Or that it did. We can choose to believe Port/Pearce/ or *GULP* Lucy Cornes.... OR... one of our own. Unless I hear different and it's confirmed, I'm siding with Will.

Two including Picken.

I've been a big supporter of Minson and even when he was struggling I've wanted to see him do well, even more so than a fair few other players, but now I wouldn't begrudge him leaving. The most disillusioned I've been towards the club in general in my comparatively short time supporting them.

I can't really contribute much new material to this thread.

I just want to apologise to anyone in my life who I have ever said something that was nasty, or that could be construed as being nasty, even if I didn't intend it to be nasty. I especially want to mention my two older brothers, who I don't really hate, even though a number of times I have said I did. I would like to make special mention of the people I have faced off against in basketball competitions over the years, particularly the ones whose feelings I hurt when I said they were shit, or those to whom I gave my optometrists' phone number - not his real one- as a way of inferring that their aim in shooting wasn't very good. I have made a number of references to the aesthetic appeal (or lack thereof) of many players, and truth be told, only a few of them could genuinely be considered ugly. And to those ones, I am sorry.

Now, I'm off to buy a brand new set of grapefruits. Gee, this being nice to everyone and never daring to say an ill-word is really quite refreshing isn't it. I should tell Whitten Oval and AFL House.

Tonight, Cassisi reckons the worst things he has ever heard come out of a player's mouth in ten years of footy are the two sledges courtesy of Will Minson. Not a great endorsement. IMO, foolishness. No game is worth winning if that's what you feel you have to say to other players ( if the R word was used )

I took a group including ten rather voluptuous South American girls at the footy who selected Will as their ' Alpha male' They were all chanting' 27! we love you'. Maybe it went to his head.

So he says he was a witness to both?

Seriously! A club imposed 1 match suspension for a "your mum" joke. Seriously? Piss weak!
What ever happened to a club rallying around its player and backing them up? The worst thing is that we allowed them all to slander and character assassinate Wil from the sidelines, without any balance. Wil is twice the person (check out his work, in his spare time I might add, with the Red Dust foundation) any of the so called moral crusaders who have had him hung drawn and quartered over a joke 90% of young males have used before.

I've lost alot of respect for our club, it's board, Simon Garlick, David Smorgon and James Fantasia. They certainly no longer represent me as a member...

Sums up my view totally. Honestly, I am flabbergasted and too fired up to make any further sense. The whole thing is a poor reflection on the world.

I just want someone in the thick of it to buck the trend and just be authentic.

So Picken is to be punished for lying too?

What gets me is this "there is a line" bull sh&t.
Minson said something (that we all agree), Pearce was offended (that we all know). The "line" rests with what the player in question finds offensive, doesn't it?
So to me the blanket "line" is all or nothing. Either everyone sack up and cop whatever is said to you, or Any player found talking to an opposition player will be fined / suspended.

In my basketball comp a few years back, they tried to implement a 'no talking at all to the refs or opponents" rule, supposedly in order to combat the ever-increasing nastiness. It didn't work.

Hard to believe a week for that..... The righteous commentators are making me gag! Even Cameron Mooney came out and bagged big Will. No no its far more appropriate and controlled to physically assault the opposition when you lose control Cameron isn't it!?

As for the Cornes'..... Graham thought Brett Montgomery's sledging of a cancer patient was "witty". Cassisi was playing then too from memory, he must have forgotten that one.

You're on! This bunch are always looking to improve their English. Or...find a visa sponsor
We were hosted by the Bulldogs Engagement Program and cannot speak highly enough of their team. Very generous.

Re: Lucy Cornes in Twitter attack after Will Minson offends Port Adelaide players wit

No doubting we are piss weak when it comes to these off the field issues.

This has been par for the course for a number of years now. We are anything but a robust administration.

I'm not even fussed by the action taken against Will - he does have priors and it was unnecessary by him to engage in such activity. But I can't cop our admin being complicit in burning his reputation at the stake and allowing all and sundry to air their vitriol. Matty Scarlett FFS - the same bloke who Robert Harvey refused to shake hands with after a final in 2008, suh was the level of sledging engaged by him at the time. Kane Cornes - the bloke who makes derisive comments about the death of Will's father. Port Adelaide - the indignant, scorned, agggreived club who had a player pot Rama and his chemo treatment and laughed it off at the time. It shits me no end that our admin cowtow to city hall in some desperate and futile attempt to 'appease sponsors and stakeholders'. Minson has spilt blood for the club over 10 years and we are seemingly happy to arsehole him overnight - he deserved so much more from his club in his hour of need today. We truly are weak as piss off the field and have been for a long time.

He had made a mistake or two along the way but I think he is a great bloke at the club.

Rocket said the same thing on Fox Footy

Re: Lucy Cornes in Twitter attack after Will Minson offends Port Adelaide players wit

Tache you and Lantern conveniently forgot about Collingwood suspending Wellingham for 2 matches. He missed a rehab session. Collingwood didn't worry about hurting their members feelings by suspending Wellingham nor should our Club worry about upsetting a few supporters on a forum by suspending Will.

Apples and oranges. Suspending players because they break YOUR OWN team rules is one thing, failing to defend them from all and sundry is another thing altogether. Supporters love it when their club takes a strong stance on a player who breaks team rules. Not so much when they are tried, hung and quartered by every half-wit who lives within five metres an AFL sanctioned microphone and you just meekly agree.

You think Eddie would have suspended Wellingham because of a complaint from Will Minson or Liam Picken? Dreaming.
