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

Ah, the elusive Zoomer appears.

So happy for you that mummy and daddy gave you everything on a silver platter. Rejoice in that.

Bahaha my mummy and daddy have given me nothing other than common sense and resilience of an adult, rather than acting like a toddler when someone says something mean.

As I mentioned early, nothing anyone here can say will offend me.

People are so spiteful these days. Couldn't possible comprehend someone works harder or is more reasonable than they are. Everyone must hate everyone else for having fun and doing better than me.

Cripes, the number of people complaining about digital privacy laws.

Wait until you hear about drivers licences.

Sad isn't it.

This entire thing is living rent free in my mind.

That probably won't change until 1 of 2 things happen.

1. We hear what the actual problem was, because so far 'somebody dressing up as Raygun' isn't cutting it as an issue.

Or 2. The players are exonerated.


Also, just to throw some fuel on the fire, if this was an AFLW Mad Monday would we have ever heard anything about it?
I've heard some stories from girls footy trips and netball Mad Monday's that might surprise some people who assume it's only the blokes who are capable of acting indecently.

Serious question....

How did you feel when the Australian government introduced Digital privacy laws worse than China's?

They introduced laws that allows police and the government to demand access to all your data based on a suspicion only. Nothing more. No warrant required.

This includes your social media accounts, your phone, everything.

The company storing your data must hand it over. If anyone tells you that this is happening, they are committing a criminal offence. So you will never know it's happened.

How did you handle this extraordinary breach of our freedoms in our nanny state?

I might be a minority here but I am all for it. If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about.

If the government have access to everyone's information they can potentially stop terrible events and criminal activities before they even happen.

I assume they would be tracking key words/photos for extreme criminal activity through an AI system and send certain pings to investigators to review.

On a small scale I constantly tell my partner (when her phone is in another room ect.) when she asks if she can use my phone that she doesn't have to ask, you know my pin, just use it.

Nothing to hide, nothing to worry about. Simple. And it's for the greater good!

Fines in the AFL are getting insane. Imagine if your employer tried to fine you 3% of your annual pre-tax salary (say $3,000 for the average Australian, which is the equivalent of a $20,000 fine for a player on $600k) you'd tell them to get completely ****ed.

I guess you fail to see the irony and hypocrisy of individuals telling everyone to "harden up" and "stop being offended", when they simply were lucky enough to win the birth lottery and be born male, white and in a first world country. They've never faced any adversity or racism in their lives.

Your other post is probably the worst straw man so far in this thread. The players clearly have media, appearance and disrepute clauses in the EBA and their contracts. This is simple stuff you could google. The "average Australian" doesn't appear in the media through out the year.

You're hilarious. Go whine about your lot in life to the mirror.

The elders here will remember the outrage over the Australia Card.

 

[RBW_007]

Don't know why but I had a feeling Raygun would be involved somehow.

The GWS players should know better though. You just can't go around and have a good time with your mates at a private function and not expect people to be outraged at your antics. /s

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Me and Chad have had some pretty serious disagreements over the years but he suspended his account for two weeks after Hawthorn made finals this year in response to this bet.

He held up his end of the bet.

He made the bet of a month. As per image posted.
With multiple people. A month is not 13 days. He absolutely did not “hold up his end”
The month started on Sept 6. It was due to finish on Oct 6. He was posting again on Sept 20.

Weak as PI55

As if they don't have the info they need already anyway. Like you say if you got nothing to hide they not going to be looking at you.

Same people post their entire life on socials and then complain about privacy.

That's fine.

You trust the government to do the right thing, and you're prepared to give up a fundamental freedom for what you believe to be something that is good for society.

Each to their own.

I like the people who publicly live on fb with everything on there but are scared to answer phone calls from a private number

"it could be a scammer"

You pleb, your identity is there to steal if hackers want it, you're giving most of it away anyway. Answer the phone

 

[ferball]

When people minded their own business and weren't outraged for others

LOL. When the **** did that ever happen?

Keep blaming "left wingers" for stuff you don't like. Or grow up. Up to you.

People say they don't have anything to hide and therefore aren't worried about privacy - until you ask them how much money they make, or what their favourite sexual position is, etc.

Everyone values privacy, just to varying degrees.

Should the government have access to all that, whenever they want, without your consent or knowledge?

That's certainly up for debate.

Pre internet haha

They're probably referring to pre 50's segregation that they've read somewhere. Not sure what else that entitled white male 39 yo could be referring to. Maybe their time at boarding school?

They also get all their news and conspiracy theories from FB too.

 

[Blue1980]

Anyway, I’ve known people who’ve worked at mad Mondays before and these events are usually totally locked down. Bar staff aren’t allowed to have their phones on them and players don’t take pics.

Guessing a staff member at the venue saw something that offended them so badly they contacted the club?

Giants should’ve been smarter picking their venue. There’s places that host literal orgies that black out the windows for you. Amateur hour over here.

Thing is if you were a bartender at an orgy, would probably take some super crazy shit for you to report it.

You obviously have no idea what the digital privacy laws are.

So the good old times when you were
..checks notes.... 9 years old?

 

[Blue1980]

They're reading children's books. I've been to one with my 4-year-old.

People who think dragtime story hour is sexual seem to be projecting if anything.

120k and my favourite sexual position is stock standard missionary but if it's my birthday definitely doggy!
