there you see REAL issues
anyone who is outraged does not have a balanced view of life
it was an act in the theme of the revue - it was not real
it wasn't making a statement
it was just a bit of fun... no one forced you to watch
people need lives
End of story.
Tempted to lock this thread, just so people understand there are far more important issues in life.
Surely you two rocket scientists have worked out why it is an issue by now. It has absolutely nothing to do with people who haven't got lives. I'd hate to hear your relationship counselling..."Just get over it mate, she's gaaaawn"???
It's not an issue. The media do not decide what is an issue or not.
If you're so filthy with it ring up MTV because that Pitball clip get played everytime I'm at the gym.
And more importantly. Get a life.
So many losers on this site - if you morons are happy with the club's employees (again) perpetuating the negative image we have rightly or wrongly won this year, then you'll probably think it's a non-issue, along with all the dumb f*** bogans on Facebook. The club is a business, I'm glad they're giving the players stick over it.

The whole revue (all clubs included) is a laugh.
Maybe, maybe not...I'm sure there's plenty of women that find that sort of thing pretty demeaning, but it's not really the point. The point is the topic of the skit (which essentially infers a decent night out for the boys is hanging out in a strip club) is pretty close to the bone for a club that's been battling a poor image in this respect the last 2 years (and prior). The club finds it in poor taste, should they get a life?
If the players had done anything else, it might have been fine, but this kind of thumbing their noses at an obvious issue was always going to upset the club, and possibly sponsors, and I'm not sure how many family memberships it drags in either. That's the way the club is seeing it, that's the way I'm seeing it, doesn't make either of us Fred Nile. The players deserved a wrap on the knuckles.

I seem to recall that you really didn't like centrebet as a sponsor?
Perhaps I'm remembering wrong, but people who say this isn't worth worrying about, better get used to reputable brands keeping a fair distance.
(serious question that won't require pretend swearing)
you are right on the centrebet issue...but ffs....and it would be real swearing only for the filter......the only problem with the footy show sketch is that the press made an issue out if it because it was st kilda...they wouldn't have given a tuppenny f*** if it was some other side.....and i presume you are talking about sponsors only because of your comments...i certainly haven't read this thread.....ffs....and don't intend too....

Doesn't help too much that "StGeorge" won't exist in that guise…
Yeah the "hot potato" angle appears to be only one factor and IMO not the crucial factor.
Nonetheless it makes a far better headline than the other boring strategic reasons
Crucial factor: Asked directly if the scandals involving St Kilda over the past two years had played a role in the bank's decision, a source at the bank replied: ''yes.''

Like most media reporting there's a fair bit of licencegramsn.
Even so, an answer of "yes" to a question of "did it play a role" is hardly proof of it being a "crucial" factor.

There was a more lengthy statement from a St George rep broadcast on TV backing this up...followed by a spokesperson from the club say "Aw get a farkin' sense of humour ya prude...FFS...get a loif".
You can pretend it didn't happen, but the club knows the image we've created over the last few years (which the Footy Show skit summed up so nicely) is hurting it. For once I agree with B4E, the admin at the club should have been right on top of this, instead we are left looking stupid in damage control.
" I'd hate to hear your relationship counselling..."Just get over it mate, she's gaaaawn"!!!
That hurt.
That actually happened to me.
Set off to the blue mountains , where she took my kids , for our first (she arranged) counselling session.
A kookaburra flew into my windscreen just after i set off ... (should of known then!)
but anyway , silly gary fronted up thinking he was gunna save his marriage (i actually thought she was just having a long 'monthly' and she'd fall back into my arms.
Saw her for like 30 seconds , he took me by the arm before i walked into the centre , and delivered that immortal line.
The car drove me home.
.name the ways , thought manipulates the State of Presence away.

.... The Mr has been married before and his EX just took off one day then proceeded to bleed him dry - us women can be hard nosed bitch*s - lucky the Mr found me I'm a nice one and I hope you find your nice one...
Just how much more dumb could a group of blokes be? The Footy show was NEVER going to show us in a good light and in view of all thats gone before, I would have thought that there would have been SOMEONE at the club who would have put the blocks on any of our playing staff being involved in ANY way with that lot!!! DUMB DUMB DUMB!!!!!!

No it wasn't.
Sam fisher also undid his top. Does that make it demeaning to men. Oh thus right I forgot, as the way with this world rules for some and not for others. Sick of it.
And it wasn't a strip club for boys. The girls they were dancing with were clothed. And strip clubs don't have dance floors. If they did I be there week in week out because I don't mind a bit of d-floor action.
And StGeorge ceases to exist under that name. Sponsors also renew and move on periodically every two years or so. It's because the value of sponsorship is quite hard and difficult to measure. Also they are in NAB's shadow in the football world.
And if asked, a smart person will always take the high ground and say it was a factor. But a dumb person will eat the line up.
Oh wait. I'm the dumb person. Except I don't use Facebook. Pity.
