FFS here we go, just what we need. We’re gonna get crucified compared to the Richmond [censored]-grabbers. Unbelievable.

I opened this thread and realised I was in the wrong forum....sorry.

Besides it was consensual touching. Trac guides Hunt’s fingers to the promised land. Nothing to see here. Amicable contest.

  • Demonland changed the title to Inappropriate Touching
 

The big difference is that Petracca was in on the joke, if people are going to give the Hockeyroos girls a pass on theirs then nothing to see here. Bit of fun between mates.

”Former Hockeyroos star Georgie Parker has responded to the groping furore surrounding the AFL and a 2017 photo of her grabbing a teammate.

Parker, who previously took aim at the condemnation of AFL players who touch each other inside dressing rooms, has taken to Twitter to share proof her own teammate grab was all above board.

The 31-year-old was prompted to share the evidence after a Twitter follower asked if her Hockeyroos teammate Kathryn Slattery was “ok” with her groping her backside during the Australian national anthem”

Weirdos all of them.   And yes that includes Hunt and Petracca.   Come out of the closet already fellas.

Proves the theory that majority of AFL players are dumb meat heads. You'd think after the Richmond debacle they all would have learnt a lesson..

How wrong was I..

I personally wouldn’t be doing anything like that but if they are both in on it then seriously this sort of stuff must happen all the time. 

What the Richmond mob did clearly had an uncomfortable participant. 

BBOs opionion on the matter would be valuable for once.

Not many people get expelled from thier extended family Christmas.


Training must be like a Feeling Frenzy! Ridiculous and immature... 

Try doing that to Barry Hall! ? He would wipe out the whole side... ????????

How crass and insensitive of you to bring that up Biffin!

It was all just a misunderstanding ....................... more or less.

I didn’t know what to expect when I saw the title of this thread!

I don’t get the groping or the finger up the [censored] thing amongst teammates. If a bloke tried that in my time he would have been decked. 2 consenting adults in the privacy of their homes well that’s their business.

Having said that its obvious the boys were in on the joke so what does it matter other than just don’t get caught on camera. The blood suckers in the press are always looking for a beat-up so don’t give them the opportunity.


Trac was just trying to pick up an extra vote in the brown-low.

I’ll see myself out.

Double standards, there is more sexual harassment from lesbians than men.

absolutely DD36

I can imagine the club officials and the coach raising the behavior issues with the players and the Tigers players stupidity would have been highlighted.  It’s inappropriate but more so it’s just stupidity.  

My main issue here is the skylarking during the coaches address at 3/4 time before our most important quarter of the season. 

Sure we had a healthy lead and looked like we were going to cruise to victory but we have this habit of going to sleep and not being switched on and then we concede multiple goals. 

Now I’m beginning to see why. 

This issue of not being switched on needs to be addressed in 2021.

Sadly it could be as simple as a lack of respect for the coach and teammates and it’s massive problem if it’s widespread.

This. 

The only response should have been "we are disappointed the players were not fully focused on Goodwin, but have no concerns with the actions as they are fully consensual, unlike other incidents which have been highlighted."

It's really important that this is differentiated, because this apllies to non-football situations too. The problem is not touching. It is the lack of consent. As a society we really struggle with understanding this difference. 

Clearly, it's no big deal, but it gives ammunition to the professionally aggrieved.  They'll love it and use their soapbox.

Exactly. 

Nothing to see here with this.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
