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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
