    Or the endless pontification in this thread.

    Not to prolong this more than it needs to be but the one constant I find with De Goey in all these scenarios is that he's alone. Rarely mention of teammates or close friends being present. I brought up Chris Tarrant before but I remember most of his indiscretions were with teammates there, usually Ben Johnson.

    Could be one of these lone ranger party animals that likes the buzz of venturing out and getting attention like a Wayne Carey back in the day. Possibly addicted to the thrill of it. I don't know, just a thought.

    Could be, but how about this - no one else is dumb enough to go with him on these trips.

    Not sure about in Bali but he has had 'friends' with him when other problems have cropped up.  They take the pics/films and put them on social media.  In Bali his 'friends' could be newbies while there.  As one media commentator put it: "they throw him under a bus then reverse over him."   .  Sometimes he does the damage himself by taking selfies for social media.

    Jordie needs to wise up on a lot of fronts.  One is to dump those who exploit him and find real mates that will protect him from himself in potential risky situations, and from others. 

    Hopefully, he hasn't left it too late, not just for his football but for himself after football.

    That's it, maybe he just has too many 'Yes' people in his circle LH. Pretty easy to find drinking buddies but you are who you roll with at the end of the day.

    Why defend the meathead.

    Not defending him, I think it's a ordinary look, from a bloke who has some ordinary form, but the specific event is pretty minor itself given (what I understand to be correct):

      -  woman involved has stated she has no issues with him

      -  he didn't film/distribute it (which is pretty ordinary in itself)

    I'm just calling out the disproportionate reaction to this specific event. The outrage and reaction is feeding the story and has become the story. The layers of outrage are multiplying. Every commentator having to find a new angle to express outrage, and out-outrage each other. The outrage at the apology... So many people with so much outrage and offence taken on behalf of someone who is not offended, and on behalf of everyone else in general who should be offended, and outrage at people that aren't offended... 😟

    Do you think he realised he was being filmed?

    The oral sex sign FOR the camera ffs!

    Bloke is a meathead despite it being blown out of proportion.  It seems you condone this type behaviour 100% by your responses in this thread.  DO you understand remotely why certain groups, ie women, people with mental health issues may get offended?  It is pretty clear there are genuine groups of people upset for real reasons, don't try and belittle their responses with jargon about outrage for a player who  "thinks" he is being persecuted. 

    Have seen worse things but no way does it condone his behaviour.

    i think you you are actually trolling people to get reactions fwiw.  You "want" disproportionate reactions so you can try and shoot them down with dribble about who should actually be offended.  You should apply to be his spokesperson, he would never play another game lol.

    Herald Sun commentator calls out Daisy Pearce for not being outraged enough... Case Closed!! 😔

    This whole exercise is an irrelevant sideshow for people who should direct their energies towards more productive activities

    De Goey succumbed to outrage and release contrite, yet stage managed mea culpa... 🙄

    DeGoey is finished. Bloke did nothing wrong and now spends his days pandering to a rabid media contingent. These blokes need to get back to putting their head down and training for what they’re paid for - playing football. Just ignore the media, they are parasites. A simple “no comment” is always the perfect response.

    The spontaneous tweet he issued (clearly without prior consultation with the Club) immediately after the pics getting out is indicative of how he really feels. 

    The apology video released this afternoon was produced entirely by the Club. It was contrived and every question was answered with a crafted response. 
    I don’t know why Clubs do this. It’s patently obvious these ‘apologies’ aren’t organic. Of what benefit are they? I see them as an insult to ppl’s intelligence.

    Exactly

    Coordinated fake response to Coordinated fake attack

    The whole episode has been driven by those on the sidelines craving importance and relevance for an agenda totally unrelated to the event

    I would have some respect for him had he stuck by his convictions, ie, not caved in, and stayed true to himself. By agreeing to this apology video he’s pretty much lost any modicum of respect since he’s clearly doing for $$$ in terms of his contract value. 
    Compromised values are of no value whatsoever.

    Woke virtue signalling from club reacting to media sensationalism and outcry from the perpetually offended on behalf of others

    Classic to see some upper middle aged woman on 9 News lecturing us on how "sick of this" young woman are... Waiting for the release of the statistically significant research to support that statement 🧐

    Well said Yeatsy:- most accurate post in this mind numbing thread.

    Subject to further off field indiscretions, the media pack's view of whether he is a 'good for footy' bloke or not will be determined by how well he plays from here...

    >  Plays mostly very well or better = all is forgiven / top bloke who appears to be completely reformed and back on track.  Clubs circling / Very happy where he is, about to put pen to paper on a lucrative new deal with the Pies.

    >  Plays mostly average or worse =  Still has ongoing issues that haven't been resolved and/or likely to resurface.  Needs to reform and continue to work on self development.  Clubs circling / Very unhappy at the Pies, rumoured to be looking elsewhere for less coin.

    De Goey is an unprofessional lout and always has been. Remember his lies about his dog biting his hand when in fact he injured it in a bar brawl. I think he was a second year player at the time. He’ll never learn. Trying to use mental health now as an excuse.  He’ll be the talented player, could have been anything, but didn’t have the drive or temperament to realise his potential

    But in terms of this incident, he hasn’t broken any law or club rules. The whole bringing the game into disrepute bit doesn’t wash with me. May and Melksham brawling in a Prahran restaurant is a terrible look as well but the ALF took no action there either.

    This is not about treatment of women unless you think we should take a paternalistic view of this ladies choices in life. This lady has agency, can make up her own mind, dress how she wants. And socialise with a dh like De Goey if she wants to. Maybe she is a dh as well and they are a match made in heaven. She has said she has no issue with his behaviour. Why are we downplaying or choosing to ignore what she has to say? Isn’t that the definition of sexism.

    Anyways, De Goey is not worth the hassle. Could have been re-charging his batteries with a relaxing break but choose alcohol and clubbing instead. No law against it, but shows where his priorities lie. I’m glad he’s Collingwood’s problem.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
