Heart stopping headline

[old dee 23,786]

This afternoon I saw a story headline " Melbourne footballers in mad Monday sex act. Turns out it is a story about the Glen Waverley hawks football club. A number of times during the early part of the story they keep saying " Melbourne Footballers" as usually written from Sydney but very poor wording. The MFC should sue.

If it had said " Hawks players in Mad Monday sex act" it would have been even better.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the headline George.

Good to see that your heart still skips a beat when reading an article about “sex acts” OD - there’s clearly life in the old fox…

Having the name "Melbourne" is generally valuable given it's the name of the city as opposed to a suburb or a non-existent location such as "West Coast". I guess sometimes with the good must come the bad. Thankfully, the good outweighs the bad many times over.

Actually I think the story is old news isn't it?  (I'm not going to repeat the details of the story I'm thinking it refers to).

I hadn't heard it RG but it was top of the news this afternoon for a few hours.

I'm surprised there's not more talk about former Collingwood "legend" Joffa Corfe pleading guilty to a child abuse charge.

I can’t speak for other cheer squads but with ours it’s mandatory to have a Working With Children Check and then to ensure it’s always up to date. We actually have two DA members whose job it is to maintain a register of such. 

In light of today’s events in Court we now have to do a course in Working With Children as well as the annual WWC Check.

I’m by no means complaining though. In fact I welcome it. Clearly our Club takes this issue very seriously. As should all clubs.

edit: the WWC check doesn't apply   to every single DeeArmy member. But it does apply to members who are involved in certain areas… working at the Demon Shop, banner making and raising, working at the BBQs are three examples.

The Club have had the specific WWC course along with the WWC for some years. I believe it applies to all Volunteers with the Club.

You’re right, LSNM. The one change that’s come from today’s events is that the course that was scheduled for February is probably gonna be brought forward. This applies to the DA. Might be different for the various other Volunteer groups.

I find it sad that these things need to happen. Has our world gone nuts? It seems that the world has an increasing number of perverts that have to be prevented from damaging our young. As a parent and grand parent I find it very distressing. Keep up the good word ladies and gentlemen.

It's always been nuts Old Dee. Hard to know if numbers are increasing.  In the past many were lurking in supposed safe environments (I think you know where I mean) but every kid is on the many social media avenues now which are a haven for these vile rock spiders. 

It's so hard for us to find the balance of safety vs trust for our loved ones. Educating them re the dangers is so important as well as keeping our eyes and ears open.

It's tough, but it comes with the job.

Very late for a Mad Monday headline!

Not surprised about the lack of Joffa news. Eddie has probably lent him some of his teflon.
