The pearl clutchers strike again

I'm not quite willing to say that yet.

Just a couple of years ago some little club had their end of year pissup and one of them got dared to blow the other. And did it. In the middle of the pub. Which was open for regular business. Point is, footballers aren't the brightest bulbs and if they thought they had privacy then god knows what ******ed shit they might get up to, there's a very real chance that what they did was ****ed up... Or... maybe there were a couple of unsavoury jokes and a bartender or bouncer or someone took supreme offence and for whatever reason the AFL is losing their ****ing minds. We're seriously lacking on details.

We know it was a private function. The Glen Waverley thing wasn't. Surely that means they're entitled to let loose as long as they don't damage anything. Toby Greene has been fined $20k for 'not stepping in as a leader.' Fining someone for NOT doing something in a non-legally binding situation is groupthink levels of ****ed. If it wasn't blackface, I don't see the issue

I'll reserve judgment until we know details, but all workers have a right to a safe environment. And Seinfeld et. al. went to jail for less.

Did Boris the chicken have a cameo?

[Devington]

Christ on a cracker those are some hefty punishments!

 

[Twangler]

Wouldn’t mind playing GWS in the opening two rounds!

[DaveyBoy123]

Best 22 players suspended: 0

Best 22 players fined: 5

Coincidence?

 

[King Corey]

So... you can fine your captain for lack of leadership eh?

 

[ferball]

Won't happen this year now.

Coincidence?

Harvey Thomas is in their best 22, so is Riccardi.

 

[ferball]

So its still too soon to make jokes about 9/11?

Those two weren't even alive when it happened.

 

[zoomba23]

So a bartender reported them for that. What, did he feel unsafe in the presence of a few blokes letting loose? Did he think those events were actually happening?

[Reagan Smash]

9-11 was 23 years ago and some Karen gets triggered

Maybe they felt dickheads simulating rape in their workplace wasn’t ok. And good on them for not putting up with it.

 

[LB2Snake]

This whole GWS things seems really odd. What did Fahey do do we think? He’s copped 4 weeks suspension, must be outrageous.

 

[Makeshift Park]

So Connor Idun... whose dad is from Ghana... got sanctioned... by the AFL... for enacting a skit depicting slavery...

Biggest beatup sonce Boris the chicken

The Hayne thing is fair enough.

Dunno what Thomas and Fonti did.

The other two seem like over reactions but I'd have to see the specifics.

Suggestions it was a she.

 

[gokangas]

Surprised that Carro's take is that suspensions were over the top. She drew the comparison with Clarko She is hard to predict at times.'s fine earlier in the year and these antics.

 

[Makeshift Park]

GWS players banned, fined over ‘completely unacceptable’ dress-up antics

Greater Western Sydney player Josh Fahey has been suspended for four games after dressing up as former NRL player Jarryd Hayne and simulating sex with an inflatable doll at the Giants’ controversial post-season function.

It sounds like the AFL is actually being racist, as far as Idun is concerned.
