Ah yes ADHD. When I see two boobs my ADHD won't let me concentrate until I pull them out so they become only one pair of breasts. This totally explains De Goeys behaviour...

I have ADHD and I work as a doctor. It took me a while to get diagnosed with it as a teenager. I would have to work doubly hard to understand things my peers would get easily. I just thought I was dumb. Luckily I had a good school teacher who suggested I get tested and now that I am on medication my grades shot up and I got through med school. I never acted like an impulsive shit mistreating people around me when I had untreated ADHD. I am thankful this diagnosis exists. I wonder how many people have abandoned their studies thinking they were stupid instead of just undiagnosed ADHD. I just hate how this diagnosis is now used to excuse poor behaviour and general assholery.

Strongly disagree with blaming the club for De Goey's bad behaviour. It's just typical of society consistently blaming other people/organisations for their wrong doing. Our culture here in Australia is to never put our hands up and take responsibility for anything. Even in the workplace now, a person could be stupid enough to put his hand in something that could remove it from his arm and it would be a workplace fault rather than an idiot move by the worker. Time to take responsibility for what he does...not switch it over to someone else.

I didn't blame them for his behaviour which is his responsibility and captured on video and whilst not totally acceptable isn't at the high end of repulsion. I do blame them for their management and mentoring of him which has fallen short. He should have suffered a square off of some description if he was determined to go to Bali in the mid season break for 4 days. Prevention is better than cure and he had form.

I wonder if he'll make McStay a party boy.
 
Tbh I couldnt care that much about how much of a party animal players are off the field. It would be stupid to expect a bunch of cashed up 20 something's to not burn that cash on booze and partying.

For me it's why a senior, perhaps most important player, is taking a 4 day holiday to Bali mid season. Screams unprofessional for me.

McStay and Rayner liked De Goey's instagram post - which is still up despite the 'apology' yesterday.

I think your summary of the incident is pretty accurate - a bit gross but if consensual it isn't the biggest thing in the world. But the problem is he has alleged form for poor behaviour towards women. A prosecution withdrawn for indecent assault in 2021 is not a court verdict of guilt or innocence, and he pled guilty in the US to harassment (after more serious charges were downgraded). Both incidents occured at nightclubs/clubs.

Of course there was going to be scrutiny on him and frankly, he deserves it.

Wonder what his training regime was like while he was in Bali ?

without the US incident, no-one would be batting an eyelid at the Bali trip, however much it screams stupid boy.

That's the thing though, once an 'elite/privileged' person screws up they are held to higher, reformed standards.

And they all know that, it's how is always been and it goes with the territory. He just chooses to not accept that and to continue to live his way.

He should also then be ready to accept the backlash. Or at the very least, not to post or let stuff be posted. Or get better party people. Ones who won't post videos in public forums.

Have you looked at what’s available on Airbnb?

Depending if you want walking distance or a short Uber, anywhere between Southbank and Kangaroo Point.

I’d stay in the CBD or Southbank and then catch the free bus (5min) to the Gabba. You can basically get on any bus.

Just read on AFL.COM English will miss this week's match against Hawks with concussion and could also miss against us seeing the match is on a Thursday night. We seem to be getting a continuous run of opposition outs lately.

I have been burnt by air bnb a few times now. This most recent trip when I went up for the Saints game, the cancelled on us 9 days before we flew up. We booked it months in advance. Safe to say there were bugger all available for remotely the same budget, and it’s not like this one was cheap. I am just about done with them!
