then you would have anarchy.

That's a good point. Just look at Rugby League coaches.

Hird would have got a bigger fine in 2004 if he used the same lines as Scott did. Hird said the ump was shit or whatever, and got personal, but he didn't say the whole department was fundamentally against him. and non did the equivalent of Geoff Welsh in 2004 play a role in it.

TBF I thought anoth $20k fine would've done the job. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind fining the club $50k is however I'm sure the AFL have their reasons and it is what it is.

Do you think it sends message to all other clubs?

I believe the reasoning was that norf were in a position to have procedures in place to ensure something like that would never happen, plus what Lord Nicholson said.

I'm sure it sends a message to all other clubs but then again I'm not sure there's another coach in the league that would be so dumb as to cast the serious dispersions that he cast.

Give it time.

Hey norf....

#sympathyfornorf ??

surely not. **** them and the stray starving pony they stole to ride in on

 

[Doss]

Hardly sympathy, but anyway.

TRIPLE M STATEMENT:
22 June 2016

http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne/sport/afl/news/2016/6/triple-m-statement/

Triple M acknowledges the widespread public condemnation of comments made on Triple M Football last week. The comments were inappropriate and unacceptable, disrespectful to Caroline Wilson and to women in general.


Triple M apologises to its listeners, the wider community and Caroline Wilson.

The Triple M employees involved in an on-air discussion before the Freeze MND have been counselled and each have apologised for their remarks and acknowledged the importance of stamping out language and behaviour that encourages or appears to tacitly endorse violence, most particularly against women.

The broadcast staff of all Triple M stations have been reminded that language of this nature is not acceptable and there is no context that makes it acceptable. We recognise that continued and further education is necessary to ensure that all staff understand what is acceptable and what won’t be tolerated.

We have arranged for all our on air staff to undergo training from White Ribbon and to enable them to further promote their message, this weekend Triple M will be donating its on-ground digital signage to White Ribbon.

Triple M has carefully considered whether further disciplinary action is required and believes that the public censure of the comments and the actions taken by the AFL community should be a sufficient incentive for a change in behaviour.

From the little I've heard it seems as thought Geoff Walsh fed it to Scott (and Walsh is supposed to be as measured as they come).

Reckon that fining the club is a way of ensuring that they don't use the coach to pursue an agenda.

 

[Doss]

Well if Walsh has fed him the information, that does changes things somewhat I guess.

TRIPLE M STATEMENT:

The furore around this is an absolute joke... Eddie is a peanut at the best of times... but that comment should have just been taken with a grain of salt.

Not to mention Caro herself was joking about it before someone went and got sand in their underwear on a perennial quest to be offended on behalf of other people.

This PC culture is a joke

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I wouldn't be surprised if the umpires did say "Thomas is a ducker that's why we don't pay him high frees" behind closed doors cant have the umpires looking like the bad guys here.

Such protected species are the umpires.

 

[astrowizzle]

iirc hard also got punished and had to work with the AFL umpiring for a fair whack of time after it.

 

[ezard15]

I heard he was very angry, and was seen heading down to the Holden Centre with chopsticks.

lol

 

[ezard15]

This has to be some of the most disgusting, gutless, spineless, small-dick syndrome I've ever seen.

Richmond players completely boycotting Triple M.

Get me off this planet, everyone is offended by everything and I'm ****in over it.

Caro has been preying on people within the AFL and it's system for years and years, costing people jobs, reputations, and more. Someone has a bit of a joke, albeit a really crap one, and look at what's happened.


Bugger this.

I'm going to live on the North Pole with Santa and Jarrod Atkinson.

This post is very special. The likes speak for themselves but. Just. Well done sir

 

[Phone]

it's honestly the most boring post you'll see

 

[Doss]

Ed's a first class foot in mouth merchant.

Having said that, if you want to be truly horrified, look back at what Allan McAlister said in 1993.

Is this guy all there?

 

[yaco55]

So the media haters have called a truce and kissed and made up, until the next flare up which again will hijack AFL footy - Seriously what kind of clubs are Collingwood and the Kangaroos - Board should be firing McGuire and Brayshaw pronto.

Of course there is one common denominator in these issues - Caro - Who is a stain on the game.

Yep agree

If Caro didn't say anything then this wouldn't get out of control and hijack the footy. Her problem is she likes to dish it out but cant take it when it comes back.

He definitely comes across as... 'Medicated'

Ok so I won't go into what's wrong with this, but needless to say, journalists will continue to say things. So in the meantime, it's best to 'fight back' by purely retorting to their words, as everyone loves to do with Barrett on Friday mornings.
