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

Be weird if he knew his Mum's favourite position TBF

The government does.

 

[Underarm]

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.

If mysoginstic journalists are going to ignore Womens sport, why shouldn't they take advantage of it?

Even in private they're representing their club and their sponsors, this is the verbal equivalent of getting busted doing a line of blow.

No. No it's not.

 

[Gough]

No. No it's not.

It is, they've committed capitalism's cardinal sin and damaged the brand.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

That must be it, we didn't get the paper delivered to my boarding school!

Actually the opposite, my family were all actually involved in media and journalism at some point so I'm pretty well informed. The difference being that the idiots didn't have a voice to express their thoughts other than letters to the editor.

Never caught an episode of Beauty And The Beast backing the day?

The Midday Show?

The 50-50 column in the Herald-Sun?


There's always been an outlet for scared, crusty old turds that want to whinge about how bad the world has become compared to back in their day.

Aren't they on annual leave?
Doing lines of blow tends to be illegal. Last time I checked making jokes about P Diddy wasn't.

Thats ****ing stupid and you know it.

Do you think GWS and their sponsors are loving all this at the moment?

True, but it was restricted to things you could avoid in mainstream media. What year was Big Footy invented? Probably where it all started to go down hill

Free speech, satire, humour all dead in this country.

Now Impersonating people will be the next crime. The E safety only fans commissioner needs to step in and sentence Toby Greene to jail because his lack of leadership led to some bartender having a Karen seizure.

Good country Australia farken

But you're exercising free speech and posting satire made up stories and fake rumours that's making us all laugh at you? Doesn't appear dead at all.

 

[Mudman85]

Probably the most press they will ever get in the West
I just had the urge to Google Toyo tyres Perth

Terrible equivalence

Nobody knew about it, it was private. This should have been ignored and the bartender told to GAGF (still should be even though this has leaked)

 

[HairyO]

GWS said there would be no punishment from their end. They clearly didnt take issue. They would be closer to their sponsors than any of us.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Massive stitch up here of the Giant’s boys.

Private function, players only present, dobbed in by a bloody drinks slinger who’s decided to be outraged by silly skits being done by drunk footballers.

What a load of crap.

 

[Bostonian]

Aware of a trans person? Tbh I know nothing about her except the budd lite thing.

What is so weird about her or just anyone trans a weirdo to you?

A grown adult carrying on like a teenage girl from the limited clips I've seen.

Pretty sure that equates to be a weirdo in the majorities eyes.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Do you think GWS and their sponsors are loving all this at the moment?

I genuinely believe if they've taken a human and common sense approach, then they wouldn't have the slightest problem with it.

Unless some very dodgy stories come to fruition about what was actually involved in these skits and why anyone on the outside should care, GWS and their sponsors will know that the majority of the population agree that the fines are absurd and will side with the players.

If anything, it could strengthen the brand.

It was skits from a movie so whatever was said has already been done. It's lunacy

Grown adults only allowed to be strong, silent, gruff VB loving, Winnie blues smoking men ey?

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

I imagine it would have been extremely difficult and you probably have a thick skin and much more resilient than the current generation.

This sounds like when my uncle used to say "Mental illnesss was never a thing back in our day. We just used to get on with i!''

When in reality, he was a raging alcoholic, was horribly depressed, used to beat his wife and his kids hated his guts.

But hey, things were better back on his day when everyone just got on with it!

'Impersonating Raygun' apparently causes embarrassment and offence and leads to a $20k fine.


Being Raygun apparently gets you an expenses paid trip to the Olympics where you embarrass and offend the entire nation.


One should kop a fine, and it isn't Toby Greene

There is a belief from many, in this case, that behaving like a child or younger person is a form of 'grooming' from a 'recruitment' sense, making the person more relatable or likeable to impressionable youth.

NOW, I'm not saying that. I just know that this is an argument.

It's more nuanced than 'she's just a weirdo'.

 

[Altum Volantes]

It was skits from a movie so whatever was said has already been done. It's lunacy

Biggest blight on the game since Adelaide ran a training exercise with 12 instead of 8 in the early days of COVID.

I rekcon we could go through Geelongs Wacky Wednesday costumes (or any others') and find someone who has taken offence to one of them..

IF all it was were inappropriate jokes and skits the AFL are the ones who have damaged their brand by going overboard with faux virtue signalling and outrage.

IMO most sane people could not give a shite re players going a little ribald at a players only drinking session.
