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

[checkraiseulite]

No one.

It was not an AFL event. It was a private function for men who play together in a football team.

Ultimately, I will concede this point - the appropriateness of the AFL issued sanctions and fines entirely depends upon how this event was classified.

Was it actually a private event for a group of men who simply play together in a football team? (If yes, there is no room for AFL intervention).

Was it a Greater Western Sydney Giants Football Club event? (If yes, then perhaps leave it up to the club).

Or was it an Australian Football League event to be attended by people who play for the GWS Giants Football Club? (If yes, then perhaps yes indeed, the AFL has jurisdiction to impose their own standards of behaviour to the attendees at the event).

will be interesting to see what the players association do. unless i've missed something the correct answer is nothing so far.

if this was a bigger club or not such an easy target in toby green et al you would think there would have been more support by now.

I mean I'd say anyone having a whinge about "woke culture" is offended. Probably a bit of a snowflake too

No, I think they may be genuinely concerned with the ongoing erosion of our freedoms in an ostensibly free society.

Apparently the players association pressured to get the initial fines and suspensions reduced

As every captain in the AFL would of.

No way Cotchin would have.

Serious assault, robbery - okay in your eyes.

Joke in bad taste - not okay in your eyes.

Got it.

That was when he was young and had a shite upbringing , don't be a campaigner.

Its alright he should go back to the Israel thread

Maybe they can come up with a better use for their time than yearning for a time when humping a sex doll while dressed up as a man that was charged with rape was totally cool and normal.

That was the first thing that came to mind?

Function Room Booking Terms and Conditions | Botanica Bar

this is what a normal pub t+c's look like.

pay the fee, don't be drunk or you'll be cut off, don't trash the joint and pay the fee if you want to bring your own cake.

not sure there's any duty not to subjectively offend the barstaff with jokes not directed at them.

"The client is expected to conduct their function in a legal and respectable manner, and is responsible for the conduct of its guests and invitees."

How much clearer do you need it to be?

He just sounds as if he’s becoming a bit hysterical

 

[Satan]

Other than 1 player suspended the other suspended players arent household names unless you are a gws fan or you have them in your supercoach team as a cheap reserve

The PA Helped downgrade most penalties. Initially it was going to be 6 weeks for Fahey.

looks pretty grey to me. sure this was all raised after the money had been spent and before they were asked to stop at the time.

 

[kaiserchief13]

I wasn’t born when WW2 took place, but I sure as shit wouldn’t make a joke about the holocaust.

Valid point

It was actually CCTV lol

 

[Mudman85]

But he was.
And that is the issue.

What's the issue with dressing as Jarrod Hayne?

 

[Mudman85]

Grown men are threatening to boycott a pub and the AFL because their rape culture mascots are facing consequences.

Are they not perennially offended?

So how many weeks should Dusty have got for chop sticks and grabbing the strippers boobs?

 

[Carringbush2010]

Some posters in this thread, no wonder we're 50+ pages in, some just like being outraged I guess.

I have Jewish relatives and still often do

 

[sydney_gws]

Valid point

The narrative is wrong here. No jokes about WW2 deaths ,or posing as a Nazi or Jap soldier.
70million people died. Hitler was evil, started off killing his own countries disabled people, then gays, romani etc. Probably 30 million orthodox, 20 million Catholic, 10 million protestants by religion.
