In the wake of so many scandals and stories about AFL players, the AFL has produced an educational DVD to help players understand that women are people too - even if they don't play footy.
Not everyone is happy. Michael Smith raises some questions in this opinion piece about the portrayal of women in the DVD. Whilst some of those concerns may be valid, the DVD does seem to include just the sort of situations that these young men, and others, find themselves in.
As a Criminal Defence Lawyer I see them all the time. Just because, in Michael Smith's ideal world, these situations are demeaning and stereotypical, does not mean that it is not what actually happens.
The DVD has even attracted international attention, with an article in The Times Online about consent in sexual offences.
Who knows, next the AFL might tell its players, "Just say no to drugs"

Nice blog. I appreciate your efforts.If you are a learner driver or probationary driver, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) that applies to you is zero. This is also the case for professional drivers such as truck and taxi drivers, as well as people who have previously committed drink driving offences. For everyone else, the limit is 0.05.Drug Driving Lawyers Melbourne
