rosy23 said:Ok I've missed something here so don't understand the middle ground sorry. Did North contact the media about Daw's suspension but not give details? I assumed North were quiet, as we were with Dan's suspension, but the media got onto it forcing them to give details to kill the speculation.
rosy23 said:How has North handled it diabolically? I reckon the media have whipped up a frenzy and alluded to the suspension being due to unrelated, and seemingly irrelevant, incidents. According to North Daw was suspended for being out at a night club while on rehab. Seems fair enough to me if that's their rules.

oh dear, keep digging that grave Eugene!Tony Braxton-Hicks said:According to Arocca, Egyptians are liars and shouldn't be trusted:
CEO Eugene Arocca this morning defended the 20-year-old, who was suspended yesterday for lying to the club, describing him as a "great young man" who had fled war-torn Sudan and spent three years in Egypt as a young boy. That experience had shaped his world view, Mr Arocca said.
"This is a chap who was in Egypt for three years with his family as a 12-year-old. I think lying might have been a part of the way they had to survive. I think you've got to take that into account," Mr Arocca told radio station 3AW.

I can't believe this. Is this for real? What are they thinking down there at Arden St.Tony Braxton-Hicks said:According to Arocca, Egyptians are liars and shouldn't be trusted:

Tigers of Old said:On one hand I am surprised that this is getting so much attention but on the other Norf absolutely milked the publicity at the time of his drafting and since for that matter.
You reap what you sow.
TigerFurious said:I'm not convinced we have been told the full story here. Seems rather excessive to suspend a rookie listed player indefinitely for lying.
Baloo said:Dunno, I'd want our club to do the same if one of our rookies told a bare faced lie straight to our coach about going out to a nightclub.
CC TIGER said:No doubt the 2012 AFL season will always remembered for the Back Daw inncident
Uncle said:Have been told that some points raised by the media have been extremely watered down & there is more to this story than meets the eye!
