Unfortunately yes.

The Burnt Dwarf Affair has gained a lot more publicity that the feel good last win......and will certainly be dredged up again and again for years to come.

Its up to us to starve her of ammunition !!

Did she have an affair with a burnt dwarf....was there a fraction too much friction

[PJ]

IMO it's her and her media buddies that are making this into the stink that it is. Yes CJ was wrong but he has apologised and been fined - move on . It only wipes out the positives because she continues to right this negative, subjective, biased dribble.

I'm actually p*ssed off that they are saying it's a St.Kilda issue. What cr*p. This is a player activity and nothing to do with the club. The players are on break FFS.

Complete and utter over reaction.

[SainterK]

Yep.

Players agree this time, very obvious they know they've been naughty.

[Stephen Theodore]

Exactly right. IMO that article wasn't far off the mark at all.

[thejiggingsaint]

To tell the truth, I thought the article was spot-on! I'm embarrassed by the whole affair. Some of the points she made about leadership (IMHO) were valid. At the risk of being howled down, may I suggest that the St Kilda Footy club become trail blazers in putting an end to "Mad Monday" and other such activities?

[Old Mate]

Who cares? She has a head on her like a dropped pie.

Why don't the media F**K off on Mad Monday and let the players have a day off to unwind instead of camping out where the Mad Monday is being held looking for the next day's lead story.

Robbo wrote a story today about Paul Roos' appointment as Melbourne coach and he started the article talking about Saints players torching a midget.. F**K the media.. unaccountable troublemakers

Shoot the messenger!

Your opinion mate, its all the medias fault, wise men look for reasons for the bad publicity rather than seeking excuses for reprehensible behavior. I'm of the opinion that it is now 2013 and players are capable of "unwinding" in a far more responsible way than in the past...or am I wrong? What happened at the Mad Monday do has put the club back on the "scandal barometer" yet again! I'm not sure about how others feel, but I for one, am heartily SICK of this sort of stuff happening year in and year out! Time to GROW UP!

It's not the medias fault, but, they go around looking for muck and if they get some they go to town. Jones shouldn't have been an arsonist, but, the media should report it , if it's newsworthy, and then f**k off and find another story, not go over it and over it and over it and over it, day after day after day and then lead a completely non related story with the burning midget incident.

That is my argument, look what they tried to do to Rich re the wheelchair dude, they only backed off when they realised the wheelie was having a lend of them... it's a feral occupation

[PJ]

Just a question......if the person that had their shirt burnt(hope it wasn't his best shirt) had not been a midget would people be so outraged by this?

The only reason it's an issue is because it's StKilda, if the media hadn't have got hold of it then it wouldn't be an issue, F*** the media, worst profession one could get involved in...

Good call. Ugly people shouldn't be allowed to do anything in our society.

You seemed to like her when she was bringing the Bombers down.

yer spot on , such a joke we are still talking about it. I no players are role models etc etc , but there also human. Listening to ken judge talk s*** today about it was just blowing it all out the water even more.

Fair enough.... Should not have happened

Probably not but it was a Hate Crime, don't forget.

It was dumb, don't forget!

In order to see if it is non issue Wayne, maybe you should volunteer to have your shirt burnt whilst you are wearing it and see how funny it is.

It was thinking along the lines of a knuckle dragging rugby league Neanderthal. It isn't funny, it is idiotic, stupid and imagine what would be happening if the guy had suffered serious burns and was in hospital.

I have no problem with the guys unwinding in an end of season party, they actually deserve to be able to let their hair down a little bit, but we don't need incidents like this which just screw the club and further reduce membership.

Yes the media does go overboard, the solution is to give the media nothing to run with in the first place.

Personally I think CJ got off lightly, I would have suspended him until May 2014.
