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

[bresker]

obviously jake stringer wasnt impressed

The Giants have given him a lifetime ban from the club. Just in case. Pour encourager Les autres.

 

[Saint12]

Am I the only one thinking I wish I was at that party

 

[Hawks1523]

Such a nothing story, the AFL is a laughing stock if any sort of punishment is handed out for this. What a crock of shit.

 

[Toump Ass]

As an AFL player, you are paid very well, but there is an expectation that you behave in a reasonable manner in public.
If GWS players wanted to play Diddy Freak Off Sex Party Blow Up Dolls they could have done it at a private residence and no one would have cared, but they did it in a public space and thus have to be penalised.

They have plenty of money, it's ok.

As an aside, I wonder if anyone CHOKED on the doll? Get it? GWS are chokers.
Pathetic effort to lose that Brisbane final.

 

[JackFlash]

Anyone from the entire suburb of Northcote should be banned from AFL games for life....!

Brisbane was just playing. They played us all for fools. All part of their master plan. The gall for them to get 44 points down and come back. So arrogant.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

If what they've alleged to have done is true, seems relatively tame to be honest

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

CBF reading through the thread but surely it is a beat up. Everything was done privately between teammates. Why is it a big deal? Also, if it was done so in a private function, who dobbed?

 

[IKnowtheDog]

This surely would have been better with a statement at the end of an investigation with penalties announced and reasons given rather than the hash that’s been delivered so far. If the issue is serious to headquarters then headquarters needs to treat it seriously.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Tomahawk went as the pole vaulter whose large penis knocked the bar off. On behalf of all people who also have large penises I'm offended.

Wouldn’t be out of place if he turned up to drag queen story time.

Good thing it was a private function for only the players.

If only they had gambling addictions the AFL would have instead quietly helped cover it up.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

One of the few precedents I can think of is Broady getting 3-4 game ban for circulating the picture of the chick with the mint cans with his premiership medal (face not shown)

Honestly I don’t think the GWS players would’ve done anything close to that.

They should choose to sit down during the first 2 mins of their first practice game to make a point of it.

Very big overreaction by the AFL deserves a overreaction from the players.

Weren't Diddy's parties 'private'?


I think people are putting way too much weight on the 'it was a private party thing'.

Done in by 1,000 bottles of lube. Surely GWS didnt do this too ?!?

 

[Toump Ass]

Except it wasn't a good thing, was it- because they had it at a venue with staff in attendance who were not part of the private guest list.

Could have just hired a party house on AirBnB like normal people do.

 

[Stottzy]

As someone that has worked in hospitality most of his life, it amazes me people still don't realise that hospitality staff aren't listening to secret conversations (spoken loudly in front of them) or that their function is actually "private" and shenanigans won't be repeated outside of the venue.

Did anyone get assaulted? No? Then it's not like a Diddy party at all.
Nothing illegal happened. If anyone is legitimately offended by a few off colour jokes, find a therapist.

 

[GFrost35]

Dressing up as the Twin Towers and accused sexual predator with a skit including a blow up doll in front of strangers (yes it is not private if hospitality staff are there)…
Morons.

 

[El Doederino]

I mean, having a “troubled couples” theme and going as the twin towers is pretty funny.

Stupid is as stupid does...

You don't get to claim that this doesn't represent the values of your club. The way a group of players act when they think no one is watching shows exactly what the underlying values of your club and your players are. Anything else is lip service.

"Some of the allegations are distressing" sounds like huge bans in the context of this seasons bans for homophobic abuse.

 

[Del198859]

User name to question posed really does check out

I'm happy to give them tips on setting one up.

 

[dropbear101]

How could this have happened under Chris Judds leadership, should he stripped him of the Brownlow!

Considering the tame shit that's been released and people are offended by it, excuse me for laughing at the "distressing" claims
