Paige Cardona is a budding expert on future AFL stars but she and a few of her Deer Park teammates have landed in hot water over comments on Facebook about their game last weekend against Mordialloc AFL Victoria moves to suspend female Deer Park players over facebook comments.

A case of officialdom going over the top?

Looks like it...

A James Hird plot to cause distraction?

Surely can't be serious !!

Lucky we are not subject to AFL rules here!

(Not that there's anything wrong with the rules here..... )

Oh good. Women's football may not get much of the funding, but apparently they can still get just as much of the bureaucratic martinets.

Ahh, 'martinet'. There's a word that could be wheeled out a bit more in the world today.

Surely there must have been offensive posts that have since been deleted...

If not- that's utterly ridiculous.

to justify a 2 week ban on amateurs it would have to be an epic violation of the womens league social media policy (if they have one).

if it is just "it was a tough game and im really sore" then its a disgrace.

Seems ludicrous to me, not that it is alone there ...

Storm in a tea cup.... close thread

I think in the context of women's footy that would be martinettes, wouldn't it?

storm in a 't' cup, surely.... wish every one would keep their pants on

keep us posted beez

ah geez, you beat me to it.

Were they talking about another player when they said 'truck'?

Going by that article, this seems like absolute crapola. An total non-issue.

Some of the comments on facebook in recent years regarding the Northern Football League in Melbourne would melt your eyes compared to that stuff, and I haven't heard about guys missing games because of that. Wouldn't happen, so shouldn't happen with the girls.

they were told that if they appeal it would cost them $5,000 each

rich girls justice?

Along with jiggery pokery. Its just not used enough. This is definitely jiggery pokery.

Nothing wrong with those comments at all. Surely there must be something more to it?

Too many people at AFL house with not much to do?

Ahh, 'martinet'. There's a word that could be wheeled out a bit more in the world today.

Agree. It's fallen out of use in footy circles after having a certain fashion in the Neeld era.

The "nothing-to-see-here" posters are commenting on unseen deleted tweets . Eh ?

Looks like bureaucrats picking on soft targets to me.
