Daisy in strife

[Thryleon]

Actually I agree with you LP.

I think it's a problem that we are working through but we dont have impeccable history with dealing with these issues.

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 done the concerned mother of the victim?

FWIW, Mr Chopsticks

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!

We're driving high standards while Richmond are winning premierships and breaking membership records.

If I remember correctly, the Chopsticks Affair took place in the off season. 

Many players from other clubs have been exposed in the media for drinking in public; Tex Walker having a beer during a game while out injured springs to mind and Steven May was sprung earlier this season.  Hawthorn’s failure to suspend Luke Hodge was widely criticised and his subsequent suspension for missing training was interpreted as making up for the lenient penalty.

I think that Daisy’s misdemeanour is magnified by our win-loss record rather than any media bias.

I think they go after us because they know our club will be bullied into a reaction!

I'm sure someone like Balme, Malthouse, Sheedy, Clarkson, Riciutto, Roos, Colless, Pridham, etc., etc., would react differently. It's certainly not a chicken and egg situation, they haven't just become vocal after success, they have always been that way! They see defending their players and club as a key to success, not a byproduct of it!

Win games and Daisy could have his way with goat whilst swilling a bottle of Grange in the middle of Burke St and no one would care.

Dangerfield would!

Dangerfield would!

Dangerfield could set fire to Greater Geelong and be awarded a clean up Australia Medal.

Nah, but a Curnow might get the blame!

On another note, what's the general feeling about Thomas being dropped this week? We can't really afford to be dropping senior blokes but I'm happy with the club decision....he's been around long enough to realise he stuffed up and will cop it on the chin.

The forum is divided. Some think it's an appropriate sanction, some think it's OTT. Certainly doesn't help our chances on the weekend.
