photo of WCE which the fans and the club would like you to believe :

seriously most of the sledging is aimed at WCE fans and watching them rage might be the only fun we get

I'd have sledged him before this all came out.

It seems like a surprise to so many

All braun and no brains...at least we now know where the braun comes from.....

Hell yeah, I'd sledge him on it.

Then again I would sledge Anthony Stevens about Carey as O have no or very little integrity or morals!

Apparently he liked it so much he bought the company....some of you will remember those ads!

This is a professional sport, we are talking people's jobs here!!

If sledging a player means that it would negatively impact a players game then i am all for it.

But you have to take note of the character of the person. Some people respond well do it, for example Shane Warne.

If they are vulnerable then sledge away, if not other methods should be used or not at all

Football, like any sport is as much of a mind game as it is physical

Maybe they should pair Braun with Selwood at training so he can get used to it?

Nah, like some others here I would be too busy following Cousins around and giving him a bit. No better than a common criminal, yet he gets away with everything he does. a $900 fine for running from a booze bus is the same as one of us getting a $20 fine for the same thing. Wonder if it was someone like Ashley Sampi or even Quinten Lynch doing the same things would they still be at the club? Not likely. Cousins is the chosen one. I would follow Cuz around all night yelling Run Ben run, the cops are coming. LOL

I just went to pick my wife up from work at DFO Spencer Street, and there were hordes of Eagles fans streaming through the city from the Dome. I have to admit that I gave them heaps from the safety of my car as I passed them.

Didn't achieve much other than to make me fell better, yelling at mums with their kids walking around in WCE jumpers with Benny-boy's number on the back. I was directing them to King Street where they could catch up with Benny-boy and his mates as they tried to 'hook-ip' after the game. They, the mums, didn't look overly happy at my suggestions, but, if you want to let your kid wera the number of an admitted 'substance user' then that's a price you'll have to pay.

Accused of something, found guilty of nothing...

Sound familair..yep the M and M saga

Anyone who sledges Braun yet screamed blue murder when Milne got called a rapist is a freaking hypocrite IMHO

Cousins...different kettle of fish altogether

Otiman · Post: # 433273Post **Otiman** » Sun 12 Aug 2007 9:12pm

I'd have sledged Milne too, if i were an opposition player.

Crowd sledging is a totally different thing, and people should be ejected and banned for it.

Admitted substance abuse
Leaving the scene of an accident
Drunk and disorderly

All Im saying is that if we afford St Kilda players "innocent til proven guilty"..we must do the same for other players too

Not abue but admitted to substance USE - big difference in the 2 words. Also, has never publicly admitted (to my knowledge, what the actual substance was. It could be glue, booze, lighter fluid, spraypaint, or anything else. We just assume it was drugs. No, he hasn't been found guilty of 'drug use' so under your terms it would be wrong to sledge him about 'drug use'.

Now you and I and everbody on the planet may think he was using drugs and therefore many would say he is open to be sledged about it.

With regards to M&M, the charges against them were investigated by the police and they were found to have no case to answer - this is far different to Braun who has had an allegation levelled against him but nobody has actually investigated the truth of the allegation.
