Sam Gilbert.... you've lost me

Seaford_Saint · Tue 21 Dec 2010 10:23am

Rest assured, this has the potential to be far more fracturing WITHIN the playing list than what the Lovett (or any other) incident has been.

One player has severly embarressed and compromised (at least) two other senior and highly respected players.

The best outcome for the club going forwards would be to fully back the innocent parties involved, and look for worthwhile trade to Gilbert at the end of the year.

If I was either Riewoldt or Dal, I would be absolutely FILTHY at the stupid prick (Gilbert even looks like he has an IQ in single figures).

In my humble opinion, the stupid fool has crossed the line of TRUST with his captain and one of his peers - if it was me, the bridge would be broken forever.

I haven't heard the press conference but what did he do other than take some pics? Why are we sacking him,trading him whatever?

He was asked to delete it immedidately and didn't. His captain assumed he had been taken at this word and had deleted it.
How did the girl know the photos were on the laptop to pinch...likely she had been shown them
Appears the Dal Santo one was taken completely without his knowledge
Breach of team mates trust.

I'm not suggest he be traded or sacked, but a lot of bridge building is required.

Geez Louise, settle down. Yes the players will be pissed off at him but he's not going to be traded for it. There will be an in house punishment given to Gilbert and the team will move on stronger and better.

Mmmm has he caused a bit of a furore, maybe embarrassed a couple of guys and their families?

Con Gorozidis · Tue 21 Dec 2010 10:30am

if the dal was TAKEN by Gilbo this will be a massive fiasco. Gilbo in all sorts of troubles and a massive can of worms opened.

To think the dogs sacked aker for a hell of a lot less.

Oh FFS get a grip

The two will be prickly with each other, but if you think that all players have to love each other as brothers, you haven't been around too many sporting clubs.

Aker was absolutely hated in Brisbane and they won three flags. Edwards and McLeod, Williams, and Rhys-Jones, just off the top of my head.

Really need to get a hold of your emotions

dunno dude. depends who and under what circumstances the dal santo one was taken. the riewoldt/zac one is nothing. the other has a different dimension.

gringo · Post: # 1030976Post **gringo** » Tue 21 Dec 2010 10:33am

The dogs sacked Aker for constantly talking s*** in the media and promising to pull his head in. He was not playing good footy at the same time.

No - I disagree. If we can manufacture a trade that is to our advantage, we should pursue it vigorously.

This behaviour breaks all ethics and nothing positive could ever come from it. Move him on.

Too late to trade - club can only sack him.

You want him sacked now?

Big season ahead before next trade period. With Roo and Gilbo supposed to be sharing a forward line together.

Gilbert clearly was asked not to keep the photo by Roo and did anyway.

What a load of sh!t. These guys have group sex amongst other explicit things. He had a nude photo of him on his camera,wowee,get over it.

Re-read the original post...... I suggested a trade at the end of the year.

Let Roo and Dal know what the plan is so they only need to tolerate and work with the stupid prick for a few months.

Roo & Dal CAN be relied upon to keep such confidential matters to themselves without sharing with whores / GF's / wives / family / friends etc..... unlike #19

You should be asking that to Gilbert. What a dumb f*** he is!

That's a certain recipe for a flag in 2011

dals_da_bomb · Tue 21 Dec 2010 10:43am

wouldnt trade depend on what other photos were sourced from him?

Doubt hawks for example would open there arms to him if he had 2 photos of thier players. FOR EXAMPLE.

I didn't say it was a perfect situation - but it limits the damage to 12 months.

Geez people, put yourself in Roo & Dal's shoes...... how would you feel right now??

How do you know?

And you are inferring that the photos were not stolen but freely given to the girl by Gilbert.

Can you corroborate this inference or are you making things up to suit your agenda?

You see, no matter what a footballer does at the club I support, it is no reflection on me, therefore, I am sure that the STKFC will do the right thing with all the facts in front of them.

To infer a player has done something as you have done really needs verificiation.

gringo · Post: # 1031006Post **gringo** » Tue 21 Dec 2010 10:46am

Sam Gilbert seems like a good bloke. He has no doubt put himself in a really embarrassing position, but he can and will make it up to his team mates.

This is a little embarrassing for the players but of all the things that could happen to an AFL player, having your dick shown around is pretty minor.

I didn't search out the pics but unless the players are needing a microscope to find their manhood it really isn't that big a deal. No pun intended.

By the way I never get round to deleting anything off my computer so I can sympathise with the guy.

The OtherThommo · Tue 21 Dec 2010 10:50am

Well put, JB. This whole saga is riddled with assumption and unfounded conclusion. We still have some on here suggesting Roo has something to answer for, FFS.

Who in the hell here knows how she got hold of the photos? At this point Sam's guilty of a) taking the photos b) storing them on his computer after Roo asked him to delete his on the spot. It's dumb and a breach of trust, but until the club does what it does, the rest is just conjecture.
