I don't think anyone doubts De Goey's talent. People take differing views of how tolerant we should be of his "indiscretions".
He has played 2 senior games since he last stuffed up off field. Let's just wait and see how his attitude plays out. At the moment, he's well short of being an "out and out star of the competition", although he certainly has the talent to be one. The question is whether the talent will be realised. |

Very well said.
For gods sake don’t jinx it, as far as I know he still has his dog.
Why why why does this get dragged up? Maybe, just maybe, getting smacked so hard straightened his attitude? FWIW I didn’t want him sacked, that would be dumb, but I had no qualms with how it was handled. It’s done. Let it go. Enjoy the good times, because god knows they have been few and far between lately.
As I said at quarter time, “I’d forgotten how stressful footy is when you have hope!”
Just $£$%^%%$ enjoy it and lose the I told you so’s, all it does is stir the pot here. As far as I know we don’t hand out prizes. Let it go. For DeGoeys sake as much as anything. It’s done.

I don't have any frustrations. I think you might be too judgmental. Maybe people in Australia got a little sick of that. Probably better to be in a country where your tiny bit of money talks so you don't have to. Feels to me like you need to relax a little pal. sad. |
I am perfectly relaxed. I just don't feel the need to label everyone which appears you do. Stop watching Channel 9 and and you might learn a bit about the world or even better visit it.

Too funny. You claim you don't label everyone and then you label me as someone who hasn't traveled (which itself is laughable).... Hard for old people to become worldly, no matter how much time they spend in Thai brothels.....

What other clubs do with their drink-drivers (and their presidency and CEOship, and their pokies) is their own business...
For the record, Hodge record 0.068, which is much lower than 0.095.
And his "punishment" was a victory for expediency over principles. They simply could not face losing his football skills for that final. |
RonRat and K. Take note. |
E, how does quoting a discussion about Hodge's non-suspension by the Hawks have anything to do with your claims?
The majority of discussion in this thread centred on whether our club was justified in handing out its penalties (which had nothing to do with delisting, and, as some tried to point out in vain, did not necessarily mean missing any games). |

This quoted comment chain has nothing to do with delisting either. It doesn't say anything about penalties or list management. The whole chain merely mentions and gives a video link to the broken promise JDG made when he was drafted. |

Of the first 14 posts in the GB Medal thread, 11 got his name wrong. 11.
It's de Goey.
Well, I did check the CFC website. Turns out they were wrong.

If you read his player bio, it says "De Goey" apart from the title which says "de Goey". I understand it's a Dutch surname, so it's likely spelt as 'de Goey' which isn't uncommon.
However, why does it matter how people spell it if we can already understand what everyone means when the name is mentioned.

The AFL site also used De Goey in their summary of the match, so I understand the confusion.

Happy to be corrected.
I emailed the Club. Will post their reply.
Jezza, It matters to Jordan. Respect.

From p.3-4 of http://magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=83772

Since “Goey” is not a Dutch word, I suppose Jordan’s name is an Anglicized version of de Goeie, which would translate as “Jordan the good”. Which seems a little ironic..... |
| K wrote: | ...
Just wait till we recruit Jordan de Slechte.
Part of JDG's penalty/homework should also be to learn and use the correct Dutch pronunciation of the "G" in his name.
...
This also belatedly reminded me that Dutch names can also begin with an apostrophe. e.g. ’t Hooft, ’t Hart, ...
"The prefix ’t is pronounced as ‘ut’ and stands for ‘het’. Het Hoofd (in modern spelling) is literally translated as: ‘the head’." |
I'm not sure the club (whose own website is inconsistent) can be relied upon for accuracy in such matters. Given that it seems the name has become Anglicized*, we'd want to define what we mean by "correct", since it's arguably already "incorrect" from the Dutch perspective. (And, likewise, I'd guess only his grandparents pronounce it "correctly".) Perhaps you could argue that there are guidelines for acceptable and unacceptable incorrectness, though.
I'd say maybe "correct" is whatever it says in his passport. We know he must have one, because he and the boys partied in Ibiza. It's possible, of course, that Oz passports capitalize every letter: "DE GOEY". That would be decidedly unhelpful. It's also possible his gorgeous dog has eaten his passport.
* Another example: The "mooy" in Aaron Mooy is really "mooij", which means "beautiful".
Similarly, there seem to be a lot of people named de Goeij, so maybe that's the most common Dutch form. |
