Herald Sun picking on someone else

Another AFL Club gets the moral outrage blowtorch -

Sad to see it happen to another Club, but at least it gets the vultures off
our carcass for a while. Cue Hinch blowing up like a puffer fish, Mitchell blowing a fuse, Caro hand-wringing, Herald Sun sales up.

Stupid drunken buffoons.

Goes to show when you watch these things for what they really are, it's a case of much ado about nothing, where the headline 'disgrace' doesn't fit the crime.

talk about a slow news days.. its nothing, its normal boyish a little drunken behavior.

WOW !! Hang on Footy players are human after all !!!!!

Shees, it would be nice if another club could take the spotlight, but this is not it unfortunately

Don't worry guys I just got a call from an inside source at the club and they have assured me that the boys are aware of another club being in the spotlight and they are already hard at work trying to out do them.

Imagine if it was us... We'd be hung and shot for these kind of antics!

Another club, so it's all fine, boys having fun apparently.

St Kilda's 'poor off-field culture' showing through again!

True unfortunately MM.

Sadly these drunken hijinks can be traced back to the Bulldogs importation of John Bennett, Con Gorozides and Mark Kellett a few decades ago

Why would you upload it onto youtube?

Don't these guys understand privacy settings?

Have to admit, I was quiet happy to see another club having not so perfect behaviour. I now view these incidents quite differently to what I use to. I think everyone needs to stop expecting AFL players to be angels, and accept its ok to let off a bit of steam in the off season. As long as no one is hurt and the law is not broken, whats the big deal.

All I can say is why couldn't this be Collingwood?

A mate was at Crown friday night,and four hawks were on a table next to them upstairs. The word described was "off there absolute dial". Wouldn't think they'd be so stupid to do it public,especially when one of them is one of the biggest names in footy

Not the paper or radio I heard. Is this again we get picked on stuff.

WB copped plenty on SEN today and were page 3 in the paper for something that happened 3 month ago. Dont see any sign about them having fun and who cares.

WB's stuff, like much our stuff, simply shouldn't be on air.

That said, Hawkins 'boys will be boys' defence was trotted out pretty quick.

Wonder if anyone in the media thought ask, say, Stewie Loewe his views on privacy breaches round about KD time or, say, Danny Frawley about his views on prescription drugs and their place in sport at the time of Zac's et al's indiscretion?

I think the reason was simple. Hawkins was on the most famous footy trip ever. Not sure those other guys have any relevence to any of those issues.

St Kilda's fault. Isn't Cooney Gardy's brother in-law? Saint's have corrupted them.

it actually makes me jealous of the bulldogs. i wish our guys were exposed for being mad ragers, instead of being exposed in a far more embarrassing sense of the word.

no more likely the media would ask Grant Thomas for his views
