This doesn't surprise me anymore.

If I had to wear that Guernsey I'd be getting wasted too

Robbo, like a slobbering dobber in a schoolyard, tripping over himself to look the man to his Essendon mates.

Interesting he actually mentions Collingwood but won't mention the other teams, a direct hit at them.

Very true ledge. No mention of the other clubs involved.

[Ghost Dog]

I hope it ends up a falsity and the Hun is sued to the bjesus.

[jeemak]

Whatever sells papers Ledge. Collingwood good, Collingwood bad, Collingwood indiferent it doesn't matter. The HUN will single them out in either case because they know it sells.

Just a timely reminder to woofers out there, don't think we're not next to receive this type of news. As soon as you start sniggering you'll be found out.

Stevo mentioned interstate club at half time.

Sounds like Rocket is losing the battle.

Just another thing on this topic, Stevo wants AFL players to be holding themselves to a higher standard than those of their age within society when it comes to this issue, as if society should reflect the standards held by the AFL in a perfect world.

The guy's a numbnut if that's his view.

The AFL is the most sheltered and out of touch professional sporting environment in this country, and it would do well to ensure its employees and management hold the values of society as a starting point. It is so far behind, hence the reason why people who loved the game are becoming less and less in touch with it.

To play the devils advocate. Because players are so well looked after financially isn't it incumbent on them to not only present themselves in pristine condition to their clubs for preseason and also to not risk the reputation of the sport, in short they don't want to kill the golden goose.

I agree with this. A court of law where you get three strikes before you lose your job.
When I lived in Geelong you hear stories of all sorts of stuff their players got up to. Secret rooms above bars where anything goes.
I can't say if it is true but I can't see AFL being different to any other 'game' where money is big.

The AFL's reaction to the Essendon saga a case in point. Pathetic response.

I thought that was an hilarious comment tbh and oh the irony making those sorts of comments with the Duck in the room. Too funny.

Stevo is indirectly implying that being an AFL player somehow exonerates one from the temptations that come with being a human being. I like Stevo because he has been a great supporter of us over the years but he's coming out with some pretty weird shite lately.
