Player Watch Jordan De Goey

[MyManLynch]

I’ve know a couple of fringe level AFL players and they are that well drilled on want you can’t do in relation to social media. His profile now will mean he’s always going to have some nuff filming him on nights out. If he wants 800k plus a year he’s got some decisions to make I guess.

Which disguise to wear…

If the club suspends Jordie because of media pressure it is simply feeding the beast and encouraging more of this nasty media behaviour. The same journos who write endlessly about players mental health do their best to destroy their reputations and careers . We just had a round dedicated to that very issue but still they pile on like sharks in a feeding frenzy.

 

[MyManLynch]

A member of our leadership group has a very strict no phones policy when he's partying with mates. Not really sure why he hasn't imparted that wisdom on Jordy.

An unwritten Footy Club (players) rule…
The old ‘What happens in Vegas’ rule.

If Mihocek wants to Climb Mount Everest, walk across the Sahara desert then swim the English Channel during his 4 day break…then he is allowed.
The Club do not hold Players passports in a safe.
Assume the Club just asked you to advise where you will be (for their own info & ASADA requirements?)

nb not sure if there are ‘dangerous sport/activity’ clauses in player contracts…I’ve never read one

Players have a duty under the SPC not to engage in any dangerous or hazardous activity included but not limited to blah blah - but one of the inclusions is, wait for it, soccer!

You think DeGoey is a very good player because of his mindset? If Pendles had DeGoeys physical attributes he would be the greatest player in the game.

To me he already is the greatest. 10.

shhh…it’s Jordan’s fault apparently….
Until he plays the mental health card get out jail free that is

the only stat he is "elite" at is clearances. he is 42nd in the AFL at clearances and behind the likes of Prestia, Lyons, Keys, Anderson, Simpkin, Cotchin and Shiel. the gun mids are over 6.5 clearances a game.

he is an ok midfielder but he as a pure mid he won't command massive trade capital.

his value is a forward who play can play midfield in bursts and kick 3 or 4. if that's who you are trading its a different discussion.

Those are the stats from club site.

If 4.6 is elite then those over 6.5 must be super elite.

If De Goey had any insight into his own situation and character, he would try for a trade to Sydney, where his behaviour would attract less interest and hence publicity. We are a staid lot down here in Melbourne, so PC and straight that we demand the highest fines in the country because we love to be controlled.

Makes sense.
Soccer obviously included when crowds were throwing darts & coins (many moons ago).

We beg for it

We beg for it

Too much woke BS in Melbourne

 

[Maggie5]

Not sure you can ban him for being an idiot.
Female involved not complaining, club sanctioned trip, no ban on his drinking. Situation normal.

Those of you that liked my post you may need to reconsider as I am not defending JDG, think he is an idiot that has been at the club since 2015 and at 26 needs to grow up as I am sick of his antics.

After 7 years he should be a role model that the younger players can look up to and I think the club has been more than patient with him. I seriously couldn't care if he isn't there next year.

I want to read news on my club, prospective draft picks, training, wins, losses not about fools.

He is already locked in a tower

It is Bentham’s Panopticon

Perfect surveillance supposedly producing perfect behaviour

The metaphor of an omniscient God


Bedwetters love encroaching on the civil liberties of others until surveillance is turned on them

We do not. Leave us to change the sheets in peace. Bladder controllers are always taking cheap shots.

I thought that with the NY hotel room moronic shite. But in a bar in Bali, he's not just partying with mates. How does he enforce no phones if he wants to go to a bar like that - he can't.

SCG would suit him well too

We are the ‘Nanny State’…but it never seems to become an election issue?
Which indicates we are comfortable with that.
I know that I’m not.

I guess…if people start videoing you/his group, you ask them nicely to stop, if they don’t, then leave & go elsewhere.
The price of fame.

Not to mention the danger of scoring an own goal for Colombia.

Yes, but if Degoey had Pendles's hand eye coordination, speed of thought and spacial awareness, he'd be the greatest player in the game - with or without a night out in Bali.

Surely jdg is jdg, don't think he'll change.
Not sure many are defending him, just pointing out the ridiculous hyperbole from the media.

Footy players are Footy players, jdg is jdg.

Think most here are telling the media to GAGF.

Even if he did get to Sydney or anywhere for that matter the headlines would still read ex pies star De Goey is in trouble again

Collingwood sells

JDG is just Dustin Martin without the AFL issued Media Proof Accolade Armour.

I think that's asking for trouble. If you're a nobody, like he is to most of the world, don't **** with a millenium's embryonic connection to their device. I think he's basically just got to pull his head in when out on the town. Sucks, but that's the job, particularly with his profile and reputation in Australia.

 

[Gone Critical]

Just announce the team for Sunday now, with him in it. Would be awesome.

Perfect response
