Almost as stupid as the Maynard thread which was based on Gadson's thought bubble.

University research on fans' views of racism in the AFL

BS - Your first post introduced Snowflake, cancel culture & freedom of speech & started the derailment. Take a bow. -
University research on fans' views of racism in the AFL
Cranky Franky replied to theacademic's topic in Melbourne Demons
Say No to Racism is obviously a great idea. I think sapiens evolved to be wary of anyone who spoke, acted or looked different to our own small family group. Even in the modern era in small remote places people are wary of anyone who is different or not a "local". Eliminating racism is a long slow exercise. -

You made a comment about this thread going off the rails yet you were the first derailer. -

Macca your lecture contains a lot of platitudes and assertions but no evidence. -

Jeez you certainly have a thick hide to raise this considering u hijacked the thread by bringing up snow flakes and cancel culture -

Yes the treatment of Adam Goodes was dreadful but in my view it started when the AFL security goons dragged the young girl away. Her parents complained & the public blamed Goodes for the incident. It had little to do with racism. But of course the narrative sounds much "sexier" if you suggest racism is involved. -

I take it from your comments that you don't believe in freedom of speech and support cancel culture. -
Rating 2021 team Against 1998, 2000 & 2018
Cranky Franky replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
So which players from the 2000 GF team would get into the current team. For mine Ingerson would replace Petty, Neitz for Weid & Farmer for Spargo, Green for Melksham, Yze for ANB & Stynes for Jackson. Febey, Powell, Walsh & Robbo would also be considered. -
Sadly the ABC has gone downhill. They are now only marginally better than the Murdoch rags.
-
The number of plodders that Demonlanders suggest we go and recruit is quiet hilarious.
-
Actually you don't know what your talking about. Firstly he didn't play on a wing in 2018 except for brief periods he played as a permanent fwd. Secondly Goodie has stated ad nauseaum at every presser that McDonald will stay forward & not go anywhere else.
-
So using that principle the lower the grade you play the better you are.
-
Yes a very interesting prospect. Outstanding athlete but not a natural footballer & lacking football nous. Needs a year or so at Casey but once he understands the game he could be special.
-
Have you & Dr D been smoking crack together? Rosman has been solid at Casey & done a couple of brilliant things but is a mile from a senior call up.

Exactly

The MRP is becoming a joke. It is incoherent and inconsistent. It needs to focus on behind the play sniping instead of trying to reinterpret umpiring decisions. The charging of Fritsch last week & now May demonstrate it has lost the plot. In both cases the umpires were on the spot and made the right decision - free against Fritsch no 50m penalty or report and with May it was play on. If the ump is on the spot & has adjudicated unless there are extenuating circumstances the MRP should just F Off.

May charged and fined for striking Buddy?
Cranky Franky replied to McQueen's topic in Melbourne Demons
Well you are a dunce then. Contact is made with the shoulder which is legal. Buddy is oiled up so then logically the bump slides higher. Play on nothing to see just like the umpire called. This smacks of petty payback because Fritsch got off & made them look stupid. We must appeal otherwise it stays on his record then next trivial offence he will cop a week. -

Thought Brayshaw & Fritter both had their worst ever games tonight. That's 2 poor games in a row for Brayshaw.

Meet new MFC President Kate Roffey interview
Cranky Franky replied to Supreme_Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
Lets hope she is one of our better presidents. In my time I've seen a few duds, lots of average plodders and a few decent ones. -
Jeez don't like Harmes do you ? Actually last week he started off a bit rusty & tentative but finished the game pretty well & was one of Casey's better players.
-
Don't you care about consistency ? It seems if you are a high profile player like Ablett or Dangerfield you can get away with it.
-
I did watch closely and your comments have gone from reasonable to silly. He was serviceable & nowhere near our worse ' I'm playing him next week.
-
You are clueless. Ump was right on the spot. Didn't report him or pay 50m penalty. And he played the game out.
