We all don't have a high profile role for the one of the biggest companies in the country. That company happens to be the AFL, which is one of the most heavily scrutinised and high profile organisations and with the amount of media that cover the code in general there is absolutely no way that this can be classed in the same category as me stuffing up on the site and getting a let off or anyone just "stuffing up"

Not even mentioning his actual role with the AFL which happens to be heavily involved with communities and young kids OR the track record.

No racist themes here, It's clear cut and the right result was reached and hopefully all of this can maybe have a positive effect on people down the line and maybe stop something like this happening again.

Playing the race card ? Oh please spare me. He King Hit an unsuspecting player in an age where Coward Punches are condoned. In a bygone era without video or social media, he might have received a lessor punishment. This is 2017, not 1987. I'm not sure how any other employer would have dealt with this issue, had he been a plumber, he wouldn't lose his job, however, he worked with the AFL that is 100% against violence on & off the field of play. His position was compromised and he was right to resign from the AFL - his wisest decision this week.

I was at the Macleod game in Round 3 with my kids and they were horrified by the incident that day, so much so, that my girls asked to leave. He hit an unsuspecting opponent again. Footy is about enjoyment, community gatherings, participation. I won't take my kids to local football to witness thuggery & coward punches.

His actions, his decisions, his choices, therefore his consequences - Muslim or not !

The only thing I'll add to the matter is. That in our current climate and although people's anger was motivated from the act committed and also the fact fahour had form. I have no doubt there are some fractions that had extra racial incentive.

Having said that, In the end the right outcome was achieved. So you would hope that a standard has now been set for all. Both by the nfl and the general public.

I feel that your imagination is working overtime champ, why would race figure in this?

Not my imagination at all Because I've seen a whole lot of social media where people are abusing fahour based on his ethnicity

"meant be a peaceful religion, they're all the same, etc"

Spot on....too many people want to play the racist card when it fits their beliefs

 

[workhorse]

Pretty sure Prowl was referring to the fact that his ethnicity would have been of no consideration in the decision made by the tribunal members, even if some members of the public make unsavory remarks in regards to his ethnicity on social media.

And I don't disagree, my reference to ethnicity was purely about some sectors the general public. I said nothing about the tribunal

 

[food for thought]

Wonder what effect all this may or may not have on the club, have to get Hank to organise Jeffrey to talk to the playing group.

 

[Kickass]

f.still say it a bit tough losing your job as well.

People lose their jobs for irresponsible acts everyday. Things like not turning up in an acceptable state (influence of drugs or alcohol), bringing the name of your employer in to disrepute (criminal activity, association, misrepresentation,loss of license or drink driving) abuse of company policies (including computer & social media, sexual harassment) So I for one are not surprised in the least that this (repeated acts of physical violence) has led to the end of his job tenure

 

[Dogs till i die]

Thanks NFL. Banned a player who should not be playing footy.

Great to see you back KissArse as well.

 

[nosecondprize]

How many weeks did scooter get?

 

[morrieturnbuckle]

How many weeks did scooter get?

None. He's been picked to play against Greensborough this week

 

[The Buz]

What about Jake King. Any word on when he'll make his special appearance at De Winton? Surely the club will put that on the back burner after recent events.

 

[Truth handler]

Kick someone to the head while on the ground a few people have said Macleod are a protected species in this league and I guess they're right because what Farhour did was a grub act and so was what this grub at Macleod did so it's rules for everyone except Macleod

You sound bitter. From what I've heard, the incident is not anywhere near what you have reported. Let it go

Not bitter at all you're obviously a Macleod person so it looks like you just want to sweep this under the rug well as I said ANYONE who acts like a GRUB on the ground needs to be outed simple
