It's your reply that is ignorant.

At least let the high horse slow down prior to jumping on it.

 

Why the bloke apologised is beyond me.

 

 

I think Steve said "apologies to those offended"

That is fair enough, he has no need to be sorry for what he said, and he has not apologised for what he said.

    Tex Walker said on radio last year after Lever moved to the dees that “if you’re driven by money or you’re driven by success, that’s a decision you need to make”

    If I was the coach, I’d have our best 23 focussed on proving this week that our best is more successful than their best. 

    Interesting...

    I think there are a few clubs that play the loyalty v the dollars thread very hard and included in those are Adelaide and West Coast. Hawthorn used to be masters at it but after they dumped the leaders at the end of 2016 I suspect they are very much back with the pack.

    Money or success? 

    Why not both....( awaits cheesy ad...lol )

    Seriously ... it's a furphy that they need be mutually exclusive. Indeed some argue one is the measure of the other.

    I simply understand that many Crows had their noses collectively kicked out of joint. So be it.

    If they focus on Lever... they'll come unstuck.

    Its time, we gave much more respect to all our indigenous peoples, for the pain, the hurt we have done to their races, since the europeans settled in here.

    The joke was about Garrett. End of story

    People are far too quick to adopt indignations.

    Damn, snowflakes have taken over this thread.

    Must be tough going through life spending so much energy looking for offence.

    Garlett/Garrett. Easy to see what the joke was about if you care to look instead of rushing to be outraged.

    Sad thing is, even after his/her error was clearly pointed out, they still choose to ride their high horse. Living in central Australia, I have enormous sympathy for the barriers placed against Indigenous Australians and know the history very well. Here, it is not relevant.

    I understood the original comment, about 'Garret'. and beds are burning.

     but not the running commentary since, its all a bit vague.

    Jamie Bennell would consistently get a game in Darwin back in the day, often picked from nowhere to play so I wouldn’t be surprised if Spargo is rested & Garlett does come in, not entirely because of indigenous round but think it may play a part in Garletts secletion

    Jamie Bennell played once in Darwin and had played every game of the season up until that point.

    Play Garlett because it’s Indigenous Round and we’re playing in Alice Springs? Bloody hell.

    A joke... perchanced upon a malapropism was all it was. The song was actually irrelevant other than to denote the singer..and by such the joke.

    All the rest  is also irrelevant but to those that see shadows where none exist.

    It's ridiculous, ET.  Someone even suggested playing him because a family member designed the guernsey.

    If Garlett does play on the weekend then it's because he deserved a run, no other reason.  If he doesn't play then clearly the FD are going for the win, not sentimentality.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
