The heart beats true

Zorko having an absolute stinker. Given up 2 goals to his opponent and then gave an unnecessary free kick reversal that resulted in that goal.

I assume Zorko ran over to Coniglio to make fun of his mum.

Umpires over thinking it.

Cmon Giants. I’d like nothing more than Brisbane continuing to under perform when it matters.

How dare you.

That last second goal has every fan on every footy forum saying… ’I thought we were the only ones who gave up red time goals!’.

Still.

I feel for players trying to tackle.

I feel like the only logical solution here is to lobby the Chinese government to create maps that clearly show Polynesia as part of Asia. Everyone will be too terrified to disagree, and we’ll get Tairon.

100 per cent of the supporters I’m friends with don’t care what Joe thinks.

Geelong don’t have a good pick to give up, so this could get interesting. He was pick 7 in ‘18, so Dogs are going to want something similar.

Then we should do it every year! Maybe even pencil in a mid year one, to make sure.

Tom Sparrow’s manager needs to get that photo taken down immediately. That’ll really damage his brand.

Great stuff ET. I’m probably a bit sensitive as I haven’t really loved seeing some of the pile on of one of our posters here, who happens to be female. It made me uncomfortable, but in a way I don’t think I’m able to articulate properly. Again, apologies for misinterpreting your comment. I just wish everyone could perhaps act with a little more empathy (and I’ll try and remember to do the same!). Enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍

Well if that’s how you feel then I agree. I thought you were suggesting something else, so I’m sorry if I took it in a way that wasn’t intended. 👍

Why? Theres a bit of a weird misogynistic tone about parts of this thread that I don’t really love.

I couldn’t find this article. What did they say about Jack?

I think it’s just fresh. I imagine most folks will move on pretty quickly next season, particularly if there are wins. Football teams are very tribal too. Most of us don’t have a choice. It’s a family thing that we inherited, or it was a very early life choice that is ingrained. It’s quite a unique relationship between sports teams and their fans. It’s a bit like the mob, once you’re in there’s only one way out. So people will back in the institution over the individual in that circumstance, because they have a fierce loyalty to the immortality of the institution.

Dull game, after such a cracker this arvo.

I know! And only getting paid a million dollars a year. The nerve. The reality is that sport is entertainment, and as a result there is a trade off in terms of a relationship between fans and athletes. The club knows this all too well - because they essentially sell access to the players as sponsorship. It’s immature to think the fans aren’t a critical part of the game - just as an audience is to a film. They (we) literally pay for the whole thing.

Well, at least the Sydney game was good. 1 out of 4 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I suspect so too. I just wish the whole thing didn’t feel so much like an own goal.

What did I miss with Lever? Did he have a surgery?

I don’t know who I hate more in tonight’s game.

But why can’t both things be true? Why do we have to pick a side in all this? Tracc has acted poorly, while also having some legitimate and real concerns about how the club is being managed. I don’t get how calling out his behaviour equals accepting that the club is all good. Both things can be true.
