St Kilda Photo Scandal

[Wardy]

Sam Gilbert is going to have to come clean on everything if this is going to conclude in that is he has to explain the photo's, why he kept them and also tell all on his relationship with this child (because she was probably only 16 at the time - and where were her parents???) there are faults on all sides here.

So with the girl saying that she has photo's of players from other clubs, one has to ask "so how did she get those?" was it a) - she was at a party with a sprinkling of players from each club nudeing it up and photo's being taken? b) she has had liasons with players from other clubs (and taken photo's)? c) Sam Gilbert is a habitual photographer of nude players and has a chache of stuff that could be downloaded off his computer? or d) she is very clever with a computer herself and has superimposed the heads of players onto other bodies (its not as stupid as it sounds) - whatever the deal - its all very messy, and isnt doing anyone any favours. It seems that Facebook & Twitter are not the most wonderful social networks they were allegedly intended to be. I mean if its not people seeking revenge for one thing or another - its others who have to tell the world about their every sneeze, burp or fart - I just dont get it.

As I said faults on all sides - players getting nuded up - with a camera with in cooee (and its a recipe for disaster)- and a young girl trying to play grown up games and getting badly burnt. Its all very sad.

I know us boys get up to some interesting things when we are on a "night out/weekend away", but why would you take pics of each others equipment??
Especially if the photographees posed for the pics.

Seems a bit on the weird side to me.
And you're right wardy, Gilbert has a lot of explaining to do. A bit embarrassing for himself, and the photographees.

The girl, to us, sounds like a woman scorned.

Blues, Swans to be next targets.

Hell hath no fury................... you are bang on the money - but she is so young - where was the parental supervision?

Have all the social networks turned us all into a bunch of Mrs Mangles - do we really have to know everything about everyone? I mean look at Warnie - it was like Twitter was invented just for him!!! call me old fasthioned but I just dont get it! (even though I'm on Facebook, I have only posted one thing I think and even then I only joined to see a friends wedding photo's and to add another friend to Big Al's list of 8!)

I'm over this already. Who cares. Brings back memories of an old song:

[Big Al]

You've got to be @@@@ing kidding me.

Who the hell from our club would be involved in this garbage.

I never thought anybody from the Swannies would be involved in this nonsense.

We have 42 testosterone filled human males in the club so it would be naive to think that they're all angels and wouldn't do anything wrong. To be honest as long as they do nothing illegal and prepare for games professionally what they do in their personal lives is their business.

Actually Wardy I got up to 50 friends until an old girlfriend posted some racy pictures and it went back down to 14. Some people just have weak stomachs.

were they the photo's from the work Christmas party in 1996? ah those were the days!!!?

[Mr Magoo]

Who really cares what these guys do and please spare me the nude photos. I still cant understand the current generations obsession with taking photos of themselves (or allowing them to be taken) in these sort of compromising positions. I dont even understand how these guys got to be in a room with one another sans clothing let alone to then allow a few pictures to be exchanged.

Top40: This scandal is with the particular girl, not the St Kilda players. I just hope some of the judgmental persons who in recent past has condemed the sexual conduct of players in all football codes, (but particular Rugby League and AFL), might be publically supportive of these St Kilda players. It just goes to show that in terms of inappropriate sexual conduct, it is not a one way street.

Got it in one Toppy.

***********************************

The thing that gets me is that its the sameold sameold. Girls who just don't get it. Blokes who are trying to "get it". Burned burned burned. I mean, where were the condoms. Huh? Hers? His? Who is this stupid.....to me she is a silly twit, who went after footballers, got what she was asking for, except the big wedding and cooing love messages on her iphone. What female out there has caught themselves a beaut looking bloke, had a bit of a fluffy night, and expected bells and whistles thereafter, and got nothing except that gradual realisation "that he is just not that into you". Umm, nearly all of us. I am talking as a seriously senior person here who grew up in the sixties, when condoms were not necessary, we had "The Pill". And yes we were as stupid then as this girl appears to be now.

Is she honestly saying she has nude photos of blokes from all these other clubs? How? Took them herself? How? I mean......are you serious? Digging a very very deep hole here.

I am just so over it. Grow up. Someone point out to her that if she downloaded pictures off someone else's computer without their permission or knowledge, that its stealing, and that's against the law. theft is a nasty crime, that people go to jail for, has anyone pointed this out yet?

As for the bloke involved who a) took photos! b) ignored his captain's request to delete the said picture which was taken without his permission in his own hotel room because he didn't sleep in jarmies, c) let his testosterone loose on an underage female who should have more brains to start with, d) downloaded pictures into his computer and didn't put a block on the access, and then dumped said female (been there, done that, nothing new, works both ways), good lord, this is all so predictable, and just sooooo Glenn Close!

OK, it went further, bub involved, but.....if he didn't want to know, its not surprising, but in the long run immature and weak. But to drag other people in for revenge when she went hunting footy boys, good grief, am I the only one who says, well, perhaps I shouldn't exactly say exactly what I think, but...........what the hell did you expect!

And really, compared to the recent NRL phot scandal. This is absolutely nothing.
