Really?
I did read he was retaliating to threats in an article.
Is that much, if any worse?

Would be appalling by the AFL and Pettard if he was having a go at McGinnity, yet McGinnity was sanctioned for a mother comment.
They seemed to be going at it but Pettard is facing away from the camera a lot of the time.
If true though he should man up and admit he also took part in the verbal exchange.

Yep, can see that happening with a "shocked" Garry and Jim sitting by his side saying "settle down Sam".
If this new revelation is true the one week suspension is a great effort by the WCE football club

I bet much worse things have been said on the footy field. Instead of acting like a 9 year old school boy dobbing on McGinnity, Petterd should've let his play do the talking. I'd be embarrassed to have someone that soft at my club.
The AFL would never be lenient on a case like this. They'd either be right on the money, or go over the top. I sense the latter, so I seriously doubt the comment had anything to do with rape.
Yep, not blaming Ricky here but a lifetime of crowd "how's your mum" jokes he can now look forward too
I wonder if us supporters can now be evicted from the stadium when we do get stuck into him

If it's just "I ****ed your mum" then the father has a case to answer for saying McGinnity needs to grow a brain, surely that's the type of slanderous vilification we are trying to eradicate with the respect and responsibility policy

Well if he did good for him. Still pathetic to dob on someone. Wonder what he said to get McGinnity to say whatever he said.

Nope, go have a look on Demonland if you wish. (it may be a lie, but I sure as hell didn't make it up)
Personally I don't think it makes him look 'mentally weak' either way.

Double standards much. If you are so sensitive about the whole issue then maybe you should rethink your approach and stop perpetuating the issue. No **** doesn’t mean you actually didn't call everyone derogatory words. It just means you think you're clever. Which you’re obviously not.
Except for gambling, that's cool 'cause AD enjoys the punt.

FFS, these are adults.

Unless he thought Pat was serious (in which case report it to the police as a threat).
If he didn't think the rape thing was an actual legitimate threat then tell Pat he is an idiot and go get the footy.
Well he didn't handle it like an adult at all, did he?
ThePuppetMaster
Yay
I don't think either did, but they had a talk over the phone like adults and McGinnity apologized.

I agree with punishing players who go too far with the sledging.
People need to understand that if McGinnity had said shit in years gone by, he would've received a punch in the face. The matter would've been resolved then and there. If he'd said this in any other walk of life, he would've been punched in the face.
AFL players have at least 5 cameras on them at all times and the AFL come down really hard on anyone who throws a punch. Much tougher than other sporting leagues. The AFL suspend players for 4-6 weeks, whereas in other codes they'd only get 1-2.
No doubt, people like Sam Newman will get stuck into the AfL and question what the world is coming to, but they forget that footy in the old days was played under the Law of the Jungle. Players were able to "square up" and get retribution in the packs or when everyone was looking the other way.
There is no place for the neanderthal low-life sledging that goes on in Australian football. The old-school attitude that "anything goes" is a relic of the past. I applaud the AFL for trying to stamp it out. There is no doubt, idiots will say things today that nobody would've dreamed of saying years ago. Adam Selwood's shit comments about Des Headland's daughter is a classic example.
This is sport. It's football. It's not f***in war. It may seem like war to the "combatants" but it's a sporting contest. Players should not have to put up with this type of crap. They should act like men and show respect to one another.

You doubt the comment because then that would make McGinnity look like scum and petterd have a reason to be upset. Wouldn't want to wreck a good 40 page thread now.
From what I've read if the statement is
"I f****d your mum" People believe McGinnity a hero & petterd a sook
If the statement is
"I'm going to rape your mum" where does everyone stand with that esp. West Coast supporters. Still thinks that's ok, open slather.
And let's not say I don't believe he said because unless we ask the umpire what he reported then noone at this point knows for sure, except all the new educated lip readers that have appeared and I'm sure we can see the whole vision. NOT.
If it is true the second statement, then noone can condone that statement, surely and if you do think that's sledging, then I question mark your views on women and general socities value's.
