With either that or he’s pulled a move which wasn’t welcome.
Or it was actually welcome, thus the Swans are saying all parties are innocent?
Should have faked the hammy.

Surely it depends on the individual details of how it all came about.
But completely irrelevant.
We dont know any facts but instead we fill the void with gossips, pearl clutchers and people who want to big note and virtue signal about themselves.
Cool story about yourself.

What would you do in this sort of situation?
What would your considerations be and what are your values?

Young man dates young woman.
Young man and young woman break up.
Friend of young man starts spending time with young woman.
Friend of young man, and young woman begin a non-serious relationship.
Young man learns of this and asks his friend what is happening. Friend of young man is evasive with the truth.
Young man and friend of young man are amongst a wider group of friends/teammates when they run into close friend of young man's ex girlfriend. She is very familiar with young man's friend and young man does the maths.
With bellies full of beer they argue and are separated by teammates.
They apologise to one another when the club calls them in to explain what had happened at the pub. Club took very cautious approach which players have queried, suggesting they think it is over the top.

One assumption that is being made is that Wicks and the other bloke are friends. Maybe they are just teammates
Diddums, We've hit a nerve with our little person here have we? You have the right to be uptight,guess
you're still looking around for all the flags Buddy won for you.
I agree, but it depends on what "acting inappropriately" actually means.
If it means hooking up with her, no problem, play on.
If it means harrassing her, then that is a serious issue.
You may have hit a nail on a head here. I cannot stand the oft-repeated fantasy that you go out to play with "21 of your best mates". Sometimes all you share in common is that you like to play the same sport, and you're both good at it.

I think something everyone is over looking here in regard to whether Wicks actions should illicit a response from his team mate/mates or not is..
What did he actually do and how did he manage the situation?
If he was merely an acquaintance with the girls ex, had legitimate feelings for her and came to him first to inform him of what was going on - fair play to him.
If he was best mates with the girls ex and went out of his way to do the deed for the mere sake of doing the deed, while lying through his teeth about what was really going on - then fair play to the club for giving him a spell.
We just do not know these details, so absolutely no point trying to throw in your 2 cents one-size-fits-all lesson in morality.

It depends on how close you are with the person, and the terms on which the relationship ended.
If you're close friends and the breakup really hurt them, then generally it's not on as it will burn your friendship hard.
If you're just teammates, or if the relationship wasn't that close/the breakup wasn't that bad, then honestly play on.
Austin Powers reference time.
Great use of common sense.
Looks like some of these blokes aren't as switched on as you are though!
We at Collingwood, would NEVER do cocaine at OUR club. Drink driving is MUCH more on-brand.
Sure, but that doesn't make it wrong. Plenty of people meet at work; in fact, it's where both sets of my grandparents met. You choose to keep out of it, that's fine, but that doesn't make it immoral.
Big difference between moral & professional conduct and pooing where you eat.
I would advise anyone to be wary dating/marrying someone they work with directly or report to/manage.
But yes, I met my wife at work, and when I realised we would never be working together again I asked her out on a date haha.
Also dated ladies from other departments.
Some things are just too close to home and should be kept separate.
Wary is a good word. Don’t kid yourself about the risks.
The obvious no no is between a senior and a junior. That’s not on.

Guy you may play with for a couple of years then never speak to again breaks up with girl you like. You find out the girl likes you too.
Tells a very different story...
Well yes - the concept of you grubbing around in the slop of failure looking for dog poop to throw is pretty off-putting.
Shouldn’t you be getting de-loused somewhere?

That is a slipery slope.
All depends on the relationship if serious or not.
AFL players have the world in front of them in finding girls. Why go out with a teammates ex misses. Maybe she's stiring up the situation to get back at her ex. Happened to me along time ago.
If a trammate cracked it over something and Wicks was found to be cleared what caused the reaction and blow up. The unhappy ex stiring the pot?
Seems like there was a bkow up and now a pkayer stood down.....for doing nothing wrong?

You've got 45 teammates, not all of them are even going to be your friends.
