Alleged incident at hotel on Sunday night

[UUaswan]

You not making comments on players, coaches and the match committee AFTER the ban is immaterial. You were trashing them when we were winning games and second on the ladder! The match committee was wrong but you were right?

And, yes, other people have commented negatively about some of our players. But those posters then admitted it when they were shown to be wrong.

But great to read your positive comment about yesterday's momentous win! (Wrong thread, though!)

2nd on the ladder, 1st on the ladder, smashed in 2 GFs

My comments have been about the big dance and changes we have needed to make, in my opinion.

Qualifying for finals has never been our issue.

Match committee have previously finished top 2 and got smashed in 2 GFs, comments are about winning it all, not qualifying

I defended the 5 players and said the board overreacted

Everyone piled on the culture being shattered, bloods being dead, even Bolton called for a review and described it the worst he has seen it.

Here we are 3 weeks later, greatest time to be a blood for some in 80 yrs, greatest captain, amazing coaching team etc etc.... 3 weeks ago all that was in question and a culture was dead, which would mean coach, captain and club have questions to answer

All I did was calm the hysteria and say it was an overreaction.

It clearly was an overreaction to throw out a culture etc etc when 3 weeks later this is the most satisfied some of the fan base has ever been

The hypocrisy in bagging a clubs culture while lawding their captain, coach and players in a mere 3 weeks is off the charts.

I standby the suspension being an overreaction and I stay on an even keel with regards to the conduct of the players and the culture of the whole club

FYI, stop telling me its not the 70s, way before me

Very comedic post....there were only two getting hysterical and you and crackedactor know it.....mcs was right with his reply. Move on and just enjoy the win like the rest of us.

Correction, only 2 going against the hysteria and not throwing 5 young men under a bus after 1 alleged foolish evening

Stating what "I" have said

BS on trashing anyone, other than having an opinion like everyone esle, the wolves are out on this one

I will continue to back 5 men having their lives ruined over an evening of unknown conduct after multiple years of exemplary service.

"I" won't apologise for that, no one has the right to be judge, jury and executioner on someone's life over a single night of conduct

While you're being judge, jury and executioner of the club board over their reaction to what we know is deplorable behaviour (outside of the SA allegations) that is unbecoming of and unwanted by our proud club or MOST of it's loyal fans?

But hey, don't let this truth get in the way of your toxic attitude and rice paper thin defence of it.

Hey mate, I never expected you to admit you were wrong. Read above. I think we all understand your personality presented ad nauseum on these threads wouldn't allow for any sort of back down or admission.

I don't think anyone is holding their breath.

I've literally stated it was an overreaction.

Like the Chairman saying the season is torpedoed, everyone in the AFL saying the Bloods culture is dead, even Jude... I said it was an overreaction

Here we are 3 weeks later, Bloods culture is apparently alive and well, most selfless captain ever who enforces the culture, ive literally been proven correct, the commentary and hysteria from 3 weeks ago was an Overreaction

We finished the season second on the ladder and are now in a Preliminary Final. At the end of the home and away season, there's only one team that wouldn't have swapped positions with us. The way things stand at the moment, there are two teams in the box seat and we're one of them.

You have whinged all year, even after wins, and even after yesterday's glorious victory, you've found negatives and wanted to argue with other posters who were ecstatic about what the club has achieved.

I somehow get the feeling that you'll be wanting us to lose the next game so that you can be seen to be right.

I seriously give up.....there is no hope.

I don't believe anyone here said the Bloods culture was dead.....nor did the board, who just reacted correctly to un-Bloods behaviour. There's was NOT an overreaction.

Nor did anyone (besides you and CA) get hysterical, they were just rightfully and intensely disappointed by 5 payers whose behaviour may have jeopardised out tilt at a flag and also allowed the footy world to openly question our clubs 'culture'.

I also believe everyone here, you included, hoped that indeed the clubs 'culture' would shine through in hard times and we could still perform when it counted.

So no one who disagreed with you is being hypocritical....so stop trying to imply we are to justify your, yes hysterical and intensely negative views.

Bloods culture is alive and well because it was always there.....besides some questioning it in the aftermath of 'the incident', no one actually said it wasn't.
