This BBQ gate drama is pretty embarrassing as a Dragons Tragic.
The gathering itself was extremely disappointing and I think most got off lightly but the reports (not confirmed or denied) of how they reacted to being busted is so bloody embarrassing as a fan. Webb was spot on about how the fans feel - not something Doust would’ve acknowledged.
The JDB hiding under the bed is up there as the most embarrassing for me. I’ve already copped heaps from mates.
This is worse for me than Ben Creagh running away from that brawl in SOO. He f**king ran! I could always rationalise that scenario with ‘he’s just not a fighter’ and by all accounts he is a genuinely good man.
Then there was the 70-10 loss embarrassment at the MCG in 2000 by the purple cheats straight after Mundine mouthed off before the game. Made the GF embarrassment almost non existent.
The 38-0 in ‘75 was embarrassing for me and I didn’t even have to deal with it for several weeks due to being overseas on a family holiday and we didn’t actually find out until we were in taxi (St George Taxi) home from the airport! These days we would’ve watched it live anywhere in the world on our phones/tablets and switched off at half time!
