    Re: John Patton in big strife

    Some people deal with mental illness differently. Many become introspective, withdraw from their social circles etc.

    And then there are others who send 100s of unsolicited dick picks and sexually aggressive texts.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    According to some screenshots, 1000s - 20 to 40 per night. He only needed one positive response, and he was shameless.

    The sceptic in me suggests it was probably fairly recently.

    If true then he certainly does have very real problems that need to be addressed and needless to say he should not be anywhere near a football club.

    Those numbers are pretty staggering..............

    If the subject matter wasn't so unsavory it would actually be kind of impressive. Perhaps he should pursue a career in sales where his dogged persistence can be put to a legitimate use.

    Patton realty - "Doesn't take 'no' for an answer"

    Then insert his head onto a body with a yellow blazer

    Selling used cars might be all that's left once this is all said and done.

    Given the messages flying around, I wonder if he'll celebrate his 100th car sale with a frozen ice cream cake?

    Re: John Patton in big strife

    Normally I'm pretty happy to give blokes the benefit of the doubt, especially when their career has been curtailed by injury. But not in this case. Patton has been a flog of the highest order, and he strikes me as one of those who by dint of his size, lorded over others, and was pandered to by junior coaches.
    I've had first hand experience with those types in Qld, being in the same class as Julian O'Neil.
    They get a free pass for their behaviour from those who could hold them to account because they don't want to risk them going elsewhere.
    It does those kids a disservice later in life.
    I'll never forget how Parton cruelly taunted Tom Boyd in the preliminary. So glad that it backfired.

    Patton will not be missed by me.

    The spectacle of the game is poorer for not seeing him in full flight, regardless of his personality. Think Carey/Stringer
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    I remember this. No wonder Tom wanted to get out of there. Would be tough having to play with such a douche. And his taunting of Tom in the prelim just confirmed what type of person he is. So glad Tom played a blinder in both the prelim and grand final to win a flag. Jono also got his just deserves.

    Nope, I disagree. There are plenty enough great players who aren't entitled arseholes.

    Tom Boyd will be remembered as a premiership player who kicked one of the best goals in AFL grand final history and probably should be a Norm Smith medallist whilst Jon Patton will be remembered for sending dic pics. Sometimes, not always, sometimes life has a way of working itself out just right.
