A.F.L. Thread II

[Spikey]

Would have cracked 2000 too if not for Hargrave and Nick Haynes being late-outs. Up to 5,614. Just the one 0 this coming week too, although I suspect Hargrave and the usual resting from GWS will create problems.

Have already made two of my trades tho.

Ellis out
Michael Johnson to the back line
Beams in

McDonald out (could end up being Treloar or Smith. Depends on who gets rested)
Sam Gibson in (NM)

130K in the bank

Thoughts on big Will "I study Engineering and hate indy music" Minson's slur against Pearce's mother?

Bulldogs have banned him for a week. I'm sure it has to do with the fact he's a repeat offender considering what he said to Kane Cornes back in 08.

Will is such a weird cat. Reckon Eade had it right when he described him as the ''the dumbest smart bloke in the competition''

This issue reminds me of the discussion in Cricket Chat about sledging and bringing family into it etc. I would have posted it in there too if it wasn't closed

What's he supposed to have said? Report I saw went for the "not divulging" line.

As he's previoysly had a pop at Kane's sick child tho I think it's fair to assume it goes beyond the "yo momma's so fat..." kinda thing. Bloke's probably a massive prick.

That said, she is at least 50% responsible for calling her son "Danyle", so I'm really conflicted here...

[Spikey]

Week seems a bit harsh. But then he has history and I don't know what he said. you would have thought, given the history was against the exact same team, he'd be going under the radar

[Spikey]

That there's a new coach and plenty of young kids might have paid a part. You know 'culture of the club'

[Jono]

Important to note the Dogs banned him for a week, not the AFL.

Would anyone think differently if the AFL had banned him? Has happened before hasn't it?

[BoyBrumby]

Might be my suspicious mind, but when clubs ban players for infractions of whatever kind I always suspect it's slightly pre-emptive to try to prevent the league imposing a longer ban. "We're managing it in house..."

[Spikey]

Yeah don't really doubt the AFL would have done it anyway. Jumping before pushed.

Ebert summed it up well really, stay away from race, religion and family and that sort of stuff. There's butt loads else you can sledge about. I mean, ask him how he feels about being a **** player for the last 5 years or w/ever

I agree with you for the record, but that was not the view of many people in Cricket Chat regarding sledging (I mean with records to family being off limits that is, I agree that bagging one's mum isn't the same as racism, which said debate resulted in it being closed).

Can't comment specifically because we don't know the details of this, but if it was a generic mum insult it's soft.

Though tbf he deserves a week because it's such a poor quality type of insult.

[Jono]

I can't imagine its a generic mum insult considering Cassisi's comments on the issue.

Anyone remember Adam Selwood making jokes about Des Headland's daughter (Headland had a tattoo of his daughter on his arm I believe)? Apparently said he ****ed her etc.

Did he get weeks?
