Remember in his youth where clarry went off at the muppet blues fan in the crowd with the 784 chins and rough lid? I still laugh when I think of that

Can you name one time that Clarry has been rude or disrespectful to any member of the media despite being relentlessly harassed by them?

If he pulled the sort of BS that Smith or Ginnivan has, we’d never hear the end of it.

Cannot stand the behaviour from Smith, he’s an entitled little germ who has had the cloak of professional football hide his sins. Pretty privilege is real

I've known Clarry since his days at the Murray Bushrangers where I did some part time work when he was coming through the system.

I dont bump into him as much in the off season as I use too socially, but boy the stories and stuff you see first hand 🤣

Lets not pretend he's a saint.

Smith has some nerve to have a go at a photographer doing her job, when that [censored] earns so much money from posting thirst trap photos of himself half naked all over the internet.

His Cotton On sponsorship is worth more than his Geelong contract ffs.

Geez I wish we had the wonderful CULTURE like the Cats. The media rubs themselves to excitement mode with Jezza and Danger (cold spoon needed for Hudson and Whateley).

But there is silence around Bruh#n, Stengle and Smith for their behaviours.

It’s like the media and the AFL themselves have a lot of ex cats players or support the Cats. Oh yes, forgot … they do !!!

Smith is copping a heap of grief.

Agree just not sure why people are complaining about the lack of noise right now. He's getting a bunch of heat.

Given suspensions for other types of anti-social behaviour and offensive comments he should be suspended.

A repeat offender both on 'the bird' and verbal abuse of this particular photographer.

But he plays for Geelong and is in Brownlow contention. It will be another double standard of the AFL rules applying to some and not others.

For once I hope the media defies its complicity with the AFL and turns up the heat for a suspension.

Yeah, nah.

He's a [censored] bloke and made an absolute pillock of himself but unless he said something genuinely misogynistic to her then I wouldn't be suspending him. Maybe a fine.

Did I read Brad scott say other club supporters are jealous of essendon supporters.

No Brad, we really aren't

So now Chris Scott has had to apologise because he blasted a junior female afl staff member.

charming club

And not surprisingly the AFL says matter closed.

I wasn't referring to misogynism (altho I do wonder if he would behave similarly toward a male photographer let alone one 20+ years his senior).

He has twice verbally abused that photographer of 25 years who was doing her job at the invitation of his employer. It is a workplace. The photographer's gender isn't relevant to acceptable workplace behaviour. Willy Rioli was suspended for sending a 'threatening' style text to an opp player.

Smith is a repeat offender and imv should be sanctioned. There is no room for workplace bullying toward anyone.

King still not a fan of Brad Scott...

Why are essendon not holding their best and fairest until October? Did they think they'd go late into finals🤣

Why isn't Essendon getting the same culture bashing as Melbourne last year? Last year the narrative was how terrible Melbourne is and how all the players want out. No one ended up leaving. Essendon has 3 of their most important players all wanting to leave (2 100% gone) and it's all about Merrett being selfish and not a true leader.

I agree.

Nevertheless, I'm surprised we're not hearing about any Board challenges.

Glad the spotlight is firmly off the Dees for a change. They did try a few digs with Spargs and BIlling retirements not being handled the best, but it didnt obviously take.

Has the AFL said anything publically regarding the B.Smith disrespectful behaviour?

They are copping heaps and handling themselves very poorly.

This is a bigger mess than us in 2024 by a long shot. At least Max wasn't meeting with Sam Mitchell last year!

Why is Carlton not copping more from the media is what surprises me.

Essendon copping a lot of heat. Merret handling himself very poorly but weird to see his teammates make public statements about how disappointed in him they are.

Easily worse situation than Trac last year.
