Footy is becoming a joke if these two get suspended - along with the Hawkins one. No malice or aggression in either one.
You don’t gain respect by ruling with an iron fist. Look at rugby and soccer where the players have a lot more respect for umpires. They can touch a guy on the arm, no big deal.
Afl treating the players like school kids as usual
To those who want ABN out. Which hard running HF That follows team rules should we bring in?
i admit his output has been poor but we lack depth in this area
ive read this twice and have no idea what your point is
he rated us as top 8 and now changed his mind based on our performances? and he should not have?
I'm confused by this (admittedly it doesn't take much). I would have thought that a smaller ground you would need better kicking skills as there is less space??
Teams that play MCG well are more mature, better runners to cover the ground?
I usually stick up for Australia when we are accused of being a racist country but maybe I should stop
I am saddened by a lot of the views and opinions posted in this thread. Racist remarks of any kind are vile and cut so deep. comparing racist comments to other types of name calling or blokey banter is ridiculous.
it is not upto the victim to 'move on', quit AFL or cop it on the chin. Racism is not acceptable. full stop.
we still have a long way to go it seems
Apologies by those in the media that are ordered to do so don't hold much weight imo. From memory Eddie had 3 goes at his 'apology' until he started to sound the least bit remorseful
So I don't hold it against those vilified to not just accept such apologies if the offense taken was great in the first instance
the annoying thing is if I re-did my ladder predictor with the two NT games in Melb I would have us making the finals
errr, not to de-rail the thread or nuthin
Going to Shiddihad today but I am not confident. Saints will have intensity and if we start like we did against the bombers we will be down by 4 goals at half time.
Bad feeling about this one. I think we'll be flat about the 2 games in 5 days and we will be carrying a few sore lads. Saints will be fired up after being hammered in the media again.
Hope I'm wrong
