I just about swallowed my tongue when on Footy Classified last night they discussed the possibility of de Goey going to Geelong.
Fair dinkum if Geelong could afford de Goey then either the likes of Hawkins would have to retire at the end of 2022 or the AFL would need to investigate their player payments.

They dont have a salary cap down at sleepy hollow, the handbaggers dont believe in one, their books are well and truly cooked.

Stui, I went on a golf trip up to the Murray with a couple of Scottish lads I worked with, and staying in the resort was a netball team on an end of season trip ....stui magpie wrote:Just on Browne's "joke", I'm glad people realised that this was back in April, well before Bali and likely in Browne's mind log enough after the dust had settled.
As far as "jokes" go, it wasn't great, but if you put it in the context of the Club President sending a reminder to a group of young athletes about to go on end of season trips of what can happen if you get pissed and it ends up on Social Media, it wasn't a bad tactic IMHO.
And if you don't think young women can go off on the tear as much as young men you've never seen a hens night in full swing.
Even they were scared of the way the girls were carrying on
I don't have a snappy catch phrase

i cant find it right now, dont have time to look further, but i think someone called swoop luke posted a video of DeGoey after training signing things for kids, looking pretty relaxed, journos everywhere, he could have bolted inside but he chose to stay and face it, thats a sign of character, good on him. And yes naturally it wasnt on the news, who wants good news?
as for girls carry on too, yep they sure do, i know a couple of girls that play and the stories are legendary, so what? maybe thats why things go to hell so quickly, was i the only kid told just because some one else does something doesnt make it a good idea, or okay, if they jump of a bridge will you?
Yes the Bali thing would have been a blip but for his past record, right or wrongly, thats the truth of it. its simple, dont hang out with people who want followers on their social media pages at the expense of anything. These people are not your friends.
Do i think it was disprespectful? yes but it doesnt surprise me at all, which makes me sad. I personally believe in personal space, and that somethings are better left out of sight. I wasnt outraged by it at all, i just knew combined with his track record all hell would break loose. Was i disrespectful to Her? well im not usually a fan of name calling, so yes i was. It just truly irritates me that females carry on in a way that sells themselves short. thats how i see it, it may not be how you see it. I just know i want better for my girls than being manhandled or half naked to gain "likes".
Im glad hes back on the track, i hope he does the smart thing and gets a proper manager, not a yes man. And that he buckles down like Swan admits he did and fullfills his potential. For Collingwood, who have stuck by him since frisbee gate. They fired a warning shot over his bow this time, nothing more nothing less. Go pies.

There has been plenty of examples where he has done a lot of this and community work not mentioned in the media.stui magpie wrote:I actually saw the footage of him signing footys for kids on the 7 news. I agree, sign of character.
It is what happens when he is out in the booze that the media is all over. Maybe he may have to curb the drink a little when out in public.
Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy.

By the look of this, there was enough media there. https://twitter.com/Jen2310/status/1541668484010356737think positive wrote:cheers i was watching channel Ed! thats good to hearstui magpie wrote:I actually saw the footage of him signing footys for kids on the 7 news. I agree, sign of character.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Didn’t see him in the latest list (https://www.zerohanger.com/champion-dat ... 22191/amp/ ). Champion Data’s “elite” category is a bit of a head scratcher (Jordan Dawson, Harry Perryman) - BUT…eddiesmith wrote:So Champion Data has him as Elite, yet still some posters think we’d be better off without him…
If you are confident we won’t have Jordy splashed in the back page of the Hun for 5 days, twice a year in a negative light then I would absolutely like to keep him.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...
