The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

[The Adelaide Connection]

I came over on the weekend to the Big V and spent some time with a mate of mine who, through his work, knows seemingly everyone who is behind the bar in every Melbourne pub. Makes for a big headache in the morning let me tell you (and thus the reason I didn't get to the social club before the game).

Anyway I was quite suprised to hear a tale from the previous Sunday night about a player (who has been completely under the pump in the Melbourne papers) getting absolutely wasted. Allegedly of course. Not sure what he was celebrating, it wasn't a win. He was also loud and strutting around hooking up with multiple girls throughout the night and not really hiding the fact apparently. He said the player was out of control by the end of it.

Coming on the back of the Bock incident, where he was alledgedly drinking for up to 10 hours, I was dumbfounded that a player (especially a very recognisable one) would be so careless. Even for this clown, who is no stranger to indiscretions.

Am I so sheltered in my two team town, where the players are only 1/5th the size of the group in Melbourne, to be naive enough to think this is suprising? Just seems like Russian roulette to me.

Oh, before you ask, I am not going to name the player for legal reasons etc. But you can probably guess anyways.

I guess he is only human and represents our society. Obviously if he is well known and the media get hold of it he will be in trouble with his club as well as the general football public having a go at him.

Well he is not playing seniors, so what is the problem?

I thought he was 'injured'?

Oh, I thought he played ressies last week. Might be his first game this week.

I think his girlfriend has packed it in and gone home a couple of weeks ago.

Different player. I am not sure who you are talking about, maybe there has been a player more under the pump in the papers over there. This player has been playing senior footy, played last week and has not been listed as injured (in fact he is named this week too).

Sure it may be reflective of our society and I am not saying he is a bad bloke or anything, I was just very suprised that with his notoriety and past incidents that he would get so legless so carelessly in public. I suspect had someone snapped a photo and it made the papers the shit may have hit the fan to a degree with his club.

I'm just too dumb to even have a vague guess as to who it might be...................DOH!

Re: The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

This wouldnt happen to be a player from a club North of Melbourne would it?

Re: The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

Maybe after a few drinks he was feeling just swell.

should that last word have an "s" on it? Oh no, he is out injured. I thought you were being cryptic

I was. It's a bloody anagram. C'mon, that was pretty good.

I know who you are talking about and I don't think you are (right).

Apparantely he is a stay at home type and I'm pretty sure he got married in the off-season.... I don't think the lovely would be to impressed if he was out on the piss to all hours if she is the streotypical female (I know mine ain't to fond of the idea - and yes I'm just generalising here)

Re: The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

It's definitely not the bloke you guys are referring to - he has "found God", so to speak. Actually, his new-found religious awakening is causing some trouble with teammates, especially in the aftermath of recent poultry-related events.
