If im the other two footballers and the club told me to make an apology, id tell them where to go

Youre going to potentially risk a suspension or even a career over a 30 seconds half hearted apology?

Id have done the apology with absolutely no hesitation whether i meant it or not.

suspension from who? the club? yep i would - got to stand up for yourself when you've done nothing wrong.

The club, the AFL.

Fair enough.

suspend them for what? they did nothing wrong.

the whole thing is the perpetually offended raising their heads again, but more so, old people, including AFL media, not realising what they were actually doing

I dont disagree with the second sentence but ultimately if those perpetually offended make enough nosie then they are seen to have done something wrong.

The actual real world we live in usually dictates that if enough people are offended and upset then an organisation with a vested interest in public opinion will react.

For the sake of a half hearted 30 second apology video ill swallow my pride all day long, i respect that you wouldnt but i also think its naive to think that you can always just live your own personal motto.

i think its sad you'd apologize when you know you havent done anything wrong

“Old people” - not sure what age group you are referring to but you are kidding yourself if you think that’s who the complaints come from

Young women are representing now and they aren’t taking anymore of this bullshit and men are going to get called out far more often than they ever used to.

yet i havent seen or heard anyone complain about Quanor and his girlfriend doing the same thing....wheres their outrage their....

ive seen it being used by those defending the players, not any complaints or demanding an apology.....

Im not sure if go as far as to say "havent done anything wrong" if theyve offended enough people for the club to action it then they probably did something wrong. The degree to which it was wrong is really the subjective bit.

Ive apologised before when i really didnt think it was necessary but some persepctive beyond my own made me realise it was for the best.

More importantly if my employer who pays me very well and to do a job i love to do says "hey, were copping some heat here, we need an apology here, i get that its not that big a deal but current circumstances etc etc" Ill do it without hesitation cause thats worth more to me than my personal pride.

That wasn’t the point - you implied it was “old” people (presuming that’s your age bracket) that complain, when it’s not - it’s mainly young women that are speaking out.

Tbh I don’t think there was the outrage implied in relation to these two, it’s the club reacting because of the s**t that DeGoey brings on the club.

Whether it’s valid or not, it’s easier just to apologise and in a couple of days it’s forgotten. I don’t buy into the role model s**t but you could almost infer they are influencers, so unfortunately they do need to set the standards whether they want to or not or if they are going to do this sort of stuff turn off the goddam video/camera

AFL media would count as the old people who wouldnt know what they were really getting annoyed about....but still wanted vengeance

100% this for me too

Interesting how everyone is talking about the injustice against the other two players and not the actions of a known sex pest at the club...

 

[brutus76]

Lazy a** people who can't return their shopping trolleys or fill up a car parking bay with strays

You can't walk 25 yards?

I think there enough threads heaping s**t on DeGoey. The other boys are nothing to do with it.

Must be the same people who don't dispose of rubbish correctly when waiting for PT.

Not really what I was getting at.

There's a woman on the news with a $1.5M house loan complaining about how much they will have to pay if interest rates go up as if we are supposed to feel sorry for them.

 

[Cuzz09]

She should maybe sell her $1.5m joint and live like a Queen in a $500k place

There was a young single woman maybe 6+ months ago that took out a $1M loan on her own. First thing I thought is you earn good money but you are already saying the repayments are somewhat challenging, umm what if interest rates go up sooner and further than expected?

Depends if it’s Sydney… you need a million to live close-ish to city and $500,000 would buy you a big standard unit, I imagine. Certainly wouldn’t be living like a queen.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Some of my friends have really over borrowed and are FREAKING OUT. I feel for them, it must be a scary position to put yourself in.

Didn’t banks add in interest rises when determining how much to lend - thought that was law now

Josh and Scott removed that requirement in 2020 to speed up the recovery
