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

https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-demons-pair-slammed-for-ridiculous-groping-act/news-story/4a8faf7b9b5e06d5ddcff9870060eb9b

 

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

Besides it was consensual touching. Trac guides Huntโ€™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.

โ€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 โ€œokโ€ with her groping her backside during the Australian national anthemโ€

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 wouldnโ€™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... ????????

I have been saying it for years dd just because you can play football does not make you a rocket scientist.

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

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

I didnโ€™t know what to expect when I saw the title of this thread!

I donโ€™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 thatโ€™s their business.

Having said that its obvious the boys were in on the joke so what does it matter other than just donโ€™t get caught on camera. The blood suckers in the press are always looking for a beat-up so donโ€™t give them the opportunity.


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

Iโ€™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.  Itโ€™s inappropriate but more so itโ€™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 Iโ€™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 itโ€™s massive problem if itโ€™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.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    Itโ€™s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturdayโ€™s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon canโ€™t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaideโ€™s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the leagueโ€™s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
