    Can’t believe the commentary of a few nutters of one side of the political spectrum
    Completely unhinged and frankly should be both taken off the air

    I believe Tom Boyd is playing for St Kevin’s in 2020 afternoon leaving Norwood in the Eastern Footy League.

    I think jeemak probably sums it up well. My school was a private co ed non-denominational school in the outer eastern suburbs which started out in the early 1980s overall a good school.

    If you don’t like the post scroll past ., all I posted was is this the school some players went to, it might have ramifications it might not.
    Posters have mentioned some players went to it.

    First it’s a spelling error now this, I’m sorry for being concerned about children who went to that school who might have come into contact with this stuff in fact going by the reports they would have crossed paths.

    You call it tenuous I call it caring.
    I have no problem with you posting about it. BAD brought up that this was the wrong thread, you asked where it should go and I suggested a more suitable thread. Should we post about Glenn Maxwell on here because he's a bulldogs supporter, or is the cricket thread more appropriate?

    The other thing you mention was nothing to do with a spelling error, what you wrote could have been construed as highly offensive by some, I was just pointing it out. If you don't want to take responsibility for that so be it, but I will continue to call things like that out. This board is better than that.

    This is just unbelievable. 24 hours after being appointed the acting principle has been asked to step aside for trying to obstruct a mandatory grooming report.

    Have any of you guys seen a film called Dogs in Space? Sam, Chuck, Tim and the rest of the characters in the band were all ex St Kevvy's boys. I knew quite a few through the Melbourne indy music scene and all the ones I knew were *!*!*!*!ed up on heroin. Really bad.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    It depends on whether you lived through it or not. It's a pretty accurate representation of the lifestyle back then and I understand why they shot it the way they did.

    It's all about the punk ethos and being hand made baby. Anything else would have been pretentious and unrepresentative.

    Nice to see pedophile activist Andrew Bolt inserting himself into discussion for some reason to note that the teacher given a character reference by the school's principal merely flirted with a teenage boy, and no sex was involved, as if it's some demonstration of iron will.
    Andrew Bolt has never met a pedophile that he won't defend.

    It's a weird one. Who volunteers to throw themselves under a bus to defend the reputation of a kiddy fiddler? And why?

    I reckon there's a story to be told there for a brave reporter who seeks it out.

    Re: St Kevin’s

    We have:

    Wallis (+ his brother who was recently still playing for the old boys)
    Libba
    Hunter
    West

    The club has a strong connection to St Kevins and I'm sure it would have been one of the strong reasons that Tom Boyd chose to play there this year.

    The Unleashed was never the appropriate place for this thread and some of the discussions have certainly veered off topic.
    I've given this more scope than I'm otherwise comfortable with so I'm closing the thread
