Player Watch Jeremy Finlayson

[gbear]

Should have taken your advice. Terrible article, a very unbalanced “opinion” that missed the obvious regarding the Clarkson incident and made some unsubstantiated claims.

Glad I don’t routinely read the Advertiser.

I don’t read the advertiser period. Saw the price of it the other day in the supermarket and was like WTAF.

So essentially Emily is just pond scum

I'd be offended to be compared to her if I was pond scum.

 

[Festerz]

I don’t read the advertiser period. Saw the price of it the other day in the supermarket and was like WTAF.

And yet they put this article above all others out from behind the paywall for all to read free of charge.

As Doc says they knew the clickbait value of crap like that in this town.

Ashamed I fell for it.

I did leave a comment on the Advertiser criticising the article. Not the opinion, just how poor the article was and it wasn’t personal. They deleted it….

It’s alright for a media platform to have opinions, but you clearly can’t challenge them on it.

What exactly are the AFL investigating? Jeremy came clean during the game and apologised during the game.

Are they just checking to see who else has said stuff like this or worse? What will happen if after they give Jeremy games, video emerges of Nick Daicos describing an opposition player’s effort as “gay”? Is it not sexist to call someone a “girl” or a “c***”? What AFL officials have been taped saying things more homophobic than “f****t”?

And if they treat Finlayson more harshly than Clarkson, does this mean Finlayson’s target was gayer than Webster and Dougal Howard? Clarkson’s rap sheet is much worse than Finlayson’s.

The AFL can either judge this incident by community standards or try and set those standards. But they are increasingly being exposed as prepared only to set standards when (and upon whom) it suits them.

They're letting the media circus run around whilst everyone forgets about all the other big issues happening such as the drug saga and Lions off field trip etc.

Cows turning this in to a point scoring contest just makes it clear how disgusting they are as an organisation and how they didnt learn a single thing from the Tex incident.

Has anyone any idea what prompted Finn to say this?
You would think it must have been a reaction to something said or done towards him.
He just doesn’t fit the type of person that would walk up and just say that for no reason at all.
It’s not like he’s ever had history of bad behavior.

It doesn't matter.

WE HAVE EVIDENCE.
WE HAVE A RECORDING.

Hang em.
This is just what we needed to cover up last weeks shitfight after using the Gather Round as a good new story to create separation.

UNLEASH THE DOGS.

WE MUST PROTECT MOTHER VICTORIA

Yeh and fire up the crows, enact divide and conquer plan A.
Those hillbillies west of the border always fall for that shit.

Her headlines tell you all you need to know, she would make news.com.au blush. Never click.

Thanks for your input The Creed for Pasadena, CA

We agree. It's like calling Cameron Ling a Black campaigner.

You know better than that. It’s like saying to Cameron Ling, you play like a black campaigner.

Lol imagine moderating opinion pieces. So long as its relatively civil they shouldnt be removing anything. Media love an echo chamber though.

Suggested 4 weeks and I laughed.

Then I remembered who we are and now I'm concerned.

They could actually do this.

Happy now?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I'm not against Finlayson getting 6 weeks like Tex but please don't parade him as a hero when he comes out of suspension like SA media did

 

[Willsy10]

6 weeks lol, crazy talk.

Didn't the article say it happened on three quarter time? He had the shot after the siren and it fell short, I guess Saints players had something to say about it.

AFL CEO came out earlier and said all situations need to be treated differently and the Slobos article drops which would indicate that we are been prepared for a couple of weeks with the AFL feeding the agenda through the media.

And yet when Clarkson had his homophobic rant all Robbo wanted was a fine.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Five AA was playing in the background just then.

Justice Rowe says Finlayson MUST get 6 weeks because under AFL rules his homophobic slur is no different to the racial slur that cost Taylor Walker 6 weeks. That is just Rowe being Rowe and playing to his audience of course. There are considerable differences between incidents including the fact that Walker was not involved in the game and neither he nor the crows owned up to what had happened and it took a formal report from one of the crows own trainers for them to acknowledge the incident.

Not to downplay the seriousness of the incident, but I have to agree with Koch - the AFL set the standard with a suspended sentence for Clarkson, an experienced and mature coach and leader of the AFL for his homophobic slur. They can hardly hand out a sizeable suspension to a player just a few weeks later.

Let’s not forget clarko’s wrap sheet as well.
