Are you suggesting that becoming an AFL player, with all the other sacrifices made to do so , really entitles the public to pry into their personal lives? On what basis? They are paid to play footy, not be part of some poxy reality show

AS it is AFL players come under so much more scrutiny than the general public, but you are saying that they are not entitled to any privacy at all?

Your justifications reek of the tripe  an editor of womans weekly or a so called current affairs show will put forward. Perhaps you are caro? 

Why do so many people feel a need to have access to other people private lives? Is it to overcome a feeling of inadequacy in their own lives? Perhaps a need to see someone else's misery so they can feel good about themselves?

As i said, that market is already covered...and if you really need a footy flavour mixed in then caro and hutchy will come to the party. That sort of piffle is about all they are really any good for.

To me the players are merely commodities to be used and discarded, like so many empty stubbies.

I pay his wages and I believe I am entitled to an explaination as to why those wages are being paid without the employment being carried out.

As I said I don't want his medical records, but it would be nice to know a more specific reason than 'personal issue'.

As to whether or not I am in fact Caro, I am a 4"2, 230kg, bald headed man with prominent nasal and ear hair. Naturally I find the comparison unfair and offensive.

I remember TBRs work from another site. He (or should I say she) is indeed Caro Wilson.......

The players are not paid by supporters.

The people that do pay the players, ie the board and their other officials, (who use membership fees and supporters' sponsorship) fully know the reasons behind any player needing to take special leave under the AFL EBA rules.

I take it that you are a taxpayer too TBR, but you are not entitled to know National Secrets or the reasons behind all Government purchases and you do not own the Government because you pay taxes.

Any employee, in any industry, that requires to take personal leave is entitled to PRIVACY.

Let's keep it that way in this current case.

Back to the topic ppl.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

some of the stuff that has been written in here has been disgraceful. 

Pot kettle big fella

HRT what have I written in this thread that you consider to be disrespectful?

Nothing in this thread but sheesh you do pay out in other threads - I love some of it but reckon you should bak off the judgements calls on others in this thread.

Just cant agree with you on this, but you get that.

As for your description of yourself, i can understand why you would find that unfair and offensive, being so much easier on the eye than caro.

Comparison is flawed. A better comparison would be a politician taking leave without giving a basic reason why. Wouldn't happen.

What about the shareholder argument though?

Ultimately we are shareholders (owners) of the club

In other publicly listed companies shareholders aren't privy to this sort of info, they cannot demand it because privacy comes into play. Why whould this scenario be any different?

I appreciate your point TBR, I do and it's obvious we'll have to agree to disagree

Enjoy the discussion though - been great and BTW welcome to OER
