I am not sure that just because you play in the AFL you have to be a role model. I understand the bit about not bringing the game into disrepute, but being a role model is another level altogether. Even being a model citizen, doesn’t require you to be a role model.

Yeah, I am not to sure about the role model bit but Ginnivan is showing all the traits of being a proper Smarta*se.

Not sure that makes this behaviour ok.

They were publicly objectifying girls on the internet. This isn't private locker room talk. These guys are role models.

Not saying the behaviour is okay by any stretch. 

I'm just saying that this behaviour now is very popular amongst the younger generation in both male and female especially with tik tok and other social media platform that provides that gateway for this kind of stuff.

For anyone who want to read further on the actual trend they were participating in this link explains a bit further.

Thanks Dazzle, that is an interesting read, especially for someone like myself who is a social media luddite.

Yeah but that's who he is? I don't think he deserves a character assassination over it and think some of the commentary around the way he conducts himself on field has been pretty unfair to be honest.

In a time where we're screaming for some character and spunk in the game, we have a kid who's doing exactly that and yet some are then quick to pot the kid.

He has arrogance for sure but so did Allan Jakovich, Stephen Milne, Jeff Farmer who all liked to show boat on field. 

I personally love it. Watching Shai Bolton the other night was great! I get it irritates people but it's great for the game.

Seems to not really be effecting his on field performance mind you. 22 goals from 11 games as a small forward would put him just behind Bayley Fritsch as one of our higher goal scorers..

Being a role model cant be easy for these kids ,but they have a responsabilty to themselves to behave in the public eye ,that comes with $ they get at such a young age.As a young boy I hung on every word RDB said and every VFL  player.The players of today all have responsabilty to set a good standard of behaviour

Why would one like Shai Bolton's efforts compared to Ginnivan's.

Is it the quieter beginning, the all round talent, the slight detection of mischief compared to arrogance?

Do I go on...

He is still a kid, so there's some chance he'll grow a few more brain cells.

De Gooey on the other hand, appears to be shedding them.

I use the "employable" gauge. As in, how likely is someone to be employed simply on the basis of how they look and present themselves? Body language? Behaviour? I'm not talking tattoos and hair. Just how they carry themselves and "look". De Goey and Ginnivan are what I called "The Unemployables". Otherwise knowm as "The Permanent Performance Plans" and "Chronically Late". They might win you games but dont be surprised if theyre seen slinging tricks at Mens Gallery on a Tuesday night. Tarrant was always going to turn it around.

So now you think he should be judged on his past record. Hope your not planning a career in the law. 

So you don't have a problem with him pulling down a woman's top?  I'm not convinced it was consensual at the time, given her reaction in the video.

She certainly wasn't expecting it and her reaction certainly paints that way.

Kids most definitely look up to footballers whether the footballer wants to be or not they are looked up to and if they publicly display inappropriate behaviour then kids will believe that that behaviour is socially acceptable.

All players entering the system have the talk from the AFL and their club about social media and social responsibility. Yeah boys will be boys and everyone is doing it but that doesn't make it ok.

There is a difference in displaying a bit of arrogance in the way Jakovich and Farmer did and the way in which Ginnivan is going about it . I won't make any comment on Milne, but each to their own I suppose, I reckon I know who would most likely get a smack in the mouth for being a smarta*se.

I don't have a problem with consenting adults interacting. And if the woman said she had no problem or issues about the event its not my nor yours nor Old Dee or DD's business to be telling them how to behave.

But as a Representative of a “Public” Company De Goey has Trashed his Club, so he is a complete tool and it ain’t the first time. 
If he had ONE FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELL, he would have kept a low profile and stayed home. 
But now he has made himself unemployable in this industry 

 

flipping burgers is a long way down

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
