It wasn't just a glass a wine mate.

Really, can you tell us your evidence?

Then we should also be dropping players who aren't performing regardless of their draft pick number.

I dont disagree but it all depends on the alternative options.

The rumour mill is swirling.  The penalty handed out suggests that bigger things were happening.

Daisy and Cripps have both played angry the last 2 or 3 weeks. I wonder what's up ?

Everybody’s entitled to their opinion,but I’d certainly be suspending Daisy

How can it be that a senior player is drinking alcohol mid week??? Wtf is going on. Some players in the VFAA and EDFL are more professional and there’s simply no excuse fir a full time sportsperson.. This is a professional not a hobby and I’d be ropable if I was the coach.

I think Judd’s comments are relevant.  They were along the lines of a glass of wine with a meal is OK but drinking in public is not a good look. 

I don’t think the club had any option other than to suspend Daisy.  Apart from showing the AFL community that we are committed to striving for high standards, it sends a strong message to the playing group.

They play with a bunch of soft c0cks.

Well, assuming that's true, it's taken them a long while to figure it out.

From what I can glean, Daisy and Murphy get on well and are very good mates.

According to one report the waiters were topping up the glasses as they got lower.
If that's true I don't think Daisy could tell you how many drinks he actually had.

My evidence is not a chance in hell the club makes a story of this, if it was just one or two wines with dinner....surely you don't believe that.

Reports where he spilled a drink on Warnock and there were words afterwards....club said he apologised but if that story is 100% true, that means the one drink he had he didn't even drink cause Warnock wore it ;)

As i said earlier there a lot more to this....the 1 or 2 drinks parts was only said IMO to tone things down.

So you just made it up? You could get a job as at the HeraldSun.

Nobody is telling me what warrants this, was Daisy wielding a dangerous pair of chopsticks?

Did Warnock feel threatened?

Did our club strong-arm the accuser so they withdrew their complaints?

Did we hunt down the concerned mother of the victim?

FWIW, Mr Chopsticks

Martin ultimately received no criminal or league imposed sanction for the alleged incident but did receive a club-imposed $5,000 fine for being drunk and acting inappropriately in public. The club chose to suspend the fine considering the massive reputational damage the ultimately unfounded incident had inflicted upon him.

It seems to me the disparity in the way some players and clubs get treated in the media just washes right over many fans like a passing fart! Until our club gets serious about addressing these apparent disparities our players will continue to feel like imposters in the AFL system, and that goes a long way to explaining their performance, lack of development and lack of heart!

Actually I agree with you LP.

I think it's a problem that we are working through but we dont have impeccable history with dealing with these issues.

We're driving high standards while Richmond are winning premierships and breaking membership records.

If I remember correctly, the Chopsticks Affair took place in the off season. 

Many players from other clubs have been exposed in the media for drinking in public; Tex Walker having a beer during a game while out injured springs to mind and Steven May was sprung earlier this season.  Hawthorn’s failure to suspend Luke Hodge was widely criticised and his subsequent suspension for missing training was interpreted as making up for the lenient penalty.

I think that Daisy’s misdemeanour is magnified by our win-loss record rather than any media bias.

I think they go after us because they know our club will be bullied into a reaction!

I'm sure someone like Balme, Malthouse, Sheedy, Clarkson, Riciutto, Roos, Colless, Pridham, etc., etc., would react differently. It's certainly not a chicken and egg situation, they haven't just become vocal after success, they have always been that way! They see defending their players and club as a key to success, not a byproduct of it!

Win games and Daisy could have his way with goat whilst swilling a bottle of Grange in the middle of Burke St and no one would care.
