2 of the last 3 games I've been to I've wanted to belt a supporter of ours.
Go figure eh.
AFL just needs to turn the pisstap off.
Problem solved.

 

I will never understand going to the footy and getting [censored]. Are you there to watch a game or are you there to get drunk? Coz if you want to get drunk, it would be a lot cheaper to do it at a pub or at home. 

Would have been better if one of the Dees supporters was swinging a cheese platter at the ferals.

 

What the AFL should be doing is banning drinking from kitty litter park.

I have only been there once and never again, the place should have been bulldozed years ago.

Some people have a massive problem and much of it is down to the toxic masculinity that is ingrained into our culture. We don't have to be stoning women to death in some parts of the Muslim world to be demonstrating an incredibly dangerous masculinity. Inter-partner violence, domestic violence, spousal rape etc are all big problems in our society. I know because my wife works in the space and I hear some [censored] horrible stories.

I get whiteline fever at the footy and I get very angry. I've never hit anyone in my entire life, but I made a conscious effort at the start of this season to try and control my trigger response to Melbourne turnovers, bad umpiring and Melbourne losses. I'm not perfect and I still get incredibly angry, but I'm getting better and it also means I can move on quicker (this Geelong loss is taking longer than usual though!).

I've been a feminist a long time and the sooner some men acknowledge their propensity for anger and trigger responses, the sooner we can start to eradicate this scummy, lowlife behaviour.

The more we're in denial, as you seem to be, the longer it will continue. The world I want to live in isn't populated with boofhead gronks who want to get around beating up people, because they're too stupid to understand their own feelings.

AF - providing links to "news", reporting on studies, is not a solid source. Link to the study for credibility. You may have missed that the article on increased domestic violence in England after world cup games was basing their facts on one Lancaster University study that looked at one English police force. The tiny sample size, used to slime men around the world is negligent. Yet the toxic feminists will promote it along with the self loathing men. 

Your trigger responses are laughable. In my experience there are 2 types of people interested in triggers, right wing gun lovers and left wing collectives who can't cope with an opposing argument.

Your definition of toxic masculinity is anothers of natural selection. I can understand why you wouldn't like it.I hope my football team isn't confused about what is masculinity and what is toxic on the weekend because I will be really disappointed if they attack the football with anything other than masculinity.

In broad terms, the problem is you get cretins who aspire to being tough guys, but they miss the mark and are wife beaters.

.

NO!   the problem is some PEOPLE (female or male), think it's their right to hit someone else, out of anger. be it a slap a punch a kick or throwing pots and pans at the other.

 

It's not the whack that does the damage...  its the attitude and intent, that does the real damage.

 

'cretins' belong to both genders... and are usually victims themselves.

  • 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.
