Journos queueing up to wholeheartedly suck Geelong and Geelong figures’ balls is one of the more puzzling pivots of the 21st Century

They've filled the media full of Geelong people so they want to keep their mates happy in typical AFL media fashion. No criticism of Geelong, only puff pieces. We're a secondary victim of this, this is a big part of why Hinkley has faced zero criticism despite a decade of garbage. It's a protection racket.

Geelong add The Weapon as a performance coach and source "supplements" from Steven Dank and magically go from also-rans to a pack of early onset male pattern baldness Captain Americas. They win 3 flags and all their stars move into the media in various roles, and this is the sort of absolute bullshit we have to deal with.

There are parallels with Man City just completely ignoring the FFP rules for a decade, and growing from a middle of the pack nothing club to a powerhouse because of it.

That's not even getting into the pork barrelling that their location allows them, or bullshit like the Bowes trade that is just unprecedented in footy.

It's to the point where i'm not sure what result i'd want if they played the Crows in the GF.

Thats what Warick Capper says he did.

Surely we're not naive enough to believe that is all he did on the night...

I have no idea what he really said or did over and above what has been reported, but if its as bad as you are suggesting, why does it take 9 months for the AFL to act on it?? Its not that important? Its the AFL?

 

[JimmyBC]

Warwick might not even know what he's saying half the time with the CTE there's a fair bit of word salad & speech difficulty going on.

My guess, based purely on speculation is he was on his last warning.

 

[Doctor Feel]

We should just ban anyone called Warwick tbh

Of mild interest might be what the Optus surface looks like after last night's Rugbaleeg in the wet.

And watching Dante's brother get his debut game, to see if we got the better brother.

Nice even spread.

What he said might be distasteful but it’s hardly trafficking. Saying you would look good in my brothel - a legal activity in both Qld and Vic is a long way from saying you have a job in another country with a straight out lie to get you to travel there, then take away your passport when you get there so you can't leave and force you to work in prostitution and pay off your travel fee debt.

You don’t really understand trafficking or the extent to which it happens in the ‘legal’ industry.

Trafficking - legal or illegal - involves coercion, fraud, deception etc. A smartarse comment hardly fits that.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Its definitely a horrible comment and a fine or a ban wouldnt be unreasonable. But 5 years is only happening if they are absolutely sick of Capper doing this sort of shit.

I mean Id argue Taylas racial attack was much worse and it only got him a few weeks off.

Vigo gets a run in the ruck for the bombers.

Good effort for a second year rookie pick.
