Scandal Martin groping/chopsticks/haircut scandal

[Herne Hill Hammer]

If I was Dusty I'd be looking at the relative anonymity of Brisbane or Sydney with some interest right now.

Or retirement.

 

[Jackington]

Meeting someone face to face = physically assault them does it?

You sound like a sick human being.

It's the implication here, no?

Or is Carringbush just gonna give them a piece of their mind! Which they'll laugh off at some member of the public rambling nonsense.

To be fair, I should've conveyed what my approach would be. I didn't, and given the high tension around these incidents it's a fair assumption on the part of Jackington

Thanks for defending me by the way.

Apologies to both of you, I should've been clearer.

That was your 1st thought.
So my assumption, assault is your 1st choice.

 

[Carringbush2010]

From a media perspective:

So the Dees punch on = mental health, let's give em a cuddle

Bailey Sniff = mental health, let's give him a cuddle

Dusty touches a stripper in a bar like 5 years ago = shhh! it's Dusty

Degs frolicking with a consenting girl he knows in his own private time = Degs is the antichrist, and cause of all domestic violence both hereafter and all time before his incident. Damn him to hell for eternity and the media is allowed to attempt to drive a wedge between him and the club.

The last is all oky doky Ok.

I'd be physically assaulted by the fumes emanating off Robbo

 

[Soggy2112]

and what about the mother,father,woman of the topless dancer,what about her choice to become a *tty bar girl ?
is that morally questionable ? where does it end ?

What?

Majority of people have no issue with him being at a function with strippers, it’s the possibility that he touched this woman without consent that is the issue.

I’m not saying he did, just that it’s a possibility and the club/league should be investigating this, they should also be looking into whoever distributed this footage and if it was done so without the woman’s consent.

 

[Taylor]

It's kind of bigoted to treat women as victims in everything. These footballers have a lot of money flying out of their pockets and are happy to drop a week's average pay into the purse of a woman to see her partially naked, maybe touch her a little bit.

As I said in another thread the physical contact in places where men are drinking happens a lot, and it's not fun, but if you choose to put yourself in that position to exploit these men's primitive brains by showing them your body and letting them touch you in exchange for a lot of money then good for you.

Exploiting men sexually for money is one of the most power moves a woman can pull with weapons she was born with, she doesn't need to be smart, she doesn't need to have connections or even work particularly hard.

I've been at football clubs where the topless bar girl is inviting people to feel her new implants, and they were too firm because you're wondering, and a video taken of that would look like a group of leering footballers copping a feel. At some stage we are going to have to take the lack of objection as being indicative of her not caring enough to react.

 

[Bostonian]

What arrant nonsense. So grabbing the breast of a female in a public place is doing nothing wrong? And because it’s only just surfaced, then it must have been ok to do that?

Your moral logic is seriously warped.

I'm guessing it was in a privately owned place, not in public.

 

[Couch Coach]

Has Caro come out and said Dusty should be sacked yet?

 

[Stax on the mill]

I'm guessing it was in a privately owned place, not in public.

Apparently it was a private function. That shouldn't exonerate Martin's behaviour though. He should be treating women with respect and not groping them, no matter where he is.

Just hope it doesn't take another 5 years before this year's stripper day at tigerland is leaked

[Mudman85]

Not that I think he should, but the easiest thing would be is put out a statement saying this incident is how ever many years old and I have since learnt with age and changing social attitudes that this is not appropriate behavior and not something I would do now… (until the video from last off season comes out)

At the end of the day if the female in question had a issue with it then it would have been dealt with. Also did media consult her prior to release of the video? Outing her as a stripper or topless waitress may have been something she didn’t want made public.

Yet here you are not treating this woman with respect and thinking you know whats best for her.

 

[sosos]

I would really like to meet that lot face to face.

Got some hands to throw?

 

[Soggy2112]

You’re both arguing based on two different sets of assumptions.

 

[Kapital city TIGER]

Bit of talk about the suspicion of the video being leaked on the day of the final as something to spite Richmond and Dusty

Is it possible that Richmond and Martin leaked video themselves as it was doing the rounds and would have eventually become a massive story in the near future? It’s a headline story today, but 4 massive finals begin tonight and by Sunday this story will be forgotten. Seems like impeccable timing in an attempt to minimise scrutiny and have it swept under the rug.

Remember the chopstick saga that was the biggest story in that offseason. This would be a significantly bigger headline in the offseason

Err no, that was flipping disgraceful, this is nuthin.

 

[AvantGardener]

Not really. Whether the girl is fine with what Martin did, or whether she isn't fine with what Martin did that poster has still assumed responsibility for dictating if it was respectful of her or not.

 

[Kapital city TIGER]

Martin gropes a stripper…
Richmond supporters, “ what’s the big deal? It’s consensual. Media beat up. Nothing to see here. They hate us cos they ain’t us. Grope anyone you want dusty”

Essendon player gropes a stripper
Richmond supporters, “this is disrespectful and against the policies of the AFL. Poor form. What a s**t pot club. This would never happen at a quality club like the tiges.”

Checks out

[Carringbush2010]

So still no news from Caro, pencil neck Whately, stoop mcclure, or fheadmund? Or the tigers CEO, see the tigers don't contradict their players (throw em under a bus) or say anything at all.

Must be different narratives for different clubs I guess.

Pies = antichrist

Everyone else = Ok
