Vlas posted a number of very inappropriate messages he received on Instagram too. We really have become a disgusting and unaccountable society.

Has anyone seen that episode in that show Black mirror? The episode with Bryce Dallas Howard?

It’s not out of question that society gets to this absurd level in regards to social media.

That’s why I don’t have any (except this forum ;))

What amazes me is the Grimes push was clearly there and is a free kick all day. Vlas got a late arm to the neck, but he didn’t pay the free kick, the umpire determined it was late and high.

The media attack on Lynch is unacceptable, the club should freeze out any reporter / agency involved.

If you are a public servant and received death threats in the workplace, criminal charges would be pursued.

People have lost the plot. People forget its just a game. More important things happening in the world.

i hope you die
i hope your kids turn out gay to folau
i hope you suicide

thats what i have seen on twitter and instragram not that i have either. Ramps are they only calling this out now or is just essendon supporters mainly.

Cant recall freo supporters doing it against the blues last week.

I have always said essendon supporters are the worse in the afl bar none

Nah I reckon its across the board. I got hammered by Essedon people on facebook for saying it was a 50. It was a 50. 100% a fifty. Grimes to a mark then bellchambers came in an ran his arm hand around grimes neck and face. No need to touch to his face. A clear 50.

The reactions are disgusting

I’m saying that , he’s been a diver his entire career

Which is strange considering there wouldn’t be a more courageous player or better bloke in the AFL

The media are being extremely kind only picking out 3 of his diving incidents

I didn’t like it.

I wouldn’t like it when opposition players have done it and I’m not going to pretend he didn’t accentuate the push, it’s a form of cheating.

How many times in the past has Puopulo, flopped in the goalsquare and been given a free hit?
Joel Selwood at his knee buckling best?
Matthew Lloyd Was under question during his career.

Grimes has some history with staging and luckily he has stopped his head ducking ways from early in his career.
As one of preeminent defenders in the game he doesn’t need to do these acts but only let his footy prowess and skill win him the contests.
I hope I never see him do it again.

The discussion was Essendon supporters online abuse of Grimes and Vlaustin. Ward previously. Grimes has staged once in almost 200 games. I don’t call that a history. Thanks for taking the focus off the real point!

So Hawkins just flopped and received a free resulting in a goal. Commentary noted it was a soft free...
So- will Hawkins be fined for diving forward? I think not!
It's all about the media on the day and what they focus on :banghead Pathetic!

They have done this in the past. So have club's when they been able to track down members (if they are members of course)

Will be interesting to see if the Bumblings have the courage to out their members who continually do this

the history I was referring to was the ducking for head high contact. He doesn’t do it anymore.
I don’t like the abuse players receive either as it’s unnecessary, as are social media platforms (not OER  ;)) I don’t participate in any except this one.

I still didn’t like the dive as much as I didn’t like when Gryan Miers flopped when Houli ran passed him.
I thought the boos at Miers were warranted the whole game after that incident.
