it's all BS, od the melbourne club male-only rules is BS the reaction to the coterie club booking is also all BS it's all BS about being outraged over political correctness and the misguided power of social media by a noisy minority seeking significance and craving attention you can participate in the BS or ignore the BS but it's still BS beware of what a society you wish for.....we are headed for idiocracy

wonder what it cost the coterie/club to break the booking at the last minute?

think you must have those figures wrong way around

yeah, girls sitting 6th and last 3 games against top 5 sides they only play 9 out of a possible 13 teams. looks like they got a bad draw as it turns out

dream on... couldn't believe someone took so much time to trawl and cut/paste the thread come back sometime when you have an original thought

this would make more sense if we were talking of social media if newspapers want to stay viable they need to differentiate themselves from this junk otherwise tis just a race to the bottom (which it seems to be anyway)

very true rjay. had forgot mckernan went to aints

yes, that would be a problem. i think that if the board don't make an announcement of an inner city development this year there will be hell to play

careful......allegedly female :)

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz a classic little goffy wall of text

it just means we had a good year and goody would be safe for another year ?

true, but boy, greenvale to casey is not just a drive, it's a flipping expedition!

i'm not going to go into a wyl-marathon with you over this one point, we agree to disagree

just that the story doesn't just hinge on bartlett and pert as i said before

strongly disagree. i went back and read original abc story. suggest you do too

if bartlett and pert did stay away it would still have been reported by the abc journo and by the woke crowd because of the close association with the mfc. never let the facts get in the way of a "good" story (journalism 101)

for diplomatic reasons, maybe, but a bit hard to snub your major financial backers. maybe by the time they knew the details it was too late to organise a diplomatic switch of venues, we just don't know all the details, but i presume this situation will be avoided in future now, and the woke crowd will just find something else to be outraged by

i always thought we could (depending on covid) be stuck at casey all year, but that it wasn't necessarily fixed could be wrong, but

nothing surprises me these days, binman just disappoints me how petty things can get so quickly obviously, ymmv

dazzle, where did you get it that we will be stuck at casey all year? i just thought it was temporary and the guys would get back to gosch's before too long

no just click bait parasites.....but you knew that didn't you

ok let's tar and feather bartlett or better still cancel the elite, privileged, sexist [censored] let's pass a law that all decisions be ratified by the chattering class on social media there, that sounds like a good solution

and i suppose there would be quite a few australians grossly offended by the cultural appropriation of "A" in AFL lol.....first world problems think i'll cheer myself by going out and burning all my dr seuss books......no wait a moment that would be climatically irresponsible releasing all that carbon. looks like i'll have to dig a deep hole to sequester all that poison.

i'm not defending an essentially social club having a no women policy and i wouldn't become a member if my wife couldn't be a member. but, it doesn't worry me one iota if it exists. people have a choice to congregate with whoever they like. the coterie club are presumably just booking it because it best fits its purpose as a venue and its membership is inconsequential except for those who are always jumping at shadows and desperate to virtue signal get a life, people p.s. congratulations, you guessed correctly

gross? love the hyperbole.... you will run out of adjectives when you have a real problem.....sheesh
