Teams have off games, the trust will be dependent on how we respond against the Bombers and for the rest of the year.

$25k? They make half a million a game down there don't they? The fact is we had the option of playing at the G and we didn't - as a player I'd be pretty annoyed with that. The only thing the club should be worried about at this stage is looking after the players and banking 4 points.

It's not unrealistic, Geelong have been given the option of playing at Kardinia Park in front of no supporters on Friday which they are likely to take. They value the welfare of their players and the 4 points over a few quid.

Don't feel as though you have to justify yourself to online trolls

It was our choice to play there

Disgusted

Furious with this "effort", absolutely pathetic today

Pull your [censored] finger out Demons. Playing lazy footy all day,second to the ball around the contest, no run off half back, no pressure inside 50. It's been a very frustrating performance today.

Whatever you think of him, his evolution of the flood into "Clarkos Cluster" changed the game and won flags. You don't three-peat by just being lucky.

It's not the rules its the way the umpires are coached to "interpret" them.

He also knocked back an offer from North who won two flags and would have won another two with him in the side.

How good are his kicking skills?

Oh yeah that looks like a better copy than mine, nice!

I have a copy of that - its not pristine obviously being a VHS conversion from 35 years ago but I'll try and find an upload that too. For years I only had the ABC replay of the 2nd half but managed to get a copy of the full game (plus some footage in the rooms post game from memory).

I watched it last night, great memories - Yze, Bruce and Johnstone were silk and Farmer lived up to his nickname that season, what a bloody legend. Great to see Daniher, Schwarz, Neitz, Robbo, White etc great team just missed some mongrel and defensive structure. Hopefully we've got the mix right this time.

Utopia, Hollow Men, Frontline, The Late Show - absolutely brilliant

So what do you think is their agenda?

It wouldn't really surprise me if that is the case. It's nowhere near what it was in previous eras in large part due to changes in society and the demographic of AFL crowds compared to previous generations.

They're not journalists, they're "reporters"

To me that's the whole point of this research - to have some verifiable data that can be used to put pressure on the AFL to take real action. Having said that, besides the Adam Goodes incidents (which I only witnessed on tv) the only real racism I can recall witnessing was at a Saints game in the late 90s. This Saints supporter was getting stuck into Farmer making idiotic comments about petrol sniffing etc I called him out on it and asked him if he had forgotten about a guy named Nicky Winmar. We went on to belt them in that game (98 semi) so he was pretty quiet after that anyway. I generally sit at ground level in the AFL members but I reckon you get more of the idiots sitting in GA or up on level 4 particular those groups of younger guys who go to the footy to get [censored] and mouth off. You probably don't see that as much in the MCC or club reserved members areas.

Didn't you post "of course there is racism" - yet you think there is an agenda by these researchers to make out as though there is racism when there isn't despite admitting there is?

No-one is taking on Grundy's contract and De Goey's value will be at its lowest ebb at the moment (pending outcome of his court case as well)

Here you go

I don't think they are really worried about the teachers - it's all the parents mingling/hanging around during drop off/pick up time especially primary schools.
