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

[srobbo]

Why? So the business can be destroyed?

when they’re sabotaging private players functions or anyone else’s for that matter, I’d sure af go out of my way to not give them my business & steer others clear too.

I bet this pub has run drag nights or comedy nights where as or more offensive things have been done or said that have been accepted by the bar staff as par for course. If you can control your emotional output in those circumstances I'm certain it's a transferable skill to this.

Rape jokes would get you removed from every drag night in the city. Probably the same with open mic comedy too

Josh Fahey 4 week’s.

Greene. Whitfield. Idun. Taylor. Perryman. $5k fines

More suspensions likely to come..

Riccardi. Fonti. McMullin. Thomas and recently delisted Hamilton all copped 2 week bans

So the bar staff member wasnt even working. Watched it after the fact on CCTV.

Source?

Every 2nd joke about Scomo was based on a sex act.

Get out more.

Has Dangerfield weighed in yet? He is still the boss of the AFLPA ?

Swanny the voice of reason. If the AFL are going to town on the GWS team. It shows how hypocritical they are as Geelong should have been fined many times over the years for many of the same antics.

Dillon and Kane are about as useful to the AFL, as Donald Trump at a pro womens rights conference.

Saying that someone can suck my balls or whatever is different to joking about rape

I thought Harry Connick Junior had been paid to play a black person's part in a movie.

Also made millions appropriating another group's music.

But Im sure he made amends by planting trees, buying a Tesla and donating cans of food.

Whatabout-isms are cool.

 

[Bagger72]

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.

 

[burge13]

Apparently made an 'ill-informed' joke about Diddy if the latest FoxSports article is to be believed.

Multiple games for that

Whatabout-isms are cool.

Outraged flogs who have no issue with how they live their life, deciding how others should live their lives are cooler.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Whats wrong with them? Why are you defending rapists from mockery?

Were they making fun or rapists or making fun of the act?

because it has been implied that it's the latter

 

[Jim Prideaux]

If I owned a Pub or Venue, I'd do that.

You don’t, so it’s irrelevant, but also, no you wouldn’t.

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

Gilbert Gottfried infamously made a 9/11 joke at a Hugh Hefner roast only a couple of weeks after it happened.

The joke itself wasn't that offensive it was just more shocking that he made the joke so soon after it happened.

It was also shocking that Norm Macdonald didn't beat him to it, although it may have been too soon even for Norm.

Gilbert was the first comedian to make a 9/11 joke in public but he certainly hasn't been the last comedian to make one.



The old Toby tax in action again and the AFL and the world in general wasn't quite so uptight and reactionary 10 years ago.

Well put Plugger35.

I remember the Ronnie Johns Half Hour joke about 9/11 on Channel 10 too. It was controversial at the time.

Absolutely not. At drag nights I've heard verbatim:
"you're coming home with me even if I have to throw you in the boot", "watch out cutie, I'll slip something into your drink". The audience laughed both times.

I also regularly attend the comics lounge in North Melbourne. Where comedians make rape jokes on the regular, they recently hosted Ari Shaffer who is arguably the most offensive comedian working.

Most offensive part of this is calling Ari a comedian

Which begs the question, how could he have been suspended for that if the complainer(s) only watched through CCTV? Surely would have no sound

This post makes no sense.

NO GWS players were kicked out for 'inappropriate behavior'

FYI, I have been in charge of Venues in the past through Cricket club & I have done EXACTLY that

Sharting at McDonalds?

Whatever tickles your fancy dude. But it's not a normal sex act.

He aint great, but he is working.

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.

Fair point. But I do still fall back on the argument that comedy show or night is different to working at the pub
