Nobody is telling me what warrants this, was Daisy wielding a dangerous pair of chopsticks?
Did Warnock feel threatened?
Did our club strong-arm the accuser so they withdrew their complaints?
Did we hunt down the concerned mother of the victim?
FWIW, Mr Chopsticks
Quote:Martin ultimately received no criminal or league imposed sanction for the alleged incident but did receive a club-imposed $5,000 fine for being drunk and acting inappropriately in public. The club chose to suspend the fine considering the massive reputational damage the ultimately unfounded incident had inflicted upon him.
It seems to me the disparity in the way some players and clubs get treated in the media just washes right over many fans like a passing fart! Until our club gets serious about addressing these apparent disparities our players will continue to feel like imposters in the AFL system, and that goes a long way to explaining their performance, lack of development and lack of heart!
