It was suggested that Nev may be missing because of said emoji.

This is rubbish and has already been explained here a few times.

You blokes who keep trying to minimize this to 'an emoji' are just nowhere near actually understanding the situation.

Nothing to do with left and right and to try and suggest so is completely transparent.

How am I twisting your words?
Did you or did you not suggest Nev might be missing because someone posted an emoji?

I suggested that there was a possibility he may be missing out because they might think he would need time out to clear his head and be with his family (no mention of it being because of an emoji). To you it might be “just an emoji”, but you probably haven’t been very publicly subjected to comments based on your race on who knows how many occasions. And how is it virtue signaling to wish that racism did not exist to the degree that it still does?

When all else fails, the old reduce it to the left vs right trick. Laughable.

So what were you suggesting he needed to clear his head and be with his family from in a threat titled "Racist comment targeting Nev" ?

And you can wish like a child all you like.
Still won't make it go away.

It was suggested and to reference that is reasonable. I come here to talk about the football,  you folk can talk about twitter if you want. I would suggest that if twitter is so upsetting, well you don't have to use it or look at it. Life goes on without twitter. A lot of idiots seem to use twitter and an anonymous troll should not be such a threat. There are laws and standards to deal with these issues. It is nothing to do with footy.

No, you've either completely misunderstood it or are purposely playing dumb despite it being already explained.

This wasn't on twitter.

It has to do with one of our players.

Yes, I do appreciate the irony in you continuing to post things like 'if you don't like it, don't look' in a thread you obviously don't like.

First part doesn’t make much sense... it was relevant to the topic. It’s very obvious that comprehension is not your strong suit.

Second part... has nothing to do with my question re virtue signaling.

None of this is about Nev.

Its all about the posters now.

Must admit .... I am bored.
So bored I'm arguing with triggered snowflakes on the internet.
Hate sunday arvo games.
 
Anyway, good news is Essendon got done by a point.

Yeah, it’s become an exercise in banging one’s head against a brick wall. I’ll cease and desist.

You must be such a tough guy yourself

 As I have posted on here before, I can see your point, it can become boring having a battle of wits with unarmed opponents

I agree with @hardtack you didn't make much sense in your post

I am a big fan of Nev, think like Jones and Hibberd he was omitted on form, he will fight back

Not only against the racism but also to get back in the team

Silly little spats like those in this thread really do make things unpleasant for the rest of us.

Think before you post. There is a broader audience reading.

You're the one with your panties in a bunch cause my opinion is different to yours.
You don't lke it .... Scroll on.
 

So now we know that you are sexist and racist. Good to know.

I disagree with something Hardtack said earlier. He said you have a choice not to read this thread. I disagree because I wish you would keep reading so you might understand why people disagree with you so vehemently. Perhaps it's a forlorn hope, but maybe one day you'll understand.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
