I've posted here before about some AFL footballers drinking in the bar I manage in Sydney.ย This weekend we had quite a few more that really made utter dills of themselves and obviously imbibed more than any professional athlete should. I'm aware that it's easier for the Sydney teams as they aren't the household faces that the traditional state teams players are but if this is happening so much here, why are we getting so sensitive over seemingly smaller indiscretions. By comparison I would suggest our boys are far more professional in their approach but do we think our lads get up to as much mischief that we don't know about?ย 

ย 

If they were GWS kids all well and good !

Leak the story to the press.Name names.

Tell all Mr Reims.

Any distraction for them is a bonus.

ย 

Do they share a cistern top?

It was the GWS boys, I'm not interested in it being a press thing but I don't care about naming names either. This weekend it was Shaw, Taranto and I think Coniglio. Previously it's been Patton, Franklin, Aliir Aliir and Grundy. The purpose of the topic was do we know of similar behaviour in our boys? I was pretty dismayed at Taranto getting involved so young, whilst Bernie is known party boy I would hope he isn't taking Petracca or Oliver out with him to learn those habits

Eastern suburbs I'm guessing.

Perhaps Bondi .

Sadly, the press don't care about GWS here or there because they are an artificial team with no supporters.

I doubt we would have to worry about Petracca. He has been involved in a high level basketball system since a young age (at State and National level). So I think he is safe, he probably adhered to stricter standards most of his sporting life - than he is expected to adhere to in the AFL. Oliver is a worry though. But he is a country lad so probably won't play up in the spotlight of the city. Not sure I'd be worried about any of our other youth. They appear to be very level headed and sensible (ANB, Stretch, Brayshaw, Salem, Petracca, Hunt, Kennedy-Harris).

To much money and free time.

You think? Players are often at the club by 8am and don't leave until 5. That's 5 days a week, then there's match day. Not forgettingย other club related appearances, marketing promo, and in the case of Jack Watts, saving kittens fromย busy roads. Point being that fit players don't have a great deal of free time, probably why some tie one on when they do.

Smarter players will keep their nose clean and use the chance to set themselves up with a career after footy.ย

Or at least drink at home. I reckon there would be quite a few AFL players who drink at home during the week. Probably not massive amounts, but certainly amounts they'd cop heat for it they drank it out and about. It is about perception. Drinking mostly only becomes a problem for clubs when we hear about it.

Seeing as both Sydney teams are doing better than us at the minute, maybe a leaf to be taken out of their book? Get on it boys

I'm not sure why you'd risk business from these guys by outing them on here and statingย yourย position so publicly.ย

3 am visit for a little "redecorating"


Bit harder for our boys to get away with it given their captain is as professional as it comes during the season. Jones sets a very high standard as captain, and those who fall short would have him to answer to.

If you keep outing, I doubt you will be managing for long, you do realise that both Barrett and Stevens are avid readers of this site and wouldn't care about you going under the bus for a story, but hey its your job

Appreciate the concern, but I've been doing this for 16yrs or so. Heresay on a public forum isn't quite the all powerful thing some you of obviously think it is. But I'll keep my observations to myself from now on if it offends so much

Avid readers! Bwahahaha!!!ย 

Do they wearย their spy glasses and use the shoeย phone while going through all the threads?

Someone pleaseย post an image ofย the Get Smartย agent whoย hides in tiny places.

The best story they'd get on here would be about BBOs jolly good flogging habits

He never said they were gay- just boring drunks.

Someone was hoping Kelly came down with a case of the runs this week. MrReims, can you make this happen? A Metamucil Martini perhaps?

Has this ever been confirmed or proven? I see posters say this often but suspect it's exactly what they're accusing journos of doing.... guessing without proof.

Reims don't be silly, how many 000s of people are on DL and a couple have thrown out the wet blanket.ย

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
