Dude said he’s hoping to break the record for the most facepalm emojis for one post. He said he’d wear it as a badge of honour. This is very telling. Whether or not he truly believes what he originally posted, obviously he has intentionally set out with the objective of pi$$ing people off. And… it worked! If I knew how to quote multiple posts at one time I’d quote @Colin B. Flaubert’s post. So instead ima just bump it.

Tall forwards are an area of deficiency for Melbourne and we could get him for next to nothing. Again I don't condone racism and am uncfortable that we call Mark Williams choco given he said it was based on racism to begin with in an SEN interview but he didn't care anymore. Wrecker, this isn't just a mistake it demonstrates he as a leader is contributing actively to the casual racism that is prevalent in society despite the benefit of shared experience from senior indigenous players such as Eddie Betts. I'm all for redemption but for Tex the best thing he can do is front up to his club, show how sorry he is, do work with indigenous groups, and then use his experience to help address the problem of casual racism. The Crows official who reported him to the AFL should be commended. 1

I've never warmed to Taylor, and personally, I'm all in favour of redemption, is Taylor a rigid/permanently fixed racist... I doubt it. But... I struggle to seperate on certain issues. eg: Very very pleased I haven't heard Michael Jackson on the radio in numerous years. However it appears with Taylor, there have been a range of laddish, insensitive experiences over the course of his career, that wouldn't necessarily fit in with the culture that Goodwin has created (or society sanctioned). Do we as a club expend energy on one person to mould them at this point of time for them, or for us? Nah... I don't think so. If we're to speak about the industry as a bubble of employment, then each club has indigenous staff/players, on your last point - it shouldn't be up to indigenous individuals to have to be present, to 'stamp it out'. Times are changing, and rapidly so... and thank gawd for that... just not soon enough....now would be great... How soon is now? *cough* massive segue coming up... Speaking of bigotry, as Morrissey once sang... 'How soon is now.... Randomly, if I'm fitting the lyrics of that song on to either of the individual - I'm not sure which individual it fits, the victim or the perpetrator...potentially both. " I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does There's a club if you'd like to go You could meet somebody who really loves you So you go and you stand on your own And you leave on your own And you go home and you cry And you want to die When you say it's gonna happen now When exactly do you mean? See I've already waited too long And all my hope is gone You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does: How has Morrissey gone from being a poet of the underdog to the biggest [censored] in modern music? I’m as conflicted by him as you are by Michael Jackson (and I love The Smiths). Which brings me to another point. In the 21st century we need a word that highlights we appreciate the work of an artist while acknowledging the artist is a complete piece of [censored]. Picasso, Michael Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Louis CK and on and on. The list is growing every day. It could certainly apply to footballers too. 1

I’m pretty sure he’s probably embarrassed given the responses and hence trying to deflect. But if he’s trolling then why wouldn’t we have a zero tolerance policy and ban him as I have zero patience for that type of behaviour.

Given that Nev and Kozzy have already posted about it on social media, I'd say the answer from the players is a resounding 'no'. Which means there's nothing more to discuss.
