That's twice you have taken a potshot at Paris. Ok so the place is a little overrun with muslims and unemployed teenagers, big deal. In ten years it will have sorted itself out.
I think if we send the team over to Paris for a couple of weeks they will set a good example and teach the Parisians how to behave. Most of the players conduct themselves very well and are ideal role models for the rest of us.
Plus, they will have to learn French, the Parisians do not like English speakers. So that's a big +1 for the boy's culture. |

This is sounding more idiotic by the minute.

It would be just as good as sending them to Arizona. They could abseil off the Eiffel Towel (but they should check to make sure there are no bombs on the thing first  ) |

(I assume its a missus) BUT I was horrified to read that this wedding was to be held in Bali. Bali is a place where bogans go for their holidays. It is far enough from Australia to be properly overseas and 'culcha' yet not so far that they have to learn a new language or eat ethnic food. It is also full of other Australian bogans soaking up the 'culcha' so they feel right at home. Just like taking a day trip out to the Fountaingate shopping centre!!
With the money that AFL players earn there is no reason why O'Bree couldn't have had his wedding somewhere nice, like Paris, London or Rome. To my mind there is no place in the world better than Paris, the city of love and French restaurants, to get married in. If I had the money that is where I would go to get married.
So it is a little disconcerting to read that given the choice between Paris and Denpassar or whatever the Bali capital is, Shane O'Bree chose Denpassar. I love the guy, I enjoyed his football, but by god his taste leaves a little to be desired.
I think the same can be said of footballers in general. Did you catch that picture of Daisy in a fake fur coat and Wellingham in what appeared to be a tutu?
Footballers are impressionable young boys that are given wads of cash to play ball games. The clubs do a terrific job developing these boys into men, making them leaders, teaching them all the right attitudes and behaviours that will see them through life, and, to protect their own image, the clubs try to educate on the dangers of drugs, alcohol and women. But what the clubs fail to do is expose these men to the finer things in life. They have the money and the opportunity to enjoy fine food, music, art, or whatever, but without guidance they will never experience these things, and they will forever be choosing Bali over Paris.
I would suggest to the Collingwood Football Club that they take a hundred thousand dollars out of their profits this year and employ somebody to take these boys out to field trips to the opera, museums and so on, to broaden their horizons a little bit and show them some of the wonders of life outside of the football field. I believe that after a few years, the anti drugs / alcohol / women education programs will be made redundant.
Would somebody please give me Eddie's phone number - this cannot wait until the AGM. |
LOL at this! I'd be happy to 'educate' the boys - I'm an MSO subscriber and NGV member!   |

I personally don't get the Bali thing. Wouldn't go there if you paid me.
