Lmfao, bit of a stretch to compare the two. Didn't realise the the Richmond FC gave birth to Jake King. As long as he isnt going around doing criminal activities or what have you, it shouldn't be anyone's business who he hangs out with. What would you do if your boss told you to stop seeing your best mate because he had a problem with him?

Think your coming at this from the wrong perspective. When you sign up to a club who pays you several hundred thousand dollars a year you have a responsability to not only the club, but the league itself. If he want's to hang out with scum in his own time that's fine, but when you bring that scum into your workplace their is an issue. Only a moron couldn't see that.

This is clearly the beginning of the agenda that is going to dominate the off season (and maybe even most of 2014).

Vlad is to smart to just drop this out of the blue, this is a deliberate "softening" up campaign for a larger issue that is going to come in the next few weeks/months.

What larger issue?

I agree with that.

But Richmond haven't said to King "do not bring this person to the club" he has been told to "end the association". That is telling people who they can and can't be friends with.

Exactly this. I'm cool with saying "Dont bring him into our workplace". No issue with that at all. But being told not to hang out with him at all...
 
Only on bigfooty would you get people standing up for the right to invite people with membership of known criminal organisations.

If I was a parent of a a young player I would not want guys like that hanging around influencing my son.
 
Can't wait for tomorrow's Richmond article.

King and Martin forgot to put their rubbish bins last week. Demetriou crucifies their actions.

Bad luck guys next time just set a dwarf on fire, Andrew will think its a pisser.

Shady types ingratiate themselves and the next thing you know, you have a West Coast situation. Love King's spirit but I don't understand how he could think this was a good idea (unless he already owed a favour).

Doubt a favour, probably he's a bit of a poser trying to be hard.

Bikies just expanding their network...not their fault people love the fast life
 
So what do they do if Dusty's Dad wants to visit the rooms?
 
King will keep hanging out with Mitchell, and Richmond won't give a stuff. They're just telling him to cut the ties publicly so they don't risk sponsorship issues and because all AFL players are meant to be upstanding citizens.

This won't change a thing, and Richmond'll turn a blind eye so long as it doesn't come out in public.
 
It will be Jakes funeral if he wants to hang out with this piece of utter human scum so who cares. Mitchell will be dead in a year anyway hopefully, oxygen thief of the highest order


I can undertsand the dislike of Mitchell. As Didsy showed, Collingwood are more aligned with the HAs.
 
Bad look, don't want this bloke any where near our younger guys, who kingy wants to hang out within his own time is up to him. In King's defence though this guy has put up with some serious shite in his life that won't be repeated on big footy. I respect the guy, he's a genuine and honest bloke... Has always been great on family days with my nephews and has a very level head. However he got I wrong in this situation. Everyone move on
