    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • 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?
