Funny, I don't remember anyone kicking up a stink about this...



Leon did one of these as well in support of Krakouer.

Well it does nothing for his image.

The neck tatts aren't a great look either.

He looks like a member of a bikie gang.

And he wants $600,000 a season.

Dreamin.

Well seeing as his family is heavily involved in the Rebels MC that's no great surprise.

He's a front runner and I wouldn't touch him with a 50 foot pole if he became available on the market, despite his undoubted talent.

He's trouble with a capital T.

Think the media coverage has been over-the-top? Wait 'til this happens...

Rumour is that we've offered Martin $700,000 a year on 4 year deal...

Oh no, the parents will have to talk to their kids about something other than bunny rabbits and flowers? The poor dears. Crying or Very sad

Hot tip for any parent confronting this (somewhat unlikely) predicament: "Well, Johnny, there's a thing called jail. Human beings who break the law and hurt other people go there. They are still allowed to have friends, though, and those friends don't have to be ashamed of knowing them or stop mentioning them in public. It doesn't mean that they think it's right to break the law; it just means that they're still thinking of them. Now let me teach you the gesture for 'up yours' for next time we walk past AFL House."


This 100%. Last time I looked the AFL was a sporting competition, not the moral guide for people to live by. I'm so over the sanitising of personalities in sport. Why don't we just have a bunch of robots running around out there, they can all nod and smile on command.

Your last 2 points are relevant to footy and make sense. Your first 3 not so much.

Who cares what he looks like? Commenting on a person based on his ink is kinda lame. Says more about you than it does about him.

The AFL has asked Richmond to investigate why midfielder Dustin Martin offered a jailhouse salute after he kicked a goal during the Tigers' upset loss to Carlton on Sunday.

Martin made the emotional tribute in front of the biggest ever crowd at an elimination final after booting a goal in the second term of the 20-point defeat at the MCG.

The Tigers do not know what prompted the celebration, or to whom it was directed.

AFL spokesman Patrick Keane confirmed on Monday the league had contacted the Tigers.

"We asked the club to deal with it via their in house mechanisms, rather than have us issue a formal note to him," he said.


Absolutely fuming at this. Who do these people think they are? Who does this self-righteous knob Luke Darcy think he is to pontificate on it? Perhaps the AFL would do better to focus on their own poor governance than pile onto a player for offering some support to a friend or family member.


I agree with you 100% there David... It wasn't just Luke Darcy but also Carey that turned their noses up at it... . I really think its a beautiful gesture....

Carey is the last person who should get up on his moral high house about anything.
