#2 Jordan De Goey

[Skids]

Couldn't be suspended for that... surely?

Take his phone off him and make him write 'I won't use my phone whilst driving' 100 times on a white board... fmd, how does this shit make the news!?

Bucks5, that sounds like the appropriate punishment to me. Fingers crossed the Club doesn’t make an example of him.

Skids, my thoughts exactly. How does this info get to Damien Barrett/other journos, seriously?!

[Hm]

4 demerit points and $484 fine, dangerous thing and too many are doing it. Pay the fine and everyone moves on. I don't understand why anyone thinks AFL players have to pay a double penalty? If we do the same thing do we then have to go to our boss and get fined and suspended by them as well?

[Achilles]

Can’t penalise him for that!

A quick and dirty reminder of how the club reacted last time .

The road toll in Vic this year is this way higher than at same time last year and it's been attributed to more people texting etc while driving. I've also heard some road traffic safety spokespeople saying research is showing that use of phones while driving is more dangerous than driving pissed.

So don't expect the club, or the law, to go easy on him. Particularly after his DUI conviction, when he was put on notice to improve off-field behavior, and after the story Goldsack wrote for the Sunday Herald-Sun a few weeks ago about De Goey. It was headlined: "I've Learned From my Mistakes". Includes some gems of quotes from JD, such as: "It's not the end of the world when things go wrong in your life", and how he's only ever learned by stuffing up. Here's a link to it via Goldsack's Twitter page: https://twitter.com/TLGold6 (look now before Goldie takes it down in embarrassment).

In the past we’ve had to punish players for speeding because we were sponsored by the TAC, but as I do t think we are anymore then what’s the problem?

A mobile phone offence is a simple traffic offence, he’ll cop the points and fine and we should move on. If the club punishes him then they’ll just show why this club will never succeed. Did Buddy get punished when he crashed into a heap of parked cars?

I see that ad on TV with the bearded ranga saying that a quick glance at your phone while driving is like driving for 5-6 seconds with hands over your eyes, and I want to throw something at the TV.

If that's true, young people these days must be incredibly stupid. Back in the day, to change the radio station in the car you had to look down at the radio and turn the dial till you got the right one, or put in/take out a cassette tape. You learned how to switch your eyes quickly between the road and other things.

Give him a slap over the wrist, release a statement saying sorry, it was dumb, it's dangerous and people shouldn't do it blah blah and move on.

[think positive]

seriously, he gets paid a $£$%^%%$ fortune, he doesnt have bluetooth???

**** football players are dumb dumb dumb

and it is true Stui, google last text, many phones have been found with a text sent at the time of death, not to mention get in an argument with the better half and your distracted.

that said why do the afl have to announce this on instagram??? what are we covering up for them this week??

[Piesnchess]

This is a matter for the LAW NOT THE BLOODY CLUB, let the law deal with him, fine him heavy, suspend licence, but that's it. Getting a bit over these witchhunts re our guys, give it a rest, hey.

[Raw Hammer]

If the club even remotely addresses this in the media or ‘makes a statement’ I will write to them directly and cancel my membership effective immediately.

Boy oh boy...

[What'sinaname]

I swear, if the club suspends JDG, then the whole footy department needs to be sacked.
