Does it start with "J"?

In the spirit of those trade rumours many years ago....

Met the sister years ago when said player was dominating at the lower level but never getting a look in at the big leagues. Seemed like a pretty nice family but you still can't avoid a bad egg.

I met the family many years ago during their alignment.

I’m still utterly shocked that a ****ing swear word was a bigger news story & more important to discuss for days on end than the bump that occurred during a praccy on a team captain & the expectation was nobody, players or coaches can respond to that in any way.

If that doesn’t make you take a step back and realise this is all one big corrupt debacle of a sport I don’t know what will.

I don’t think ya can blame it on just the sport. It’s the usual garbage the world cares about now.

Well, how was Clarko to know that calling people a "stupid white bastard" makes you a national hero and a c***sucker is crossing the line?

I don’t think the internal memo of approved sledges & insults in earshot of anyone that AFL house is working on has been sent out yet.

Word on the street is the list is very short and juvenile.

Doo-doo head, dummy, and lame-wad are a few of the approved insults.

Reminds me of when my old boss asked the security team for the list of websites that were banned at work.

Imagine if Clarko had brought up the days takings on the back of a cab first....

Funny to see how the media, damo, and co have reacted to someone who had to take time out of the game for mental health issues after being completely ****ed by the organisation.

And these guys don’t see the how they’re not the bullies?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Can't believe just how easily the media have allowed Webster to skate by, just because Clarko said a word that would be bleeped before 10pm.
Barely any of them going with the homophobic slur angle either, so it's clearly more about punishing Clarkson than actually standing for something.

Heheh to be fair I realized its better for my mental health to stay away from footy in the off season as well. Future husband has decided to be a north supporter so who knows maybe I'll get him on here one day.

Or ripped off the aerial and threw it in the taxi driver's face.

If Clarko had the same history as the Kerrs, Matthew Lloyd would be advocating prosecution for a hate crime, as clearly there is a history of bias against taxi drivers.

I was pointing out who each player was during the st kilda game, he said Jy Simpkin is a very attractive man, moments later the captain got decapitated by a sniper, perhaps its better if Mr kangaroo cat stays well away.. Last thing we need is him commenting on Warlords quads or Duursma's hands.

So it was all because of you 2.

I heard he also commented in early 2002 that Wayne Carey is handsome and remarked in 2022 that JHFF has "a certain impish trailer park charm".

Pride in sport. Are they ****ing serious.

This society's obsession with immediately assuming a person's attitudes based on one sole ****ing thing is nauseating, man. Pitchforks always out, looking for outrage. Get ****ed

North Melbourne today received notice from the AFL that coach Alastair Clarkson has been found to have engaged in 'conduct unbecoming' during his altercation with St Kilda players last weekend.

As a result of the finding, Clarkson has a received a two-week suspension (wholly suspended for two years), a $20,000 fine and he will be required to attend appropriate Pride in Sport training as approved by the AFL.

Clarkson again apologised for the incident and said he accepted the League’s finding.


"At the outset, I want to reiterate my initial public apology and acknowledge that my exchange with the St Kilda players was unnecessary and the language I used was inappropriate," Clarkson said.

"I am disappointed that I allowed the emotion of the moment to envelope me and I should not have engaged with the St Kilda players.

"I have since apologised to St Kilda coach Ross Lyon, Jimmy Webster

for the manner in which I reacted.

"This has been a significant reflective moment for me. My language was not used with any intent to vilify or marginalise, however through this incident I have begun to understand the impact of the use of casual language. I am fully committed to educating myself in this regard.

"In terms of my reaction to the incident involving Jy (Simpkin), I have been doing some work to understand why I respond in the manner I do, but also to develop strategies I can implement in these moments."

North Melbourne CEO Jennifer Watt said the club accepted the AFL’s determination and that Clarkson was remorseful for his actions.

"As Alastair has identified himself, his behaviour and the language he used was unacceptable and he has taken responsibility for that," Watt said.

"He has now received a significant sanction from the AFL as a result of his conduct.

"We also acknowledge that Alastair has reflected on how he responds to incidents like we saw on Sunday, and we’ll support him as he seeks to be better in those situations."

Another victory for the professionally outraged.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Shouldn’t be any fine

If anything Webster should cop a fine on top of his suspension

Hawks can pay the fine out of the millions they will owe clarko for the report farce last year
