Well Paton seems to fit a fair amount of people statstically with his sexting. A university of Sydney showed the follwing data in regards to sexting.

Have you ever sent a sexual message: 13 to 15 year olds 38%. 16 to 18 50% and adults 19 and over 59%.

Have you ever recieved a sexual message: 13 to 15 year olds 62%. 16 to 18 70% and adults 68%.

I wonder how many of them do it on a regular basis like Patton has. He is a sports person and should know better but it seems to be a common habit amongst people. I would rather look at different cans of beer than get involved with this shizen.

    Those survey results paint a sad picture of how young people go about personal relationships.  But maybe I'm a bit old school when it comes to communicating with people. 

    Presumably the survey covered sexting that was consensual. 

    The issue with Patton is he sent very explicit images and videos, which were unsoliciited and by some accounts has been doing so for years.

    Lol, that's like arguing that the charges against DeGoey aren't serious because hey, who hasn't brought a girl home after a night out. Sexting isn't the issue - it's the lack of consent.

    Numerous women have been allegedly sexually harassed.

    Patton has checked into hospital for mental health treatment.

    And this thread seems to be about who is the 'smuttiest'.

    So, who are you supporting?

    Was only a matter of time.

    Is there no one at the club or in his family that can teach him the value of taking responsibility for your own actions.

    You’ve shown support for JP because the clown has pulled the mental health card.

    No I haven't.

    I've pointed out there's serious issues here and the Demonland commentary has revolved around smutty jokes and now apparently pathetic name calling.

    Grow up.

    Why is it everytime a AFL player gets in trouble they blame mental illness?

    You probably shouldn't get on your high horse and start berating other posters.

    I know you're now confused about the Patton issue because you were probably about to criticise his behaviour and now he's a victim of mental health/social media but really just try not to make it about yourself.

    Nobody is all good/all bad.

    One day you might adjust to that reality.

    It’s a very interesting question, I had a little argument with someone once saying that it appears (on the surface) that it’s a very common occurrence for public figures who have made morally poor decisions/illegal acts to end up pulling out the “taking time away for mental health reasons”. 

    It’s difficult not to see it from the public’s point of view as the person not taking proper responsibility for their actions and using mental health as a screen to hide behind. 

    That said, I have no doubt that the nature of this story being made public has caused him great distress and affected his mental health because it probably would to anyone.

    That was the entire point of my post.

    Ironic that you would miss that whilst tripping over yourself to have a crack at me.

    Perhaps stick to the dirty jokes.

    My jokes aren't usually dirty.

    Crass and infantile,often crude and offensive ,but I leave dirty to others.

    It's because of attitudes like this that people drive their cars into trees rather than confront the reality and seriousness of mental illness and get the help they need.

    Doesn't surprise me in the slightest TBH.
    Young bloke front page of the paper and all over social media outted for being a serial self flagellator.
    Long tough road infront of him as he'd be gettng sledged from all directions for years to come.
    Public humiliation such as this would be tough to deal with.
    I'd be concerned for his mental wellbeing also.

    I’ve had my fair share of mental health problems. I take meds everyday that really work for me, but I’ve also ended up in hospital from being in some fairly scary places inside my own head. I’m very upfront about it to anybody, as aside from being a Melbourne supporter, I appear to be a fairly well adjusted, well mannered and ‘in control’ person.

    I absolutely loathe the confusion that these kind of situations create for the general pubic around mental health issues. It really does come across, as others have noted, as a ‘card played’. I know for a fact that this has been the case in the AFL in regards to recreational drug issues in the passed. If it truly is the case that a player is having a mental health crisis then the AFLPA needs to have an agreement with the media that it doesn’t get reported on. It’s a better outcome for the player involved, and much better for the community - who can understand mental health problems as diverse and unique, but not feel like they are just a PR stunt.

    No doubt he's got underlying issues with how he spends his spare time but I'd suggest mental health concerns relating to his personal safety are the priority after he has been so publicly exposed.

    I'm not defendng his behaviour but it's the sort of thing that could tip some over the edge.

    For sure. I agree with you. I’m more venting my frustration at how confusing this makes mental health issues for the general public, when they don’t hear about it except in these circumstances. 

    You’ve got to wonder what the point of it being reported on actually is anyway. It’s certainly no good for him if it’s true, so why is it all over the papers? It just adds to the public cynicism.

    Same reason media outlets go with any headline these days.
    Will it make good clickbait.
    I'll bet they couldn't wait to run with it.

    • 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. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’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 Adelaide’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 league’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?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
