[Shifty Crow]

Unlikely. Would anything like this be more offensive than all the unreported things going on every night in Sydney streets?
Anyway, the article I read made it abundantly clear that the suspensions resulted dirtectly from the skits at the party, which occurred with only players present.

I live in Sydney and you you see some pretty crazy shit late at night

And took on salary dumps of 2 players totalling $2.2M of their salary cap.

Rat is definitely a salary dump.

Not sure that Luko is exactly a salary dump, given that they signed him to a 6-7 year contract at the same rate (or more) as he was on at GC.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

To improve our 22, I would take Bergman, Aliir, Rozee, rioli, georgiades, Sweet, Butters and Horne (maybe Farrell). Less than 50% of a team.

They've got a very good top end in Butters, Rozee, Horne and Bergman. 4 elite players. Unfortunately for them if falls away pretty quickly.

Bergman is seriously over rated .

Decent player but he needs to make massive strides to be considered elite .

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

we can only assume that maybe the dress ups where seen to be offensive in public

Either way - bans seem a little heavy handed

Sounds like bad taste dressups... like, Epstein, Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson...

 

[Vader]

With our hope of keeping our F1 and a F2 out of the Peatling deal does anyone think there could be any strategy other than wanting to trade it into this draft?

Keeping our options open for trading for Wanganeen-Milera next season?
Trying to position for Sharp - as unlikely as that would seem?

We won't be trading into this year's draft, as we don't have any list vacancies that could be filled in this way.

What strategies they have in place for the 2025 trading & drafting period... only time will tell!

JHF > Laird
Rozee > Sholl
Butters > Crouch
Aliir > Keane
Georgiades > Tex
Sweet > ROB
Bergman > Nank

That’d be who I’d take. Give me Rash over Rioli (yes I’m taking age into account)

 

[FR0GGY]

Which high profile Victorian team plays GWS in round 1...

Round 0 you mean

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Round 0 you mean

Probably both.

 

[FR0GGY]

Probably both.

Pies played Sydney in round 0 last year, their turn to play GWS you would think.

What I find funny is that last night some “itk” poster in the pear board said the deal was off and back to square one.
And all the lemmings lapped it up .
Less than 24 hours later , basically the same deal goes through

And this sane itk poster has also stated kern won’t be there next year

You don’t need to go over to the Pear board for that

[radiojake]

Why would anyone possibly care what a mob of footballers we’ve never met wear to a private party? Seriously, the world has gone mad. So many people just itching to judge others.

Again, how about waiting to find out what actually happened before having a whinge?

 

[DukeX]

What kind of skit/costume could possibly be so offensive to warrant a ban?
Blackface? Making fun of people with special needs? Those are about the only things I can think of.
The theme was 'famous couples', what fits within that scope?

Epstein?

 

[GameofSloanes]

And Port are stuck with Soldo for 2 more years who doesn’t want to be there

If it was us everyone would be pointing at players wanting to leave and saying there is a cultural problem. Media says nothing about port though......

 

[jackster83]

Epstein?

Diddy?

 

[GameofSloanes]

I don’t know why Rowey sucks up Ports arse so much? Is it to talk down Reid?

Not only that but was talking down our off season as well. Just added fringe players and wouldve been better off with draft picks or other nameless players apparently.
Meanwhile port have mid range picks and it's a master-stroke
