I am amazed. This is the biggest ever to happen in footy. It may be end of a club or two.

Not before time too.

Could actually bring down the entire AFL.

It's huge.

I want to know what YOU are doing about it Plugger66.

There is one thing with rumours lately in footy is what someone states is a rumour usually is close to being fact sad but true. If this rumour is fact I am sure in the next few days, as it is being spread across many footy forums that it will be printed. There will be some journalists out there doing their best to have it confirmed before they release it.

The ramifications for the club and it's players involved will be huge as will it be for the governing body who will lose out heavily.

Too damaging not to be squashed??????

iwantmeseats · Fri 21 Jan 2011 2:49pm

could a club be as bold to throw BIG money at this to go away? Once your guilty, you may as well throw everything at crisis management. Wouldnt wash would it in this day and age? I wouldnt think so.

I just want to know how the journalists are going to bring St Kilda into the inevitable front page story.

"Former St Kilda coach Grant Thomas's main AFL foe, Andrew Demetriou, has resigned today from the AFL due to the cover up of the rumour of the century.

In what has been dubbed 'Woodgate', St Kilda coach Ross Lyon refused to comment on the sensational claims.

Former St Kilda girl of the minute, Dim Sim, tweeted her comments. "dis iz funny. I am laffing. doh. der. doh."

Can anyone confirm if there is more than ONE source I wonder? Then, it will maybe have some legs.

Been out of the loop too long a PM would be much appreciated.

If true, and must emphasise if, it can't be squashed.

As damaging as it would be to the AFL, that is nothing compared to the damage it would create if it came out later (which it would) that there was the initial issue plus a cover up.

If it's true too many people would already know. The AFL would have no option other than to deal with it now in order to minimise the damage (a la NRL with Storm)

I just don't buy it, one player maybe would be dumb enough to do it, but multiple?

There is no way you could hush up something like this for so long, just not possible.

ONE player would be all it takes. No better or worse than 6. It would still blow the AFL doors wide open. One or six. irrelevant.

Sure, but the rumour is about multiple players....not one, which just makes me super sceptical.

Thanks to those who sent me a pm, very big if true. Hope it is!!!

Maybe they just believe their own "untouchability"

If the rumour is true it would seem the club involved may have believed if the kept it below a certain level it wouldn't be a problem. Had it been one player that might have been true but multiple from the same club raises a lot of suspicion even if it was below a level that would ordinarily not be seen as a problem.

"Saints Nude-Pic Girl Seeks Apology Over Poor Education"
Herald Sun
22nd January, 2011

After taking over the Chk-Chk-Boom chick as the No. 1 bogan female media sensation, and laughing stock of the nation, the girl at the centre of the St Kilda nude photo scandal has hit out at the Saints again, this time holding them responsible for her lack of spelling skills

"OMG - I was like, "diz is funny" and that, and some peoplez starting making fun of me. How can these people live with themselves, using the internet as a tool to embarass people like that. It's like, whatever, I don't care, I'm totally independant, I dont need no help from anyone.....sniff sniff"

Womens groups were outraged. Burnie Brarz, for Womens Rights Australia, went on record with "how can the football club, the AFL, and the community in general, leave this poor, sweet, innocent girl behind. Everyone is responsible for this poor young woman's lack of spelling skills, well, everyone except for her, of course."

St Kilda Football Club were unavailable for comment, they were getting on with their lives.
