Who the HELL????

[satchmo]

So what's the problem?

The outrage!

[Dr Spaceman]

Did you see the hole in his dacks?

And even in the interview, he said he saw smoke - there was no mention of flames.

And he hung around and told them everything was cool.


I can't help but think that he didn't get burnt/lit up/set on fire at all.

Perhaps a minor smouldering at best!

To be fair I think he did mention thick smoke. Thick, black, smoldering smoke!

Either that or I'm confusing him with that 9/11 doco I was watching the other day

[Johnny Member]

Just gold.

In what business these days is ok to send an employee out in flammable clothing?
Or did the players actually request a flammable dwarf?
Warrants further investigation.

Collingwood would have written up a contract and paid this guy properly to minimize the damage…

$20 K - no A current Affair, no Footy Show interview, no womans day.

What damage?



As far as I'm aware, we're still fielding a team next year. So what's the problem?

Neither you or Rodger seem to have a grasp on public relations, sponsors, members…

Hang about, if we keep pulling s*** like this we won't be able to field a team, then you'll understand.

[Dr Spaceman]

And to think that with most victims of traumatic hate crimes it would take many, many years to be able to revisit the scene where the atrocities took place!

Others may never return.

And yet others; oh say 48 hours should suffice

[dragit]

Just gold.

When was he silent?
Been nattering away for the past 40 hours…

Apparently when the incident happened a Matchbox 20 song was on the jukebox...

Forget signing Dustin Martin! He's only small fry compared to Blake 'Medium-Rare' Johnston... Milney has retired so we need a new goal sneak who can torch the opposition...his opportunities might be minuscule, but in the short run, he's capable of lighting up Etihad.

Not really a Milney replacement as he fires up mainly in the back pocket

What absolute, deadset, complete and utter nonsense.



We've seen players from other clubs busted by the cops for possessing, and selling drugs. We've seen a club go through the worst scandal in the sports history. We've seen clubs get busted tanking. We've clubs busted draft tampering. We've seen clubs cheating the salary cap. We've seen players accused of rape. Players beating up cabbies. Players getting in drunken fights. Players assaulting women. Players busted for domestic violence. Players losing their license for speeding and drink driving. Players vomiting off balconies.

I could go on, and on and on.


Firstly, compare that stuff with our 'scandals' and we're pretty bloody clean.


Secondly, how many of the above situations have resulted in any club going bust?



It is the biggest con of all time this 'off-field' scandal stuff. No one cares. People won't even care about Essendon's dramas this time next year (unless of course players get suspended).

Saints supporters fretting about this type of stuff is crazy. It matters zilch. The only time it matters, is if individuals actually give a stuff about the personal lives of these guys enough to somehow link it to the club they support - and crack the sads and stop going to the footy.

Even then, I bet they still watch it. And if they're watching, we get paid and we keep fielding a team.


If anyone seriously even remotely thinks that we would go under due to this sort of off-field garbage, they're frankly too emotional and shouldn't partake in following AFL footy. Or any sport for that matter.

Mr Serevetas described his shock after he saw his mate engulfed in flames.

"I saw his shirt go up. I was taken aback ... I think I was shocked," Mr Serevetas said.



Engulfed in flames!! Fair dinkum!

I didn't say this one is a big scandal…

But you seem to have no concept of brand…

I guess you must think that football clubs spend millions on PR and marketing cause they can't think of anything else to spend it all on?

Scandals effect brand/image, which effects revenue… If it doesn't make any difference why did we de-list Lovett/Gram while still paying their salaries for no football?

[stevie]

Ok, one more and that's it!!

'You know that it could be untrue
You know that I am not a liar
But Lenny leaned across to Roo
Said, Jonesy's set the dwarf on fire...'

Funniest football moment of this decade. Up there with the Plugger and Eddie crutch incident, and about as serious. It's almost unbelievable how some people are behaving. Clint should be publicly executed. That might keep cross dressers like Gerard Whateley happy.

Some one should set Gerard alight and get dwarves to piss on him

I had a hate crime perpetrated on me by that hideous little c$#@ Arthur. Just because I am hansom tall and athletically gifted he victimised me and assaulted me. I want my interview now.

"Engulfed in flames"



Oh the humanity

[Dr Spaceman]

Billowing smoke clouds!

So presumably the sprinklers at Bell's Hotel went off during this dioramic reproduction of the Towering Inferno.

Did A Current Affair check this out?

[samuraisaint]

biggest scandal since Jacko dropped lit ciggies in Lindsay Fox's mates pockets at Pleasant Sunday Morning at the club in 80s.

[samoht]

Stupid uncalled for prank that may happen once a year - but as we all know, every day is a media mad Monday.
