[MarcusP2]

Is it known what others that have been suspended for it said exactly? Like Powell/Finlayson/Graham?

Pretty sure Finlayson and Graham went the f-slur as well.

 

[ams4crows]

our season just been blow to bits

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Pissweak , whatever happened to what happens on field stays on field

 

[1970crow]

I think it was on Quaynor, and might have been Rankine? In my defence I was pretty hammered, on holis interstate

Was it Qaynor that had a crack at Rankine when he threw his head back playing for a free? Someone shoved him directly after, probably called him a weak turd or something for good measure. Maybe Rankine has gone about over the top in returning serve.

They all went with the meatballs made with pork mince and offal.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Nice going Izak you absolute ****ing moron.

Unfortunately it doesn’t now and players should be smarter. Praying it turns into a he said, she said and the benefit of the doubt is given

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Nice going Izak you absolute ****ing moron.

And if it’s not true ?

 

[Scorpus]

He's gone for the rest of the season if he's found guilty. Similar suspensions have been 4-6 weeks

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Nice going Izak you absolute ****ing moron.

Maybe calm down, we have no idea what’s gone down

 

[ams4crows]

Is it known what others that have been suspended for it said exactly? Like Powell/Finlayson/Graham?

Pretty much all used the same word.... He ain't getting 3 or less, GF is 4 games away if we win QF 5 if we lose QF and still make it

 

[giantroo]

[BRL121]

Cotchin law surely applies here, can't be suspended for finals can you?

We need to use the Barry Hall precedent and take out a Supreme Court injunction to let him play finals.

 

[FR0GGY]

Nice going Izak you absolute ****ing moron.

Did you just vilify him?

 

[40porpoise]

AFL usually turn to water when it comes to the finals. They wouldn't want one of the biggest stars missing for that would they.

 

[XBX4]

It’s 2025 and that type of language has no place in society, let alone on the field

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Did you just vilify him?

If he had said the same, 0 weeks.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Spare me

 

[adelaidecrows]

Is it known what others that have been suspended for it said exactly? Like Powell/Finlayson/Graham?

I think it was the F word.

Im personally just wondering how a fully grown man runs to the AFL to try and get players suspended for a word. Yet if it was Quaynor, he deliberately tried to hurt players in after tackles. That to me is highly hypocritical. too wrongs dont make a right here. Should never have been said, but **** me. The modern player.

 

[robboaustralia]

Do a Wayne Carey....

“All the time, I was denying everything. I‘d always been taught to deny, deny, deny unless you’ve been caught red-handed. And even if you have been caught red-handed you still deny, deny, deny.”- Carey, from The Truth Hurts.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Ah, the old guilty before any investigation, classic AFL. Any competent organisation wouldn’t have this leaked out to media so quickly.

 

[Pea Nut]

It’s 2025 and that type of language has no place in society, let alone on the field

Another troll on a burner account joins the fray. Oh goody.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Honestly, whatever was said, he should deny it outright.

It’s his word against someone else’s — and everyone knows this is a farce.

We’re talking about a word, not an act of violence. Missing a finals series over this is absurd.

And all of you hysterical lunatics throwing Izak under the bus know exactly how ridiculous this is — you just don’t have the spine to say it.

 

[ams4crows]

They don't report on this unless they already know he said something. Would they even believe him if he said it was with an M?

 

[adelaidecrows]

AFL usually turn to water when it comes to the finals. They wouldn't want one of the biggest stars missing for that would they.

Never under estimate the VFL wanting to remove a foreign threat and appease Collingwood in the process.
