Sleaze Lies Drugs and AFL Bad Culture


Soidee

Recommended Posts

It's no surprise someone at the West Coast Cheats was going to spill the beans eventually on lies and cover ups at this club. Worsfold can continue to deny any knowledge, Eagles Management and staff will also deny involvement, however what peeves me off as a lover of football is the deceit and bad culture that is covered up at all clubs, especially clubs like the eagles who rise to grand finals every few years.

Eagles supporters still think Cousins is a legend and saint!!!! Head up backsides about how their club operates behind the scenes.

Drugs liars and cheats.....

Mach5 and Chook Fowler think everyone's on drugs and they think it's ok.

I'm no stranger to bad behaviour and there's nothing much that can shock me but I've been told that the media is also sitting on another story about a certain high profile footballer who might have bitten off more than he can chew and his strikes have finally all caught up to him. The news is expected to be published soon after the grand final if it gets the ok from the legal people.

Is that a connection to the article referred to by 'Pink Freud' in the 'Luke Parker' thread?

Has anyone on here ever watched a little Thursday night institution called 'The Footy Show'?
Take one good look at that and you'll work out pretty quickly why a certain percentage of AFL footballers remain bigoted meatheads who behave like tip rats on a weekend and why certain parts of the codes culture are exclusionary.
On a bit of a side note, I remember one time going to a Footy Show taping in 2012 (my younger brother had gotten free tickets he had applied for 5 years earlier) and for some reason, Sam Newman decided to give us all a discourse on global warming. It was almost something like out of an Andrew Bolt column.

sounds more interesting than watching a video of sam's prostatectomy though

i'm quite shocked cbf that you actually went to tfs in 2013. your research is generally better than that

or were you attempting a gentrification of tfs?

As I said, I got the tickets from my brother for free.

Unlike yourself who has cocooned yourself in your little doomsday shelter out in Burwood, I am a true renaissance man who deals with all members of the public.

i'll pay that just for laugh value

so your taste is governed by how much a cheapskate you are. i understand

still you must be happy that you can't watch tfs in the land of nippon (unless your brother tapes it for you for free)

Indeed not. I have learnt the principle of going along to get along. In the interests of social cohesion and being amiable, I went along with the other 12 members of our party. Sadly, being an obstinate curmudgeon, this is not a concept that is likely to resonate with you.

Again, unlike yourself, I do not base my existence on the weekly watching of what is quite a banal and lame football show; yet again reinforcing my 'doom bunker comment'.

BTW, who the hell still videotapes things? Do you still have an eight track in your car as well? And when you're not listening to that, do you pull out the walkman to have a listen to Pseudo Echo's version of funky town? Upon which you send a review of said song to your father in law on your fax machine?

P.S. I have no footy show in my life right now Daisy due to my current locale. You will be pleased to know as well that I have found Japan's first all purpose hipster neighbourhood to live in as well. Imagine those scenes from Vietnam with the streets loaded with bikes but replace the standard treadlies with fold out bikes and blokes wearing grandpa hats and that's where I'm at.

i have no idea what gave you the idea that i would waste one millisecond of my life to watch tfs

maybe when i was young and into meaningless social cohesion i might have been duped into such behaviour

i'm really pleased for you cbf that you have found some fellow cherry blossom hipsters. enjoy the fad while it lasts

meanwhile i shall continue pondering the frailties of the human condition from my burwood bunker

Wouldn't that be a telex writer?

There is an implication that some people may actually pay for these tickets?!?? Restore my faith in humanity and tell me it's not true.

All the tickets are free but there is a waiting list as long as your arm. The younger bro applied sometime in 2006 and it took him until 2012 to get a phone call to say he could come.

The actual show itself is bloody exhausting as Michael Pope comes out during every ad break to get the crowd excited for the next segment. One can only cheer so long for a show that is so mediocre.

Went a couple of years ago to the GF episode of TFS because the missus received free tickets through work (and no one else at her work was silly enough to accept the offer).

It was one of the most painful nights of my life, as far as one where you're supposed to be on the receiving end of "entertainment."

Couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.

I hardly ever watch the Footy Show these days but that's because my days of appreciating brain dead smutty schoolboy humour have long passed me by. However, it's worth knowing that this is the wellspring of our football culture and once you're aware of this fact then you can understand better why and how some members of the crowd at AFL games behave the way they do.

I agree with nearly all you say there Jack-but Smutty humour has it's place and time,outside the schoolyard in my case due to current laws .Inside the schoolyard for many a teacher on here,who somehow are allowed to work with children.

In fact, this is the schoolyard you have when you are far too old for school.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
