Bringing up comparisons to other "bad behavior" isnt relevant ?Try and stick to the thread topic.
No ,just saying crap players did 20 years cant get away with it nowadays wheher it be drug taking , throwing small people or poor taste humour even a private setting . The venue that held the event needs to provide a safe working environment for its staff . The terms of hiring venue posted earlier is pretty straight forwardHe was banned yes?

Just fun dress ups was it?

If the matter is a police matter the AFL don’t do anything to until police proceedings have finished.I was juxtaposing the AFLs treatment of actual crimes (ie nothing) vs punishment for tasteless jokes, to point out the inconsistency and hypocrisy. I didn't even name him.
Then you decided for some reason to come to the defence of a convicted criminal.
"Safe" "respectful" "appropriate"
All subjective and effectively meaningless
Like 99% of the populationTo be honest I don’t give a shit
Which seems to be 1% of the populationBasically the AFL is a business and the players/clubs etc know what is considered acceptable and not acceptable by society’s standards
Which is futile, 'can't please everyone all of the time' and all that, appealing to everyone is just a path to inconsistency or hypocrisy if you will. Which they've already reached a long long time ago.Like it or not the AFL wants to make sure it appeals to not just the core audience but everyone
Yep, so they're coming down hard on these players, an over reaction to some, given.........Anyway, bottom line is AFL just cares about its bottom line
Now you're getting it.Not being swell people who want to fight for social justice cos of some idealism.
Not being the biggest fan of Marlions convicted crimes and the ‘alleged’ ones he’s currently facing is not Indigenous bashing.Why you bagging Indigenous people for old crimes where punishment has been served on a thread about GWS being toxic a-holes?
Take your Indigenous bashing to the Sam Newman thread.
No current season stats available
Nothing at all to do with this thread.Not being the biggest fan of Marlions convicted crimes and the ‘alleged’ ones he’s currently facing is not Indigenous bashing.
Maybe at the end of this thread we can do a like vs dislike count on the comments. Or will that be racist too?Nothing at all to do with this thread.
Those poor bar staff who probably see far worse behavior on a daily basis but don't feel the need to be a moral hero on random members of the general public.Geez a lot of dated boomers on this thread. The bar staff have a right not to see simulated sex acts on a blow up doll.
Pretty unlikely to pass out from most recreational drugsNo. It's actually not illegal to pass out in a nightclub.
Your claim it was drug related is conjecture. That was never established.
The AFL have every right to demand the players behave in public as part of their employment. If they don't like it, they can find another job.
It's pretty simple.
He retired to avoid the consequencesIf the matter is a police matter the AFL don’t do anything to until police proceedings have finished.
In a matter like this where no police case is ongoing they have no reason to hold back.
If Pickett gets convicted then the AFL will come down hard on him. If he doesn’t then they won’t.
