Do I condone this behaviour?..NO, Do i Like it?...NO, Do I think it's correct?..NO. I don't like anything about it, and I feel sorry for all those involved, particularly the wives & families of the two men.
BUT, no-one forced anyone to do anything, it was all consensual etc etc etc, so I cannot see why these men should be sacked,...ashamed of themselves yes, but sacked, NO.
Pickles.

Well, the AFL have set themselves up as some sort of moral guardians, to set examples to the rest of us ( what about the poor kiddies????? ), and this is just another example of it.

I'm with you, Pickles. The role of the AFL is to administer the game of Australian Rules Football, no more, no less.

Remember "Sport's Blackest Day"? Disgraceful politicisation of sport to take the spotlight off the woes of the then PM. The ensuing witch hunt nearly cost James Hird his life. It now appears that the AFL learned nothing from that.

Dunno about you, but if I think that my moral compass is a little off, the last people I would turn to for guidance would be professional sports bodies, such as the AFL.

You gotta love all the 'virtue signalling', don'tcha? NOT.

It takes two to tango.

I hope the women got sacked too.

Of course not.
It's all about perceptions and not reality. It's spin.
Pandering to the man haters.

Think of all the people in the AFL who haven't been caught.........

.....yet.
