      I tend to agree.

        Just caught the back end of that. 4-6 weeks or the "biggest stick available" FFS.

        If Minson is denying it, then it has to go to the tribunal and be tested with witness accounts.

        I've never understood mum jokes, they go straight over my head.
        TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

            Ridiculous, thy are going to crucify him. Robbo has lined him up fair and square within the idea of AFL being a safe and inclusive environment for women. Caro and Hutchy have gone way over the top. Moral outrage.

            Matty Scarlett hanging Will out to dry as well. Like he is an angel.

              This is ludicrous, and funnily enough, represents my absolute last straw with this game and its self appointed moral guardians who are happy to pander to power and celebrity while sticking their boots into those they deem beneath their notice and worthy of contempt.

              If Minson gets any weeks I'm walking away from the game I had loved for decades, but have increasingly become disillusioned with. The straw that breaks the camel's back for me.

                        I've felt like this for a while.

                        My pup loves the Storm and I've been to a few games now, I'm enjoying it more than footy.

                          I had to look it up.


                          Chad Cornes
                          He is an absolute disgrace. Is there a stronger word than hate?

                          I've pieced Will Minson's side of the story together from various quotes from different articles.


                          Minson: Initial sledge, nothing on that
                          Pearce: "What have you ever done"
                          Minson: ""I ****** your mother for half an hour last night."

                          Liam Picken can back up his story.

                          Port are claiming it was a lot worse and more to do with a forceful nature.

                            What ever happened to the old days when you got sledged with what ever type of comment, had a box on on the field and then had a beer with them after the game. Todays generation are to sensitive and need to grow a set. I used cop a lot of that sort of thing in my day and if you let it bother you they win. To me it just completive banter and no more.

                              I hope you have a rethink of this because I think there is a chance that Minson cops a week.
                              There has been a precedent set with McGinnity and I can't see how Minson gets away from it unless they deem a large fine and some counseling sufficient.

                              While I think players need to have thicker skins and not get upset by comments like that I still believe that experienced players like Minson need to be better than making comments.
                              The silly thing is that he already had a bad reputation with Port and has just thrust himself into the position of public enemy #1.

                              Will was having a great season and doesn't need this distraction.

                              On a side note, I wonder if the Dogs will now upgrade Tom Campbell if Minson gets suspended?

                                Same. How does a comment about your mother, or anybody else you know they have never met, cause such offence? Who cares, just laugh in their face.

                                So I assume there was some mention of r***.

                                Not the classiest thing Will has done, but as said above considering players are let off for not hitting a player hard enough, stomping on their hand and elbowing (Judd) surely this can't be worth a suspension, otherwise it'll turn into "You can break a nose but under no circumstances can you make an obviously false comment about someone you don't even know".
                                I should leave it alone but you're not right
