sorry stuie, i just can't condone violence, let alone finance it

it just goes against my judeo-christian moral compass

so boooo

[Dr John Dee 1,057]

Actually, I don't mind this ... since it looks more like a statement about the MRP and its inconsistencies (wasn't Gibson fined $1000 only a week ago for a second striking offence for the year?) rather than some sort of endorsement of the grievous crime of wrestling.

lol DC, trying to get a rise out of the atheists?

You sneaky man you.

What a bunch of "all talk-ers" you blokes are.

As explained, clearly Nathan Jones doesn't need the money, and it's not going to him anyways because it can't.

It's a symbolic show of support for the spirit shown this year and the weekend's game in particular.

It's funny, the facebook groups have got right behind it and understand the nature of it, yet good old 'Land just have a whinge as usual.

To be fair, that's largely because the facebook groups are chock-full of absolute simps.

[PaulRB 6,297]

It's just a symbolic show of support, it's no big deal, it won't even be much money, it's like the little kid who sent Wattsy his pocket money.

I'll buy the whole club a round of drinks when they deliver our first flag in over 50 years...

My annual membership and weekly attendance should do the rest.

I don't believe rewarding mediocrity breeds success.

nice bit of self delusion rationalisation there doc

Why would the captain of any club be paid extra money for playing like he should play every week..

[McQueen 17,864]

I liked what Jonesy did and the fine for it was ridiculous.

How about 'Pledge per Wrestle.'

[Cards13 9,117]

I might have to take Stuie off ignore to get the benefit of his thread... Nah

[Uncle Fester 2,843]

Make Pendles pay it.

[stuie 7,374]

Yep. Typical Demonland response. Should of known better.

Back to the endless Dawes/Watts/Drafting threads then hey.

Raise your keyboards ye knights of Demonland...

[Uncle Fester 2,843]

If I give you a dollar will you stop being a bellend for ten minutes?

[deanox 9,657]

I have no problem with this. It's no different than the "pay per win " the club organises.

A group of supporters decoded that they would like to donate to the cub in appreciation of our boys showing some sort of effort and fight on field.

It is humorously aimed at raising $1000 to meet the cost of the fine, but will on fact be donated to the club footy department.

Sorry you didn't get the response you wanted. Isn't an amazing thing that people have differing opinions although, a fairly homogenous one about you.

[P-man 13,366]

What's next? Stuie serving the next two week suspension that one of our players gets?

Actually that's an idea I can get behind...

Could we campaign to make it longer? Two weeks feels a bit light. We don't want to get off easy.

Nailed it PRB...

Exactly typifying it right there McQueen.

Facebook gets behind it and "gets it", Demonland just sooks about each other and the club rather than actually considering doing something.

But I'm sure you feel like a bigger man now hey? Nice one.

[stuie 7,374]

Just delete this thread mods.

Should of known better.

[Sir Why You Little 36,629]

Look Stuie....Feel free to donate your piggy bank to the cause....Jonesy will be stoked i am sure...

[stuie 7,374]

I'm sure he reads some of your Schwab threads to get pumped up before every game.

Would half the people on these Facebook pages be able to afford putting something in? Most of them seem to be 14 year old kids who want to talk rubbish or spout unsubstantiated rumours that they got from their friends turtles cab driver.

This below is what we should be focusing on:

I don't know what paying Jones' fee achieves. You wrestled someone for 10 seconds so we'll pay for your fine? Seems misguided to me Stu. I applaud this 'toughness' but I'll tip something in when the club actually does something come September.

Mate it's just a cheeky thing some of use thought would be a funny way to show our support.

People are just tipping $2 - $5 each, so it's not a big deal.

Think some of you have forgotten about the joy of following footy and prefer the misery and complaining.

I get the cheeky part.

But if there are enough of you on Facebook who can put in that sort of money then wouldn't it be better spent on things that can be used around the club, rather than on a fine that is like loose change to someone like Nate Jones? Just a suggestion.

And disagreeing isn't the same as complaining. Some actually agreed, others thought it was silly. That's the nature of the beast.
