Oh dear poor CJ has made the list.

North and Collingwood feature well, and yet their "culture" is not in question

Make of it of you want. Particularly love the saints emblem next to Lovett.

Im not sure they couldnt put it there. Yes he didnt play a game for us but he was on our list and even out with our players on the night it all happened.

Well, the graphic isn't exactly accurate on that front. Jones has a Hawks flag next to his name - for no apparent reason - but Bock is missing a Crows flag, Scotland a Collingwood flag, Andy Krakouer a Richmond flag, Carey a Crows flag, Caddy a Suns flag, Ablett Sr a Hawks flag, Renouf a Hawks flag. And Cresswell could have Swans, Cats and Lions flags. No particular bias but it's a pretty shoddy piece of work.

THere has been nothing but the talk of COllingwood's culture over the last 3 days

Only one of the two incidents they described. So it would have been perfectly valid to put the Essendon symbol next to him. It also would have been correct to describe him as a 88 game Essendon player.

Including Jones with that lot is typical goldfish mentality. "Oohh who is bad let me think, I struggle with memory of more than a week so I'll go with Jones".

Once again we avoid mention of Collingwood players coercing a young woman into group sex , prompting her to complain to police about her treatment. Ooooh but CJ lit a dwarf.

He didn't represent the club at all.

Didn't even finish a pre-season, let alone don the guernsey.

This clearly puts into perspective two things:

1) How much of an overreaction there was to the dwarf burning incident.

2) How much of a beat up the 'St Kilda has a terrible culture' thing is.

Steve Lawrence pranged his car when pissed - got the sack.
Capuano doing silly things when pissed - got the sack.
Andrew Lovett being Andrew Lovett - got the sack.


Dare I say, we have the hardest line approach to this stuff than any other club in the AFL.

The Smedts and Caddy thing could have had the pair shot and could have endangered lives but was made less of a story because it didn't have the Jerry Springer style bizarreness.

Because they were winning.

If you're losing, and do the exact same thing - you get caned and it's suddenly a big problem.

But winning wouldn't have mattered had the incorrect house they were attempting to break into been the home of a Dwarf.

No doubt they thought about including David Armitage and Sam Gilbert, but when they tried to quantify what was "bad" about them they found..........

The problem with saying St Kilda player Andrew Lovett in this context is that the incident where he was charged with rape was while he was a St Kilda listed player.
However, he was completely exonerated of that in a court of law therefore to use it as evidence that he was a bad egg is deliberately dishonest and borderline slanderous.

We sacked him before he'd played a game for us, so presumably we thought he was a bad boy.

How the heck didn't Rooey make the team for flopping the chop, and Dal for that matter also?

Because being naked in the privacy of your hotel room, isn't bad.

you could add Gram to that list as well ....


being in WA its a bit of a Dockers bubble at the moment but was there any where near as much fuss over brissys Daniel Rich'srun in with the bloke in the wheelchair as there was over CJ lighting up a little person ??
