Putting a percentage on it is fraught with danger however I will say that there is a clear undercurrent of racism that is embedded in our culture.

Agree however just a point - racism isnt just being called names. It's the systematic dismantling of your culture over centuries including massacres, genocide etc and the continuing policies in government and other organisations that reinforce the oppression.

Caroline Wilson added that the AFL CEOs were almost unanimous in wanting the finals to be played in front of crowds, regardless of home ground advantage. “That question was put to the 18 club CEOs yesterday and all but one said if you can’t have a crowd, you can’t play it at the MCG. Interestingly, Gary Pert the CEO of Melbourne said we would rather play at the MCG, crowd or no crowd,” Wilson said. Why ask 18 CEO's? Of course the ones who aren't competing would go with finals wherever they have crowds, there not competing and are looking solely at the bottom line. They should have no say.

They also got pumped by Carlton the week before

Why bother with the 1 dose? A confirmed negative test should be sufficient. Assuming we knock this one (lockdown) on the head the GF is still 6 or 7 weeks away. While I'm not downplaying the threat, it is wise to remember there is still only a handful of people in Victoria that have covid out of how many million that live here? Get a negative test the day before and you should be right to go

Exactly - perhaps scrap the pre finals bye and have a pre grand final bye (like the NFL) so fans could travel and quarantine for 14 days should they be able to attend interstate?

Me too but it won't be the same

It's pretty telling when just treating people decently and with respect is seen as being a value of the "left".

Social media, particularly forums like Twitter and Facebook are, as Obi-Wan said, a hive of scum and villainy. I agree with you, these trolls are looking for this exact response. Stamping out anonymity online is nice in theory but will never happen. VPN's and other masking software is readily available and will be even more accessible in the future as the generation who grew up with this tech becomes more au fait with it. Obviously it's easier to condemn people like Taylor Walker and Eddie Betts would no doubt be hurting over that thinking if I can't even get through to this guy who I assume he considers a friend and who he worked besides for many years, what hope do I have? I think we need to look broader as well - what hope do we have indeed when government policies have been victimising indigenous communities since colonisation? It's a long walk, all we can do is keep fighting the fight and calling it out when it happens but until there is real respect at all levels I think it's pushing [censored] uphill. It's easy to say from a position of privilege but hopefully these guys recognise it for the trolling it is and see that the majority of people side with them in this issue. But it would be hard with the weight of history suggesting otherwise.

Aamer Rahman is fantastic, love this clip

Just the first quarter alone. Jackson denied a clear mark 25m out from goal is one that sticks in my mind. There were plenty, we definitely got the rough end of it which makes it even funnier to hear their whining. They are actually my most hated team only slightly below Essendon

Geelong on alert after recording one of Victoria’s 20 new cases today Surely the chances are slim to none

Definitely

Arms straight, don't spin the ball, keep your ball drop over the kicking leg, drop it straight and kick straight through the ball. Why do some find it so hard? It is their craft!

Simple answer? They're not professional, they are semi-professional

Hibberd in for Hunt

Look I don't disagree but ill worry about that tomorrow not right after a win on the road like that that's sees us reclaim top spot with 2 rounds to go

Doesn't seem to stop tanking in the NBA

Bring him in for Vandenberg

But we didn't lose to the Giants, Bombers or Saints this weekend did we? We actually won, against a team vying for finals, on their home deck, after quarantine for a week, in ridiculous circumstances with the lightning delay and the umps willing them home. Were we perfect? No. But we [censored] WON!!!!

You can still appreciate the wins along the way though. Deal with that if/when it happens LIVE IN THE NOW, MAN!! 😘

We most certainly did not dominate. Tim Kelly dominated, if it wasn't for him west coast had nothing.

We. Are. Top. Of. The. Ladder. Disgraceful? It was a slopfest out there tonight. And we won. Would've won by 6+ goals without the delay.

Geez lighten up mate. We're top of the ladder with 2 games left, sewn up the double chance. Savour these moments.

That bit at the end where held it up and wasted about 15 seconds when the Eagles took the mark was fantastic. Play of the game, loved it.
