    There might be a bit more too this because Collingwood would normally challenge this type of suspension
    The AFL laid down the rules at the start of all this and did say they would come down hard on any covid-19 breaches.

    I don't see how wandering around hammered and lacking clothing, being driven home by police and breaking AFL restricted protocols is something for which a four week sanction could be considered a heavy touch. Especially given a couple of Melbourne players copped two weeks for attending a party without shitting their pants in public.

    Could it be that after years and years of conditioning, our fearless leader GvGjnr has become, if you will, a Collingwood apologist?

    I should surely hope not.

    Standard evening for a lot of Collingwood fans no wonder they're up in arms.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    You kinda have to feel sorry for poor old Eddie.

    His players continue to let him down, with monotonous regularity.

    Just a few days after saying that a Co-vid breach should earn a $100k fine, and be worth a season suspension for the player/s concerned. Yep its two Collingwood players who offends. Of course, when, its a four week sentence for one of them that's an overkill, and the club won't add to it. Now its a Collingwood player caught out, they have forgotten the needs of the competition, and are now only concerned for the "player's welfare".

    Then, to pile it on, the De Goey & Lumumba cases. Eddie can rabbit on all he wants about respect both for women and other races, but his players appear to have let him down in those areas as well. Certainly they have hit the headlines in fairly undesirable ways lately.

    Thankfully, the De Goey case is now (apparently) out of the hands of the Collingwood spin doctors.
    The truth will set you free,
    but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.

    .
    No, not really. Eddie also lets himself down in the areas you highlight.

    Eddie shouldn't say things unless he intents to follow through himself. Not sure if you saw the footage off Eddie going off about the $100K fine but he should come out and explain why he hasn't applied the penalty to the Collingwood players. At the time he was very passionate and strong in his convictions about the issue. But now not so muhc.
