Re: The official 'win a flag and become more depressed than ever' thread.
Definitely taken some of the gloss off it for me. The worst part is I won't be able to gloat when I return to work Wednesday - replies of "yeah but what about the alleged incident" will be the expected retort.

Re: The official 'win a flag and become more depressed than ever' thread.
I wholeheartedly agree.
To be flippant, a Collingwood player could have killed someone on Saturday night and I still would be ****ing rapt with the fact that we have a premiership.
Walking away from Gosch's Paddock yesterday I remarked "no one can take this feeling away from us", and I stick by that statement.
I'm a Melbourne Storm fan, and I still consider the flags that got ripped of them as being real, just like nothing can take away from the fact that we won the flag.
No need to cry, no need to pout, one player may have acted like a moron, but that doesn't take anything away from what the club has achieved in 2010.
Bring on trade week, I'm ignoring the whole case until the "whole truth" comes out or the police lay charges.
Until then, I'M ****ING ECSTATIC, and I will be for months.

I am not pre-judging anything, but you have serious problems if you think anything goes after a GF.
If the charges come to nothing, I will be utterly irrate, incensed, about the ruination of this moment, but if they're true, it stains the flag and really disappoints me. Deeply. I'm sure the players would feel the same way.

Re: F!@#ing Great... sex assault allegations
Exactly !! It's about time players take a stand and sue if false allegations are made. If it's true a player has to face up to it via the law and media. It's time the acuser also faces the same.

The law will take its course and all we can do is support the club in subsequently doing the right thing, whatever that is.
If, and I say if, one of those 22 players turns out to be have been a ****ing arseh*le, it takes nothing away from what the side achieved. It takes nothing away from the vast majority of our players who have earned general, if sometimes grudging, admiration for their humility and work ethic, or from the handful who have become better men because the club forced them to grow the **** up.
It takes nothing away from us as supporters, either, unless we let it. Are you an arseh*le? Of course you're not. Is it depressing to think that one of our players might have committed a violent and despicable crime? Damn straight it is.
But we won a flag, with a team full of decent young blokes.
I feel great. You should too.

To me, the most disappointing thing is not being able to watch us play again until next year.

Maybe you all now understand a little more about a supporters love for a club, regardless of certain player indiscretions.
Also understand how the other 21 players feel, probably a little conflicted at the moment as well, you should make them feel as special as possible so it's less awkward for them.

Re: The official 'win a flag and become more depressed than ever' thread.
It's only ruined if you let it be ruined. If you don't worry about it now (which let's be frank is completely unproductive in any event), if you don't let people get at you about it, then nothing will be lost if there turns out to be nothing in it.
If things turn out for the worst, the player concerned will wear the consequences and rightly so. I will be disappointed in him and so will his teammates. Will they be disappointed in themselves? Hell no they won't. I can think of several premiership sides (1996 and 1999 spring to mind) which have harboured an utter scumbag. No stain.
Chin up, man. You didn't do anything wrong. The side didn't do anything wrong. The club didn't do anything wrong.
Frankly the best thing we can do is to support the club in doing everything possible to ensure that we recruit players of good character and that we do everything by the book. I think we've done pretty well on that front in the last few years. I'm proud anyway, but I'm always happy to be prouder.

Re: F!@#ing Great... sex assault allegations
At least The Australian clarified the sex of the victim, which is more than the Herald Sun or Collingwood website did. Even the AFL only made passing reference to "respect for women".

Re: The official 'win a flag and become more depressed than ever' thread.
THIS.....
I can't imagine how they would feel right now.
I also feel for the player involved!! (and the girl... but that goes without saying).
It's just a horrible situation if true!

Re: F!@#ing Great... sex assault allegations
allegations remain allegations at this stage. if they advance to formal charges, im confident that the club will handle the situation in the best possible manner without the exasperated moral wrangling from supporters with regard to what ought to be done in varying hypothetical scenarios.
from a purely personal pov, and prob not a popular opinion given commercial interests etc., but if what they did was just really stupid as opposed to overtly sinister or malicious, i'd hope the club stick by them.
yes its a bit disappointing that some supporters have already handed down their moral dictums without even knowing the nature of what occurred. i guess this is to be expected given the hysterical nature of bigfooty.

don't get it twisted, the rest of the comp perpetually suck our balls. this is no allegation; this much we know, and all opposition supporters must be made aware of such.Still.... has dampened the win to an extent... but I'm still so happy we ARE PREMIERS OF '10.
Re: The official 'win a flag and become more depressed than ever' thread.
Look, if it's anything remotely that outrageous it will be evident sooner rather than later.
Similarly if it's the other way.
Bit hard to just move on though until we know for sure.
And yeah, definitely annoying having to wait so long to see us play again. One thing the EPL has right!

Re: The official 'win a flag and become more depressed than ever' thread.
Personally there is no way I am going to allow these allegations taint the incredible experience I witnessed on Saturday. Forever I have consumed myself with concerns about speculative occurrences etc. Through experience, I have adapted and now only focus my energies on things in my control. Things I can impact on. That is not to say I won't want the player if found guilty reprimanded. But why should I worry about it now... More than likely, it's all bullshit.
... and all the crap on the main board... If you let them get to you, seriously don't bother surfing an Internet forum. Opposition supporters and media will do their best to dampen the mood
Fu<ked if it is going to work on me... In fact, I get a laugh out of it... So should you...

Re: F!@#ing Great... sex assault allegations
If player has any illegal or immoral involvement in this incident, should be sacked immediately. I feel sick to think the euphoria of this victory has been so quickly tarnished.

Re: F!@#ing Great... sex assault allegations
OMG - This is horrid, i don't think anyone would make up gang rape allegations. Couldnt possiable get away with it, with all the evidince that would be left behind either proving it right or wrong!
Feel for the young Lady, the best the pies could hope for is this.
1. Shes made it up, but i doubt it.
2. That the 2 pies player were at a private house party, where the incident took place, but in her shock and the ordeal of it all a case of mistaken identy on the victims part.
Its a shame this terriable ordeal has happened, it has taken the lime light of your premiership win........... By the Congratulation on the win, you's deserved it.
The ironic side of it tho, wasn't it Mick Malthouse who had ago at Stephen Milne for the alleged rape of young lady..... mmm

POLICE are investigating whether a member of Collingwood's premiership team was involved in a pack rape of a woman with a group of footballers in the early hours of Sunday morning, as the AFL club was celebrating its grand final win over St Kilda.
A woman has told police she was forced to have sex with the Collingwood star and up to three other men at a private home in Dorcas Street, South Melbourne.
Police are also investigating a second Collingwood player after the woman, a 20-year-old student, alleged she was assaulted by another man as she tried to flee.

Re: F!@#ing Great... sex assault allegations
Yeah because Mick Malthouse is the one at the house party. Head back to the main board to spread your crap. Nothing official released yet, just a rehashed article from earlier. Wait and see.

Re: F!@#ing Great... sex assault allegations
The AFL can de-register them and i think we will see behaviour clause being built into player contract. "if a player is proven in a court of law of rape, they will be forefeit any contract and pay out rights ect".
