OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Let me first say that online abuse is never Ok. I've been guilty of it myself, especially with Galvin but it's usually been said in jest. If he's getting threats and stuff, it's not Ok

No matter what he did, he doesn't deserve "abuse". However, there's a lot between abusing and "booing".

However, Gus and Galvins only have themselves to blame with the way they've carried on. Gould will no doubt start having a shot at the media but
Unless it’s deeply personal like a homophobic or racial slur, or if there are threats made, athletes should be fair game. Criticism comes with the territory. Calling people trolls is just the easy way out these days. Anyone says something slightly negative, or slightly to the contrary of what society deems acceptable, then you are immediately classed as a troll.
 
This place is timid compared to some of the stuff on the Facebook groups ive seen...

Also they use the term 'bullying', but do they mean? Someone saying he's shit as a 7 and sexton should be 7? I don't consider that bullying...
I am hazarding a guess that is not what people are writing to Galvin and his family that is causing them concern...
 
I would suspect there is little to no doubt there’s people on here who did/do it.
Im think its mostly Dogs fans who have witnessed their season totally derailed who have put the boot in
Most of us here understand the situation, accept reality and have moved on and whilst totally pissed with Galvin and wishing his career to be a categoric failure..sort of
accept it!
" Is what it is" in the famous words of another departee that amounted to absolutely nothing..

Cmon GNR. No one is talking about criticism here and I doubt you would find anyone with a public profile who is upset with some criticism. Its mindless abuse and threats that is cowardly and wrong.

I still want to know if the article is based on him directly coping abuse online or they just trying PR spin as there had been criticism on forums such as the kennel and even here

So what is causing them concern? Why not come out and say it?

Instead, they left it up to the imagination, so now anyone who has read the article and thinks about making a comment about Galvin again, might think twice.. including commentators.

Its their PR in full swing..

So if the bulldogs lose, everyone feels sorry for Lachy... The commentators won't put any crap on him, even if he fks up...because of the public perception of abuse and bullying

I'm sorry, but this whole thing is a big steaming pile of shit until they get specific..

I'm not saying it hasn't happened - ppl can be assholes . But if it was that serious, then there'd be more action taken than just an article by Weiner, blowing smoke up the ass of the big wigs over at the dogs.
 
I did say threats aren’t acceptable. But I haven’t seen anyone anywhere threaten the guy or his family.
Im really just working off the kinds of messages other players have shared over the years and what I know about people's behaviour online in general and putting 2 and 2 together.

If it is nothing more than - "hey lachie, have you ever thought 13 was maybe your position" or "hey Lachie, Bulldogs seemed to be going much better with Sexton as half" I will stand corrected.

Agreed that Dogs have gone the wrong (or right depending on their motivations) way about it.

They should be making police reports, employing private investigators etc.

Critiquing his form, attitude, even effort is perfectly fine. That’s not bullying.
Abusing a player on a personal level, leading through to threats of violence and death is and it should be called out and punished.
