Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2025

[Andyy]

He was a 20yo kid being egged on by mates

Never heard of peer pressure?

You don’t know anything about the bloke Andyy.
Like I said , he might be all you’ve described and more.
Might also be a good kid that did something silly.

You are indicating he’s a poo bloke without knowing what he’s like at all

Average IMO

I do know at least one thing about the bloke - under alleged peer pressure he will makes jokes about women who have been raped, which he's done in the last 12 months.

Maybe he'll grow up and be a more decent and assertive person because of it, if he hasn't already. We don't know.

Predominantly I'm saying I wouldn't take the chance at our club, personally. If he's a good bloke, or he's grown up, or has sufficient talent - he may not have been delisted by GWS?


You are making excuses for jokes about rape, which I submit to you also has an 'average' look to it IMO.

Air shagging a blow up doll ffs

Every chance he didn’t know it was anything to do with rape .. just a dumb kid

There are others involved that did far worse IMO .. like dressing up as Jarrod Hayne as a starting point

As a side note , I’m not saying yes or no to picking him up .. all I’m suggesting is it should be decided on footballing ability , not on what he did with a blow up stuffing doll

And I’ll add, comparing him and the Elijah Hollands situation , give me a spell

Just going to agree to disagree and end the discussion there Damo.

Glad we kept it civil

Just so we are clear on Fahey's involvement

Fahey was the one dressed as Jarrad Hayne. The one with the blow up doll and he did a "skit" with the blow up doll.

Please don't suggest he didn’t know the circumstances around Hayne. It was Front page news

He copped the harshest penalty because his action's were as I've said many times disgusting. Making jokes about a women being raped is not ok. It is simply wrong.
