“HORROR SESSION”: HAWKS LOSE ANOTHER IN INTRA-CLUB AS KEY DEFENDER GOES DOWN WITH KNEE​

Hawks have listed Ethan Phillips as SSP. Be interesting to see how he goes. Armchair recruiters who would have picked him 2 years ago v actual recruiters who have overlooked him a few years straight when a lot of teams in the comp are crying out for key defenders.

****ing gold!

 

[Mad_Hatter]

I'd say I would agree.... but I can't.
Swans and Pies have accounted for half of our Premierships so I'll love them both for eternity

 

[cats_09]

Let's see how close to the mark Tom actually is

 

[BotsMaster]

Surely he cops a permanent ban? Or do we need to do something like this to make it happen?

This is the sort of ban they should also hand out to players caught on drugs.....and should name them from the get go too.

I think the scale is a little different.

Abusing women is in a different conversation to a player having a few disco biscuits

Whats the penalty for smoking joints? Especially since thats slowly legalising around the world and eventually will in Australia as well.

Meanwhile beating women will never be acceptable.

I would also say that naming every footy player caught with drugs will just make drugs cooler.

I believe there should be no tolerance for abuse of women, and also believe there should be no tolerance for drugs in sport.

I get they're different subjects, but see a similarity in the belief that both should have zero tolerance.

That doesn't seem to happen when other athletes around the world are named?

Such athletes are named as soon as the allegation is made, but the AFL doesn't treat it as seriously or sincerely imo.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I'm not sure how Fyfe best danger, nor how Dusty beat the near-superhuman GCS version of Gary Ablett, able to single handedly field an afl side

Pretty much this. Dangers 2016 season was extraordinary.
His 2017 season was just as good and if not for that ridiculous suspension for a tackle on Kreuzer, he would have back to back brownlows.

Nope, beating or intimidating women will never be acceptable, but then I don't believe the mere act of legalisation makes the use of drugs acceptable either. Just me.

 

[Hamingja]

Wil Parker signed as a cat b rookie for Collingwood. Won't have to put up with his shit bowling for the Hurricanes any longer

I would have thought too small for AFL

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I believe there should be no tolerance for abuse of women, and also believe there should be no tolerance for drugs in sport.

I get they're different subjects, but see a similarity in the belief that both should have zero tolerance.

Yeah you're entitled to that belief

 

[cats_09]

Speaking of drugs in sport…

 

[And_ROOS]

Speaking of drugs in sport…

Is the trafficking because he was offering it to teammates? Because if offering your mates drugs at work makes you a drug trafficker, then my 21 year old co workers at my old job are ****ing narcos.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

I really regret going to look at that train-wreck of a thread on the main-board called "Can Dustin Martin be the Goat" .

Yikes that's painful to read.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Goodwin and pert are disgusting so this is unsurprising.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

In a legal sense, your 21 year old co workers are narcos

SEN already answered that question:

Self confessed top contributor of said thread, dismissing each and every attempt to elevate Martin over Ablett by the same few deranged Richmond supporters.

Quite right, this should be the drug scale. I'd have thought the scale for TT actions should be measured in years.

Meanwhile beating women anyone will never be acceptable.

You guys are just suckers for punishment. I don't know how you do it.
