He commented on someone’s clothes and they took offence. Pretty piss weak I think.

So the person normally wears casual clothing, gets dressed up for one event, someone comments about that and then FIVE years later the person makes a complaint.

It may have been intended as a compliment too. Why soes it take so long for a complaint. 5 years. Really? If it was about clothing and its taken 5 years for the complaint to come forward i question the true motive. If the person was truly offended at the time, make the complaint at the time. #metoo influences there i think.

But you weren't there
But you weren't there Randall and don't know what was said, you are just speculating. I hope you are not one of these people who groans when sexual harrassment cases come out years later because the people involved at the time were too scared to speak out. Most of those ratbags are now serving jail time and still have the audacity to deny, fucking shameful C%%$TS. look at Lyon you have to admit he's an intimidating figure, she was probably shitting herself. None of us know what happened because it's been hushed up.

I wasnt and neither was
I wasnt and neither was anyone else except the two of them and perhaps other club staff overheard it. So evveryone is speculating. Its been reported as inappropriate, which can be a lot more things than just sexual. Perhaps it was on religious grounds? Perhaps it was feedback that some people, both male and female, should receive from time to time. The fact that it offended the person could have been for a number of reasons. You're right, it is purely speculative. Its also been overseen by the AFL and their Integrity Unit so it is more likely than not to have been dealt with appropriately and to the satisfaction of the offended person.

Maybe the club will grow some
Maybe the club will grow some balls now and explain the situation to its members and supporters instead of hiding.
And on a side note what a fucking joke the GLENDINNING medal was as it was clear the dockers set the rules to have a medal presented to each team best on ground or no medal at all. After being in the afl for so long isn't it about time they grew up and managed situations more proffesionally, might even get a bit more respect paid if they did.

Managed to score a ticket
Managed to score a ticket from a work colleague. Was my first derby. Good to be witness two records though was a shame to see a few thousand empty seats for such an event.
As an eagles supporter sitting with the Dockers squad off the right hand point post at the Dockers end, I haven't got hearing back just yet but my voice is worse.
Umpiring was appalling in favour of WC though the team with the most tackles generally gives away the most frees. So many holding the ball calls too.
Couldn't help but laugh at how many purple people were walking out with 5m to go!

Legal but a mind altering
Legal but a mind altering substance, nothing to do with peformance enhancing. Same story with Bomber, look I don't agree at all with what he's done and if found guilty throw the book at him. I've seen the effects of hard drugs on family members. But you can't draw a correlation to him being a sports drug cheat when that's just not the case (well nothing proven ...yet) . If he's a junky then fuck him off.

could not get past it and its gone downhill from there, no suggestion at this stage anywhere he ver took drugs as a player or coach
i highly doubt anyone has an issue with him being charged etc ,if he broke the law, then he deserves the penalty etc just sad to see aperson go down that road in life that will end so badly , but that is humans , we are all different and subject to our own drivers
