No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 5

[Fossie 32]

I don’t know about suspending these gimps for six weeks - nice to see GWS get some karma and they were d heads but what they did was offend someone - nothing compared to thrillseekers who rob people etc and get off with a slap on the wrist under our pathetic justice system and hypocrisy by an organisation that has done stuff like trying to kill our club, allowing under the table deals, robbing Granty of his Brownlow etc which is next level offensive

Should be in the shouting at clouds thread.

Never thought I'd actually come to his defence but fining Greene $20k for just being present is absolute insanity.

Yep. How can you fine someone for literally doing nothing? He should def challenge that.

The reasoning was as captain he should've put a stop to it.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Classic AFL. Overreach on this sort of stuff completely ignore the integrity issues re trading and drafting and particular clubs.

 

[Thedogdays_r_over]

The classic switcheroo. AFL throws their franchise under the bus (no throw back on them) look to be seen to be doing something. Force them on the front cover of every news article. So any chance someone may question draft tampering/under table deals/collusion is conveniently negated. No one cottons on to the fact there is something fishy happening around the south west coast of Victoria

 

[Unorth]

Nah. **** em. Suspend Greene for life for not stopping it.

Don’t care much about what they did, though it seems incredibly dumb and tasteless.

I will just never be upset at the afl going overboard on punishing him and the giants, justified or not.

It’s pure pettiness but I’m pretty happy about the punishments.

Also, who could have seen this coming when Greene is captaining your side?!?

I hope he challenges it and it gets doubled.

 

[geoffjennings79]

If it was almost anyone else on the planet* except Green, I might have some sympathy.

* some obvious exceptions, including but not restricted to, dictators, grifting buffoons and select oppo BF posters

How bad are Richmond going to be next year? They won 2 games this year, and just lost 3 from the top 6 of their best and fairest alongside Jack Graham

The final 2 episodes of Seinfeld perfectly illustrate the folly of doing nothing and the life changing consequences that can ensue.

no wonder stringer went to gws with such upstanding and moral citizens!

plastics to fall apart and miss the 8.

Interesting that the younger players are all suspended, the older, fined. What passes as leadership at that club, knew enough not to go as far, but gave no guidance to the younger ones. Says a lot about the culture at that club.

Whitfield and idun were the only two fined that were actively involved allegedly. Interestingly they as regular best 22 players get fines whilst the other get bans. The other fines were to those in the leadership group for not stopping the skits.

Whitfield one is a joke slave owner is surely worse than dressing up as a building

This is where the average intelligence of AFL footballers gets exposed. A genius would’ve just worn their own guernsey to the function and say they are dressed up as Israel Folau

That behaviour is actually pathetic. I only read glimpses yesterday and just thought it was dress up but to see that they were simulating rape… WTF????

 

[geoffjennings79]

Those educational sessions for AFL players hitting the mark then?

Surely the club though, any club, reiterates to all their players in the 24 hours or so before Wacky Wednesday or whichever day they're "letting their hair down" to have fun, but remember there are boundaries (even for cashed up twenty-something young men)???

Yeah, I’m a little surprised there are posters downplaying it tbh.

What’s been reported isn’t just unfortunate decision making, it’s pretty poor. Dressing up as the twin towers? Ffs. And for those who’ll absolve them as they weren’t even born then, well I wouldn’t be dressing up as a Japanese POW anytime soon and that was decades before I was born.

People can play the woke card if they want, but excusing this shitty behaviour as a “joke” or “boys letting off steam” has consequences, whether you understand them or not.

This club (and all other clubs) have a diverse fan base and an AFLW team. Some of the “jokes” are abhorrent.
