Lance Collard

[skeptic]

Who’s burying Collard?

Most acknowledge he’s made a mistake… I don’t see anyone suggesting he should be done.

As far as criticism goes… he copped it worse here following his last game

[B.M]

We are not burying him (or excusing him)

But the AFL will!!!

Agreed it’s an easy target and club.

[Scollop]

This sort of stuff happens when a bloke is frustrated with his progress and his career...or things aren't right in his private life.

How much work was put it into building a relationship between St Kilda and Lance and St Kilda and the Collard family before we drafted him?

Did we know enough about Lance the person?

Have we helped to create the foundations for him to succeed as an AFL footballer?

SOS knew Carlton wanted this kid. I still think that was one of the main reasons we took him.

His punishment will be a part of his growth as an adult. I hope he uses his time away from playing to focus on his fitness and strength conditioning...and maybe a good mental health break

[D.B.Cooper]

Really long bow here, suggesting, hoping, pontificating that he may be the victim of racial slurs and that’s why he allegedly made the homophobic comments.

Until there is more information as to any provocation, and or an admission of guilt the above is speculation at very, very best.

And??? Is speculation banned on this forum. Geez I better apologise now.

Do you even know what pontificating means?

Why so salty saynta?

I don’t understand your angry rolling eyed response.

No one is burying him, it’s just Curly being Curly.m

Or maybe he’s just a player that lips off. Nothing too complicated just a player that was mouthing off at an opponent.

Happens every game every level.

Some people are smart enough to mouth off with comments that won’t earn a lengthy suspension, others need to learn this.

It sounds like the young fella f***ed up (allegedly), I hope he learns the lesson and strives to not repeat the same mistake.

Yep 19 year old Id be thinking a stern chat is about all that’s required.

I was always taught that whilst sticks and stones might break bones, words will never hurt. Seems that's not the case in this woke world. I agree with skeptic. I can only hope that the young man was reacting to racist slurs.

Agreed. Maybe that's all it is and he goes on to be a premiership player for St Kilda

Is that not ok.

[The_Dud]

I think the ‘racial slur first’ defence is an extremely long bow, as I assume those perpetrators would be reported also.

Sounds like a frustrated young footballer who fell back on bad habits. The standard has been set this year re the length of suspension if found guilty so not much to whinge about.

Hopefully he’ll learn and improve.

Just putting in context his “I don’t think homophobic/racial slurs are a big deal, they’re just words” statement.

Agreed. And even if so… 2 wrongs don’t make a right

You mean two Wong's don't make it white .....O shut up I don't care......just a joke

Or could be a gay indigenous female who just doesn’t think it’s a big deal

Best mouthing off I have heard was when Michael Voss said to his brother."My dad slept with your mother last night."

Some people need to get a life.

Because you’ve revealed as much, and the internet never forgets, Stinger.

And empathy goes a long way.

Imagine if a criminal youth who has broken into a house and called an occupant the f... word

They might get a penalty

Don't attribute words to me I didn't post. You really should get out more and start associating with real people not just maggots.

Some of these analogies are wild
