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.

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.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
