i actually think the opposite. because of the afl's, protect the head, pay a free kick, a lot of players are now perversely putting their heads in positions that are extremely risky......just to win a free kick (and maybe show how tough they are)

agree, and then there is the virtue-signalling hypocrites like bransom and joyce and organised religion et al. i blame population explosion for igniting these baser sides of human nature. 8 billion [censored] people and climbing exponentially. 44 years ago it was just half that figure.....think about it. solyent green may be just where it's heading after all

quite so drafting 18yo kids from school is a lottery top 10 picks need to be taken on best available, not needs or speculation, even then there are no guarantees as we have seen time and time again

your problem,od, is your memory of how blatant it used to be, certainly what i call little 'r' racism i liked lg's analogy " it is now a fight and not a bashing " it will never totally disappear, people will naturally gravitate to a group and be wary of other groups. the more pressure a group is under the more that group adopts groupthink and more the tendency for that group to discriminate against other groups whether rational or not. racism is just a form of of discrimination and competition. Demonland is a prime example but our discrimination is not based on racism but most time is quite irrational

true, social media gives a voice and platform to the more undesirables where better? why here in australia, od, believe it or not, though it does get somewhat obscured by the fog of social media and hypocrisy

a lot of it is just [censored] for tat. the left is not short when it comes to trotting out pejoratives and reinventing the english language. there is certainly more polarisation

i certainly agree it is getting worse in many parts of the world, fanned by rising nationalism and xenophobia on the other hand it is improving in other parts

yes, but US Olympic sports (cycling, swimming, etc etc) have signed up to wada, so LDVC's comment re bill of rights is still valid

not to mention their union signed off on it too

maybe not, but i was really only talking about the trade-back rule

and carlton, in good faith, was only prepared to offer a 2nd round pick.....yeah, right

there is debate as to whether this refers just to within the nd or whether it includes Trade period + ND if the former then we could trade back pick 22

....and a good tolerance to hard liquor, ernie

i believe it's about 3.25M over 5 years averaging 650k

probably be rested for hawks, but

ahhh, you mean poma, now i get it you'd be no fun in a funicular then, biffo?

gold coast well and truly shafted by carlscum, who value martin so highly on a contract basis but not on a trade basis only hope is gold coast match his demand just to prove a point. afl can back them with a little help somewhere.

yep, musta got early parole

hill went to the aints......duh

do the states have father/son, academies, point values and 20% discounts?

many sociopaths and psychopaths do very well in psychological testing ............just saying

normal greek footwear. but obviously not when in egypt

who in their right mind would want thick woolen socks in egypt?

think you'll get some disagreement on that claim.........anyway, no way we have a chance
