I think Minson will get 1 week with the club also imposing a fine.Comment

Re: Lucy Cornes in Twitter attack after Will Minson offends Port Adelaide players wit
Interesting how many are going into bat for Will, yet none of us know what was actually said. Regardless of whether sleding is a legitimate tactic or not, there is a line and perhaps Will has crossed it....he certainly did in his comments about Corne's son which most here appear to have conceded.
My view is he will get two weeks and it wil be imposed by the club under pressure from the AFL. McGinnity received a week for something similar but Will has priors so it's unlikely that he will get the same sentence.
Like it or not, the AFL has made it clear that this sort of thing won't be tolerated and players have nowhere to hide if they ignore the AFL's policy. Disappointed that Will even saw the need to go down this path in a game that was comfortably in our keeping. It wasn't exactly a high pressure match where emotions were running freely. It was Danyle Pearce afterall......not Campbell Brown or Hayden Ballantyne.
Sorry to run against the general consensus on this board. I love Will and genuinely believe he is of great character but he's stuffed up (again) in this situation.I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.Comment

Supposedly the AFLPA has educated the players (over and over) as to what is and what isnt acceptible, and discussing a players family isnt acceptible. Si (if he did) Minson said something that he has previously been warned he cant say.
I suspect he will get 1 (maybe 2) weeks as wellComment

Is it really discussing a player's family telling them an obvious lie? How can you take it seriously? If anyone is hurt by it then it's weak.
Obviously this is a personal vendetta against Minson.
You won't be allowed to talk to opposite soon.
You are allowed to sledge a person's character which is what Pearce did but say an obvious lie it's a no-no.
It's been happening since day dot in sport.
Whats the difference when Michael Voss did the same sledge to his brother Brett?Comment

The reporting of this is BS.
Minson's sledge against Pearce's mum?
Well the sledge is on Pearce not his mum. If he is bragging abour sleeping with his mum then I would think it was consential.Comment

Its pretty farcical.
If what Minson said was in fact along the lines of "I f****d your mum..." and that has caused offence to the point where its trotted out in the media, and under AFL investigation - then its mystifying.
Anyone who had played footy - or probably any contact sport for that matter - has heard this sort of stuff regularly. I'm not saying its not stupid - it is, but its so stupid that you don't take offence to it. Its just nonsense to laugh off.Comment

1. Would Lenny Hayes or Jimmy Bartel have been soft enough to be offended by this? Would they have run to Big Brother to protect them from big bad Will Minson? Would they have allowed their club to come out saying today that they are 'supporting them in this difficult time'? FFS, whatever Will said, Danyle needs to pull his head out and get out into the real world and see what a difficult time really is.
2. I've had it with bogan culture for a while, but it just flourishes in this game. I can't imagine a more ludicrously ironic situation than a Cornes WAG calling a noted intellectual (Will) an oxygen thief.
3. Will may be suspended, but it's Pearce that will be tarred with this for the rest of his career. Soft is worse than stupid.
To paraphrase whatever the hell it was that Will said, the AFL can go ******* itself.Comment
