Rumour Multiple GWS players are set to be suspended to start the 2025 season after distasteful costumes and skits from their post-season function

[FlowersByIrene]

The penalties are over the top for sure.

But then immediately saying that a person complaining about something they found offensive deserves JAIL TIME is just nuts. Not seeing the hypocrisy at all.

The complainer has impacted these players financially and threatened their career - causing potential psychological damage. The type of financial and psychological damage that witnessing an untasteful joke cannot cause. In my mind, that action is the equivalent of assault - going out of your way to make the life of someone else worse just because you got offended is pretty ****ing disgusting behavior and shows someone so absent any moral fibre to their person.

Can, vs will.

But you Implied suck my balls jokes about Scomo are funny & acceptable. You need to have compassion for the people who never had the choice & were forced to give a gobby.
That's not something you or anybody else should be joking about

 

[SplintWhisky]

Forcibly shoving your penis in someone's Mouth is still rape. Have some compassion for the Victims

You can have compassion for victims. However, it is crazy to think that they are owed any special treatment or compassion if they overhear a comment from a private conversation or get told about something (that wasn't about them) after the fact and get offended.

Arrh I see Cooper Hamilton suspended

From what Uni or something

 

[burge13]

Who are your go to 'Comedians' for a laugh, Hannah Gadsby?

Gillis, Normand, Carr, Kevin Burns for some. There are 100s funnier than Ari who is genuinely unfunny but is Joe's mate (also unfunny)

Stop play acting at being offended

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Lads in their 20s end of season doing dumb stuff should be perfectly fine if they are not breaking the law.

Making fools of themselves shouldnt be punishable.

But it's conduct unbecoming of the game.

Aka the AFL is hitting them because bad press or something like that.

FBI with a classic DARVO variant

 

[justlookingaround]

Fahey must've done something absolutely disgusting

 

[andy_20]

Stop play acting at being offended

I am genuinely offended by your implications

 

[FlowersByIrene]

FBI with a classic DARVO here

I hadn't seen this term before.

Weird that you think the complainant is the victim here.

Not surprising with your character.

Ari's skit about offering Boat Trips back to Africa was pretty funny.
I don't watch much Comedians at all, but I'll respect any joke I laugh at, even if I loath that Comedian

 

[T2B_]

Had to lol at the complainer being lauded for "courage" by Dillon

 

[Ghost Patrol]

[dmc333]

Surely we get to hear who the couples were so we can appropriately judge?

 

[Crowbling]

What a joke.

I mean.... the staff member has gone through cctv footage and watched the footage of their private event then reported what they've seen, that is questionable conduct for mine.

Like what is the thought process there if not because you've got an axe to grind?

As I mentioned a few pages back, all this will do, is force Team wind ups Underground like NRL

How do you know what a player/s may have said or done to this staff member?

 

[FreoRicci]

Greene fined once again.

 

[andy_20]

Greene fined once again.

Will be interested to see if the players Fined/Suspended take it to Court

 

[justlookingaround]

How do you know what a player/s may have said or done to this staff member?

Is it fair to speculate on that since it's not been alleged they reported anything of that regard, did they?
You'd assume they'd report things they saw directly since they were so eager to report things they only witnessed through the security cams...

 

[Ghost Patrol]

You'd assume they'd report things they saw directly since they were so eager to report things they only witnessed through the security cams...

At the same time, you are assuming that the people doing racist and rape jokes are victims?

Not just you btw, many others doing the same.

 

[justlookingaround]

So Fahey got the longest suspension for simulating sexual violence.
I think that's probably fair.
