So many on this thread really are scraping the bottom of the "human being barrel". No danger of them showing any class any time soon.

Thanks Bunting.So many on this thread really are scraping the bottom of the "human being barrel". No danger of them showing any class any time soon.
hrough a statement released by the Eagles, McGinnity said he “deeply regretted” the words he used and said the heat of the moment was “no excuse” for “overstepping the mark”.
It has been reported that McGinnity told Petterd he was going “to sleep with his mother”.
Dont think thats right. Umpires would not have actioned it without checking with petterd first. and it was clear he kept going on about it. so then umpries had no choice.because it's incredibly disrespectful. It's not a threat as such, it's just a vile thing to say. I ****ed your mum haha is one thing, but I'm going to rape your mother is entirely another, I think everyone would agree with that. It has nasty violent undertones and is beyond the pale.
The umpires were right there and heard it. I don't know whether Petterd pursued it or not, but it doesn't matter.
Once it was heard by the umpires, they felt they had a responsibility to take it further, and the process and sanction is as I said earlier entirely consistent with the respect to women policy the AFL has.
I don't think it's fair in any way to blame Petterd for this being actioned the way it has tbh.
"There's no way that Ricky Petterd should be embarrassed, or in any way portrayed as the villain in this," Anderson told The Age.
"He recognised, as any reasonable player should, that it was completely inappropriate.
"And if anything he should be praised rather than criticised for bringing to the attention of the umpire something that was clearly wrong."
Over the last four years I have watched as Lance Uppercut has slowly transformed into just another JimDocker.
Latte lefties cum moral wowsers seem to follow a similar philosophical progression.
It is very sad, imho.
So in the end, Paddy has a dirty mouth and Ricky can be got to by sledging.
Sort of fits the WCE/Melbourne - Scum of Earth/Soft stereotypes.
Wasn't Paddy's dirty mouth in response to a sledge from Ricky that got to him?
Boot
Other foot
You join the dots.
I am more worried about McGinnity's Manage,r ex player David Sierakowski in a newspaper article calling Petterd soft.
Unsure that Sierakowski should be involved in this issue - outside of counselling McGinnity.
Maybe McGinnity got his lines from Sierakowski !

Peronally, I am beginning to think that the like's of you are pathetic!
So it is now being reported he said he would sleep with his mother and not "rape".
Would they?You would think it must be the latter or surely the HUN would have had to take it down by now?

Umm McGinnity responded to a clearly over the top, antagonistic and unrealistic sledge with one of his own? (generally how it goes with sledging, in professional sport..)
So it is now being reported he said he would sleep with his mother and not "rape".
Would they?
The HUN originally reported this is what they were "told".
Told by who?
In the video it looks like he says "I will **** your mother".
But nobody has come out and conclusively denied or confirmed what was said.

In the video he says a lot of things, some you can see, some you can't. Its the wild out of control look in his eyes I found the most disturbing. Clearly a short circuit up top somewhere in that boy.
