Why did you make me read an article with Whately quotes in it?
“ wasn’t the callous intent to breach”, - WTF does that mean - he certainly intended to breach, it wasn’t ignorant or accidental, but Whately can somehow divine that he wasn’t “callous” when he did it?
Was he “empathic” when he got ■■■■■■ in the streets of Williamstown?
Shove your Thesaurus where the sun don’t shine Whately.
Just because you’re smarter than Jonathan Brown doesn’t mean you make any sense whatsoever.
Followed by the “go easy on him, he could have done worse things” plea from Whately.
Maybe our resident legal experts on Blitz can tell us how often that one’s worked in Court.
“STAR Collingwood midfielder Steele Sidebottom faces a ban of up to four weeks for his multiple breaches of Covid 19 protocols”
“Collingwood is trying to reduce the number of games the club’s vice-captain will miss, believing no more than two would be fair. The suspension is set to be announced on Wednesday.”
however what it does prove is how weak our club has become, we negotiate nothing, we just roll over after being whacked on the nose and beg, “please sir, belt us some more”.
Funny how we’re reading their rubbish…
Their quotes out of context to create an emotion…
You’d think we’d learned from the saga and Connor…
Obviously not.
Might have been some negotiations between Gil and Dill on interpretations of the AFL rules, how many mutiple rules Conor marginally broke after feeding a line to journos?
The difference in media treatment of Conor and these two, either shows that the media and ex-players are learning to be better in control of their emotions or…
You couldn’t possibly know that. Eddie just has a very loud voice and platform and tries to control the narrative as soon as stuff happens. People see through it now though. He’s been sooking way too much lately.
I’d say it’s more because Conor testing positive meant the potential for many other players to have to quarantine and risking matches being postponed vs these actions, although worse, only affecting the individual players. As usual, AFL needed to deflect attention and blame away from themselves first, hence the initial crucifying of Conor.
