Probably would get less for Goat Sacrifice too.
I would just like to re-iterate far more damage occurs on Radio and TV Shows than what has happened here in a private room.
Bounce, which is practically marketed as a kids show and has an audience of children frequently portrays video content of violence and death. Triple M is constantly providing sexism, ageism, bullying etc as content, these are from carriers licenced by the AFL.
Most of us can look past this stuff and through it without becoming outraged and appreciate there is no intention to hurt. When lines are crossed people generally apologise and we move on.
This sort of reaction and punishment is just virtue signalling nonsense. Nat Edwards was last night trying to tie it to gender violence.
Fortunately she didn’t see any evidence of family planning advice for indigenous players at Hawthorn or players not turning up to clinics and breaking kids hearts when the reality is these things effect people so much more.
The GWS skits were poor taste and only make those involved look like idiots…that should have been punishment enough.

Releasing that just makes the afl look so ****ing petty
Really unhappy. I know they have to do so in this day and age because you can’t be seen as offending anyone but man, this leaves a real sour taste. They’ve publicly hung the boys out to dry.
So it's official Connor did get fined for being black.
If the lack of support by the club to the players was a trigger for players to seek out a trade in the future wouldn't blame them at all.

It appears that he got fined for being part of the leadership group.

So what are we all dressing up as for round 1 to stick it to the AFL? Ronald McDonald & Friends seems appropriate.. at least one clown involved in this. 13500 Hamburglers might have too muich innuendo attached without consent.
Absolutely

Or maybe dress-up like the COVID crowd and just not show up. Vote with your feet.
Certainly get less for setting a dwarf on fire & then complaining that he wasn’t entertaining enough after.

The Member email from David Matthews almost made me want to vomit. What a spineless hack. Should have told the AFL to get stuffed instead of throwing our players under the bus.

That doesn't fill a lot of players at the GWS with any confidence, esp if you are a fringe player.

Agree. It’s a poor email. He’s the CEO. If it’s so bad the buck should stop with him.

Imagine how much trouble we’d be in if there was actually a victim of this ‘distressing’ behaviour.
