Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2025, Part 1

[Strange Cat]

Turns out we were both wrong - impersonating celebrity couples? Must have taken it to some weird places

Yeah just saw that I can’t imagine how that could had turned out so badly but I guess we will see soon enough

 

[Strange Cat]

Diddy & Bieber

Makes a lot of sense maybe just a whole white party Diddy theme with all types of celebrities

Would be very distasteful

 

[Baudolino]

Anyone who draws GWS early in the season is getting 4 free premiership points. Hope it's us.

 

[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

Apparently we are copping Brisbane in Brisbane first up so unlikely to benefit from this.

They must have stepped way past just dressing up as them.

Blackface or something else.

If it is just dressing up as Diddy without blackface & Beiber it is fair game IMO.

We'd probably have to delist Bartel and Duncan if they dressed up as Ricky Nixon and Duthie again these days.

GWS players are today making submissions in relation to proposed AFL penalties.

Some players have been hit with hefty fines, even if they weren't involved directly with the skit. Captain Toby Greene

is one of these, who has been sanctioned $20k, essentially for not showing adequate leadership in the situation.

Then approx six players who were allegedly involved in the skits have been hit with match penalties. Josh Fahey is one of these players, Isaac Cumming

& James Peatling are not.

There is widespread surprise among players with the severity of penalties and they are seeking to have them reduced via their submissions.

 

[BotsMaster]

When will we get more details on the skit?

And where can we stream it?

Very funny that Tom Morris is now the go to reporter on player misbehavior.

Can we go to Leigh Montagna for expert comments? "Nothing in it for mine. They didn't even set fire to a dwarf".

For those who want more in-depth speculation on what exactly happened during GWS's Mad Monday celebrations, there's at least 18 pages of discussion here

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

When will we get more details on the skit?

Something tells me we won't get more details as the AFL don't want it out as it will look bad for them.

Of course always a chance someone leaks it

It's a fine line. You can't really dole out big punishments without making some of what was done public.

GC didn't bother with a Photoshopped image to welcome Rioli to the club

Toby Greene could have not been in attendance and unaware of the event and they'd fine him 20k on pure reflex

So if the thing i just read there is true then i suggest we put a contract to come home in front of Connor Idun and we get the Irish lads talking to Callum Brown

Sounds like Greene was in attendance up but left early prior to some of the antics in question - for that he shouldn't be in trouble, as surely adults have to take responsibility for their own actions

I think where the questions are over his leadership is in the theme of the event, "troubled couples" and some teammates dressed up as alleged rapists & at least one bought a blow-up dolls with them, others dressed the as the Twin Towers etc - the suggestion may be that as a leader at the club, there should have been second thoughts about the theme and the inappropriateness of some of the costumes

I think the costumes themselves are problematic enough though, even discounting the bf rumoured ones and just counting the ones reported by journos

I think the bigger issue is that the players themselves didn’t step back and re thought their costume choices …but that’s young men for you look at Prince Harry all those years ago

Young men are dumb as **** and I was no different

 

[iameviljez]

Blackface or something else.

If it is just dressing up as Diddy without blackface & Beiber it is fair game IMO.

We'd probably have to delist Bartel and Duncan if they dressed up as Ricky Nixon and Duthie again these days.

It’s not just the act of dressing up, it’ll be the actual skits.

Herd mentality is very real, and sometimes young blokes with way too much money need a wake up.

 

[goyoucatters]

Herd mentality is very real, and sometimes young blokes with way too much money need a wake up.

I don't think the 'too much money' issue is much of a factor at all in the presenting behaviour. Young guys are generally very quick to act and much, much slower to think.

But the money (and fame) does make a big difference to the probability of their behaviour finding its way into the public square. That's something else they definitely didn't think through before embarking on these escapades.

 

[James1970]

Considering the great majority of AFL players come from an exclusive all boy's private school background, it's pretty predictable the AFL acts like a frustrated school board. I'm sure the player's parents got a letter in the mail, reminding them that their sons recent behaviour is not to the standard of what is expected as members of the AFL and that if it happens again, their privliges will be reviewed, along with the expectations of added community service, etc. etc.

 

[BotsMaster]

Were there not photos taken by the media like they do with Geelong?
