#2 Jordan De Goey

[Skids]

[lihei]

Fire him

[Harrysz]

You don't trade a #5 draft pick who's still young and showing plenty of potential.

What's with this alcohol culture? Why does an elite athlete (which he'll surely become) drink alcohol at this time of year? Imagine if he'd had an accident and injured someone, or worse. What sort of mindset is this? He should be fined and suspended for a few weeks. It worked with Stevie J in 2007. Ok, De Goey was suspended last year but it was for something different. Someone at Collingwood or retained by Collingwood needs to counsel De Goey to get his head and mind right. This behavior is unacceptable.

It wouldn't be a pre-season without some Collingwood player getting into trouble,would it?

All of the above comment about drink driving is true. And any other player I’d be more forgiving of. But after the crap this time last year this idiot owes his team mates and the club more. He should be off the grog and doing everything he can to make sure he’s at his best. Has Totally let everyone who supports Collingwood down. Any punishment is going to make everyone suffer. He has to pay somehow though. I don’t want him sacked because that will come back to haunt us but there has to be some sort of statement by the club to show that our culture simply won’t accept this.

Skids, in Victoria, .05 and over you are done. Now even first offence you have to have an interlock device fitted. Out of pocket above the fine is the installation cost, monthly service cost and then a removal cost. He is going to feel the pain more than what expired last year. I hope the club forces him to use public transport and actually walk everywhere.

0.095 is high range, with the possibility of a gaol sentence.

From a player who screwed the pooch majorly last year, and hasn't done very much in the years he has been here

If you wonder why there's a culture of 'I can do what I want' with the young players (and older club officials), look no further than some of the comments on this thread

I’m pretty sure it was actually his dog driving and he was just a passenger.

[RudeBoy]

It's certainly disappointing as he is developing a pattern of unprofessional behaviour. He is still young and has the time to recognise his poor decision-making and grasp the enormous opportunities presented for him at a club like Collingwood. It's not a career ending moment, and after all, we are still in the off-season, but it does suggest he has still not understood what he needs to do to become the elite player we all know he could become. I still think he needs our support. Some people take longer than others to grow up. You'd think he'd just about be on his last chance now. Let's hope he recognises that and puts his arsse up and head down and works his butt off and has a terrific season.

"I won't let you down" - Jordan De Goey on the day he was drafted.

I worry about the direction he's heading in. Two off-seasons in a row where he's been involved in an off-field discretion, and what's most annoying is that he has all the talent in the world to become an A-grader, but these undisciplined acts is what will hold him back.

I suppose he notified the club right away based on their statement unlike last year when he was found to be lying to them about a pub fight he was involved in.
