Going to be an unpopular opinion but think that people should be anonymous when they donate. Don't like the concept of telling people you have donated and how much.

I am just so happy people are donating and regardless of if they are anonymous or not, the money is going to a wonderful cause. This has been such an incredible effort by Big Footy and I am so proud.

I understand your argument in principle. In this case though, it's great for people to be able to "virtue signal" for a really good cause. I don't expect anyone here is bragging about their contribution but by stepping up, they are all hoping to encourage others to get on board and help if they can.

Well I went the anonymous route, but I couldn’t hold anything against those who didn’t. There’s no clear answer on that I don’t think. Some great rabbis have debated that very conundrum.

I didn't put my name on the donation, partly cos it was pretty small (but I plan on beefing it up next pay day.) But mostly cos it was the first one in months and if it took off I'd have doxxed myself.

I used my real name. My bf handle is probably not appropriate.

Or people are proud to get behind a particular fundraiser so they put their name to it and then promote it on Facebook, cos that's how gofundme works 🤷‍♂️
 
Interesting statement. Can you expand?

I think lots of people for a whole variety of reasons want to treat the Clarkson allegations as one off things done by "bad apples" that happened ages so they can be "dealt with" and we can move on.

I find it astounding that Geelong get to brag about how they handled Stengle when it isn't much different to what's in Egan/Jackson's allegations.

Where s the Stengle story - I haven't seen it.

Really?

Since moving from South Australia last November, Stengle has divided his time between living with Brandan Parfitt and Quinton Narkle just down the road from the club, and inside the Betts’ household in Melbourne, with Eddie, Anna and their five children, where he is treated like a prince.

"He loves it; he’s got a room in Melbourne and he’s got a room with Brandan Parfitt as well in Geelong. What a story. The barriers this young kid has had to overcome to where he is now is unbelievable."


It's a really polite way of saying they never let Stengle be by himself, he's got a permanent chaperone, he had to agree all kinds of conditions before they'd give a chance and Geelong gave Betts a job too.

It is all fine because it worked and he got a flag. But its still really paternalistic control and no matter how Geelong dress it up, if his footy wasn't up to scratch they would arseholed him at the end of the season and not given two shits if he ended up in jail and on the pipe.
