AFL fed up with RFC Players
« on: August 06, 2020, 11:34:29 AM »
 Theres a report on google that says the AFL is fed up with our players sense of entitlement.

Seems our players want the AFL to pay for their shopping at supermarkets, other players from our club asked the AFL to send in carpenters so they can redo the apartments they are living in and basically our players are making stupid demands.

I must say at a time when hundreds of thousands of people have lost jobs, businesses are closing down and families are struggling to deed themstlves this type of behaviour is unacceptable and disgraceful.

I love what our players have achieved but they are not entitled to behave like morons. Brendon Gale and co. Need to put a stop to this rubbish. We are a working class club and our history is of a working class club, players coming across as spoilt brats and being entitled is a shocking look. As a long time member I condemn this behaviour. Its completely unacceptable.

Id provide the link but my phone isnt doing it so maybe someone can provide the link.

Fox has it up - report by Tom Morris and Ben Waterworth

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2020-player-requests-in-hubs-league-fed-up-infuriated-richmond-demands/news-story/67207f45e5271d63e3ed2c7014202450

Regardless of whether there is any element of truth to this story or not I would hesitate to go for another round of bash our own players.  Selective reporting is rather fascinating and never completely factual.  Our club appears to have been targeted by certain areas of the media lately.  Interesting to ponder why!  Chinese whispers can magnify a molehill into a mountain with barely a blink of an eye and as it's getting close to audit time for memberships is this an attempt to prevent a third straight year of 100,000 members?

Maybe if the AFL had of kept their promise and not ended up making us stay in temporary accomodation we wouldn't have a reason to complain.

The AFL gave our accomodation away to Carlton and the stuffen umpires - no one to blame but themselves.

Sam McClure didn't name names at least.  It took that grub Morris to identify our club.

This article from the "other" Tom is far more balanced.

closer to the truth than the edited for clicks story line

Screw us at their own peril. When Benny is running the joint soon I’m sure he’ll remember who deliberately made things harder for us.
