Or the endless pontification in this thread.

Seriously time to move on 

[layzie 28,520]

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... 🙄

[KingDingAling 3,589]

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.

[WalkingCivilWar 31,155]

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.

A nothing punishment is fitting for a nothing crime...

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. 

[Demon Dynasty 15,210]

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.

He missed a trick here. 

Should have said…

’Don’t go overseas and do anything Jordan De Goey wouldn’t do - TWICE!. Thanks everybody you’ve been a great audience. Try the veal. Good night!’
