Western Bulldogs accused of earlier, 'raunchier' video

[fred cook]

THE Western Bulldogs are believed to have pulled a video off YouTube months before the Hong Kong footage was discovered.

The club has refused to comment on the removed footage, but it's believed the video showed past players behaving in a manner that could be considered inappropriate and unsuitable.

It is believed the video contained nudity

The "baby elephant walk" by any chance? If so, this is a new low, even by Herald-Sun standards.

Surely it wouldn't be that!!!???, if it is they are basically deliberately misleading people.

 

[Pigdog]

They need to fill their shitty paper with something I suppose.

Pretty sure it is. What a disgraceful performance by this paper, just sinking to new lows everyday.

This is what I thought of immediately.

The HS is a disgrace!

The Herald Sun is becoming a joke.

We have a lawyer on our board don't we? If I was the Herald Sun, I would be treading very carefully.

Yeah.. but you can't defame a company.. and they haven't named any names - it's only their own reputation they're harming (what reputation?)

The moment they name a name they have to prove that the story is true..

Katherine Firkin (who wrote this) is the journo that Fevola harassed one year at the Brownlow.

If it is the footage from the old doco club should take legal action .
She's going out of her way to create controversy , damaging the brand .

Until there is proof, they have nothing.

Edit- it's from a player revue type thing? what the ****ing hell?

Just sinking even lower these journos. I've picked the wrong career.

The URL is there however you can't find it by drilling down from the menus.

I remember seeing the vid on youtube a few years ago. In the current era of journo's just searching google and youtube for article inspiration it's probably a good thing the club had it taken down.

I did find a Wil Anderson interview that mentions it,

I dont know why but I thought it was a made up name. So she's gone through life with a surname that sounds like a swear word?


No wonder she choose journalism as a career.

 

[kookadog]

Firkin Bullshit...

 

[Werewolf]

She's fairly good looking, pity about the last few stories she's written

 

[Captain Sensible]

Firkin Bullshit...

That was my initial reaction. She could have copped a worse surname though;
