This whole thing is just mental.

Here's a bit of perspective.

" My kids often skylark in our pool with their mates, they wrestle and fight, often dunking each other (forcing someone's head under water, for the ignorant). their intent is not to drown each other, there is no real malice. They also often bomb each other, or anyone in the pool for that matter. It doesn't worry me, why should it, we did the same things as kids.

what does worry me, is the bombardment of adds for betting they have to endure when we watch the footy. to them it is normal, something I never had to endure when younger. It concerns me that when discussing games they talk about the prospective teams betting odds, that they are told that betting on a games makes it better.

It seems that i have a different set of principles to the AFL and Gill the Dill, they probably think i am a bad father"

Source, a conversation i had with someone today, sorry no link possible

well said Albert.

What a lot of poo this club stands for.
No wonder they're stuffn pathetic.
Worried about looking good instead of being a winning football team.
It prefers to or ogress as a corporation.

Owned by nothing more than a politically correct agenda.

They can go and get stuffed.

[Francois Jackson]

its stuffin hilarious they have banned triple m. Jack has spoken to his mrs and yep its the right thing to do.

do these guys show this type of fight when their backs are against the wall on the field. You know the place where they are paid to do a stuffin job.

every day they find new ways to become a bigger and bigger joke.

Idiots are just perpetuating a false agenda.

Tigers boycott Triple M over drown ‘joke’

Herald-Sun
22 June 2016

RICHMOND players and officials will boycott Triple M’s coverage of Saturday’s clash against Brisbane at the MCG in support of football writer Caroline Wilson.

A group of senior Tigers players approached club bosses about the move on Monday afternoon in protest to the radio station’s botched Queen’s Birthday broadcast.

Triple M will broadcast the game from noon.

Requests for pre- and post-game interviews with Richmond players and staff have been officially rejected.

Richmond forward Jack Riewoldt told Fox Footy’s AFL360: “The football club is not going to partake in anything to do with Triple M this week and it hasn’t been set - a final date yet - and so it may continue on.

“There have been discussions had at the footy club in terms of how we felt about it and how everything went down in regards to Caro, and I think the club is pretty strong in their stance.

“Our club is a real leader in supporting women’s rights and we’ve done a lot of things with (chief executive) Brendon Gale being a (Male) Champion of Change as well.

“This has come from a couple of senior players. I was sitting in the car speaking to my partner Carly about it, and the way I look at it, and the way we’ve spoken about it is, if it was her in that situation and I was the partner of her - and Caro has got a husband - how would you feel about that?

“You’ve just got to put yourself in her shoes, and it was pretty much a no-brainer for us in the end.”

A Richmond spokesman on Tuesday night confirmed the club had backed the player-driven black ban.

“I’m so proud of my football club to be able to do this and be a face of change and stand up and say you know what: ‘We don’t think this is the way to go about it, we don’t think it’s right’,” Riewoldt said.

“I’m really proud of the club and the people who have made the decision.”

Triple M stars Eddie McGuire, James Brayshaw and Danny Frawley have all apologised for a Queen’s Birthday radio segment where they joked about drowning Wilson in next year’s Big Freeze at the ‘G.

Brayshaw, the chairman of North Melbourne, will front Saturday’s Triple M coverage alongside Frawley, an All-Australian selector and St Kilda assistant coach.

McGuire is not a member of the Triple M football team but headlines the station’s weekday Hot Breakfast program.

Triple M is yet to issue an apology to Wilson for airing the botched June 13 segment.

As of 5pm Tuesday, Brayshaw, unlike McGuire and Frawley, had also failed to make contact with Wilson to apologise for his involvement.

Wow the media are giving Richmonds stance headline coverage this morning.

No doubt this whole issue will continue til our game is over. Its 4 more days.

The actual game itself is completely incidental and of low secondary importance it would seem.

The issue has become about forcing Eddie to apologise because of who he is, nothing more.
FWIW, he said the wrong thing people are allowed to dislike each other but you have to be careful how it's articulated in public - particularly when it involves groups of people who have historically been been treated poorly. Women, dark skin whatever - you can disagree all you like but that is 2016.
Eddie should've apologised or clarified what he said that day - which is what Wayne Carey apparently did. That has been lost in all of this.
Having said that, the media led by SEN and the Hun have created a story to fill papers and build hysteria which is what they do.
I'm still chuckling at Robbo frothing on SEN with Andy Maher on Monday. It was stuffing hilarious.
The Richmond ban just shows how easily people can be manipulated - this story is over, people have learnt their lesson and the media got their grovelling apology from Eddie. Move on.
If we want to know the real story, let's talk about the shift in power happening in Melbourne media with the King being dethroned this week.

What a joke

When very similar jokes were occurring on 3AW, Caro was laughing and taking part.

All this PC garbage is because it's Eddie and he's a massive name for all the femmos to gain some BS traction for their crappy agendas.

If he cracked the identical joke about a male nothing would have been said.

Equal rights my lemon and sars

Audio of a conversation between Dwayne Russell, Tony Shaw and Caroline Wilson has since emerged which aired during 3AW's Queen’s Birthday Footy broadcast.


Dwayne Russell: We’d have to sell tickets for those who want to push you, Caro, I reckon.

Caroline Wilson: That’s very funny Dwayne. Hysterical.

Tony Shaw: And hold her under Dwayne.

Caroline Wilson: Oh, boys.
