No Oppo Supporters 2024 AFL General Discussion

What are the odds that one of the boys that are leaving snitched on them.

I heard it may be a partner of one of the players……

The AFL isn't responsible for solving world hunger or a ceasefire in Gaza.

The fact that it was a private function and someone felt strongly enough to blow the whistle is a clue.

Do you think that nothing is out of bounds at a company Christmas party?

In modern society, there are those who delight in taking offence.

This sounds like a perennially offended type deciding to dob on people having a bit of politically incorrect but legal fun at a private party.

And if that’s the case - my view is that suspensions are unfair & quite frankly, a disgrace.

If more sinister details come to light, I’ll have a different view - but for now, it reeks of faux-outrage.

It's a disgrace when you've got no idea whatsoever what the behaviour might have been?

Given some of the popular stories in the media at the moment it doesn't require much imagination to see how badly this may have gone.

It was a “celebrity couples” dress up party & nothing illegal occurred, nor did it involve any members of the public.

That much has been reported.

But anyway, I’ll pipe down on this now - as we may (or may not) get more detail down the track. And I hate it when get myself all riled up over these things.

The good news - it’s going to hurt GWS. I can only imagine how p*ssed off the playing group will be with the club, if they dole out suspensions viewed as corporate moral posturing.

Probably not worth going heavy on the framing when we don't really know what it was.

There's certain things with different connotations that don't personally offend/hurt me, aside from the stupidity and lack of empathy of it, but I could see why it would be a personal problem for some, particularly in a social event for work. And that's only if it's aesthetics and not behaviour (which is also reported).

If it's at a hotel, even if it's a private event, it's in public though.

Unless someone set fire to a midget and shot them out of a cannon, I don't want to hear it.

In other words, you want to hear that they "set fire to a midget and shot them out of a cannon".

Brisbane players cheated on their partners in Las Vegas at end of season trip last year. Went on to win a flag this year.

Giants are now premiership favourites.

The world has far bigger problems than drunken footy players presumably doing some politically incorrect (but not illegal) things at a private function.

But of course, the AFL will once again prove themselves to be our self-appointed moral guardians.

Thankyou AFL, for without you, I would clearly not be on the path of true virtue and enlightenment.

So you'd be fine with, for example, racist chanting and a bit of casual blackface as long as it was a private function?

Fair enough.

I get it, and it's entirely possible that if the details come out I'd be right there with you saying it's overkill.

All I'm really saying is that I think there is a line, over which this sort of reaction might be warranted, even at a private function.

The barman lagged them .

Surely there’s more to the story than this?

I mean if they're joking about and re-enacting sexual assault (what Diddy is alleged to have done), at a public venue (hotel) even if it's a separate room, and at a work related function (given staff and possibly partners were there at various points) then it's not nothing.

I understand the trouble with Diddy but Raygun should be okay though?

Can't see dressups being a problem, but depends what, if anything was said or enacted about her.
