Collingwood....Footballs version of INDIA!!

[West Aussie Tiger]

This is really starting to bug me. I guess living in the West we get alot more scrutiny of the 2 clubs that reside here. Surely there has to be some inquiry into the collingwood football club. How many times do their players need to endanger lives of the general public, before the afl takes a serious look at this.

While i dont condone anything that ben cousins did, he never harmed any other person than himself. These collingwood blokes have willingly got behind the wheel of a car while drunk and tried to drive home. How dumb can you be.

The only reson the AFL in doing jack s**t about this is because of the power they have in the game. Just like india have on the cricket world. you cant even call them a B**tard without having the whole country turn against ya. They have the money, they have the power.

Just my thoughts

Couldn't agree more, living over here, I sit here wondering how come Collingwood won't and after a lot of pressure, very reluctantly suspend their players for misconduct but another club can't make a wrong move with the fear of the axe constantly hanging over its head, I don't condone what Cousins did either, but he only hurt his family and himself, I absolutely loathe the Indian cricket team for what they are doing to cricket especially when it concerns the Australian team and your right Westy, Collingwood do what the hell they like, when they like, when it suits them, as far as I'm concerned, magpies are vermin!

Couldn't agree more.
Collingwood need to be taken to task.
Having said that the Eagles knew in 2001, when, then coach Ken Judge received a phone call from a detective about 2 of the club's players that there was a problem at the club.
The next year the 2 players were made Captain and Vice Captain, after Ken Judge had been sacked at the end of the previous season.
The Eagles condoned certain players behaivour for years.

If Didak hasn't brought the game into disrepute the last couple of years i'll stand smiling.
Common AFL, Didak and Collingwood need to be made an example of.
