If you don't think the statement is incoherent you should go back & do primary school English grammar.

Given the disruptions to the backline last week I reckon they both did ok.

The statement is somewhat incoherent. It could be very racist or not. Unless you have the full context ie what was said before & after its impossible to judge.

The issue you continually ignore is that powerful organisations like Clubs & the AFL want to manage media stories & only ever want positive stories. As long as journos tell the truth its fine by me. If Collingwood supporters had been better informed about what was happening at their Club instead of what Eddie McGuire had wanted them to hear then the Club may not have imploded when it did.

Can't believe that you are actually supporting a grub like Bevo after his despicable comments including about Morris being a Melbourne "stooge". Ironically even Bevo disagrees with you because he issued an apology. You are also forgetting Bevo has form - he attacked Kane Cornes & others for their comments last year & famously threatened Damian Barrett in 2015.

Where's the left bingo card with White privilege Affirmative Action Glass ceiling Reflect on your comments Metrics Diversity Gender Imbalance Etc etc. If you start with right wing nutters you end up with Hitler & if you start with lefty or progressive nutters you end up with Pol Pot. Not much difference really. Good to see Demonland is an Equal Opportunity Forum.

And there are also several serial windbags whose fantasy was participating in the Spanish Inquisition or burning witches in the middle ages. 🧙‍♀️

Exactly - The comments about Meghan are unremarkable. The other one is unclear. It could be racist or it could be harmless and unless you hear the full conversation its hard to judge. The usual Demonland lynch mob is as usual out for blood. As soon as "male privilege" appears be very wary.

Jeez mate you need to get out more. I've heard both audios & there is nothing said that you wouldn't hear from groups of men or women in a bar. There is salty language if u are easily offended but its arguably not misogynistic or racist.

I'm surprised that neither WC nor the AFL have clearly stated that he has been actually vaccinated. He could still get around the AFL protocols by getting an exemption for medical reasons.

Not sure what you mean by this "normal state ranks". He came through like everyone else - junior rep teams, district cricket, Shield cricket then played for Australia.

Agree 100%. Compounded by missing maybe 60 odd games injured. Games where he could have been at Casey or in the firsts honing his craft. I am yet to be convinced that his body can take it without breaking down. I wish him all the best.

Hibberd was very good yesterday. If he continues like that he will hold his spot. Has a touch of aggro & desperation that we all love.

Bowey was poor today, particularly his disposal by foot. I thought Rivers was poor as well.

Agree - a great mark

Just trying to keep things in perspective. The Board under Bartlett including Kate R was pretty good but some of the fawning has been over the top. Maybe its understandable in a Flag year.

Well that would have depended on how Goodwin went in 2021. It was the make or break year for him. He had been coach for 4 year with 1 successful year & 3 failed years. Failure in 2021 & obviously the knives would have been out.

Jeez guys lets keep this in perspective. A cardboard cut out would have made a successful Prez this year. Kate is very lucky with her timing. She sounds like an intelligent, reasonable person & I hope she goes down as one of our best ever but up to now everything has been easy. Lets give it a few years before we judge.

No.

Think its more about games. Tom Hafey & Allan Jeans reckoned as a rule players had to play 85 games before they peaked.

Watts was hardly a failure. Would have played 200 games if not for breaking his leg. He was a lot better than some other no 1 picks. He & Nic Nat were universally predicted to go 1 & 2 that year.

Just like to point out double standards. Hilarious to make Italians the punchline but if it was Sudanese, Indigenous or maybe gay or transgender the lynch mob would have been out. Where is Flaubert and his long winded history lesson or bleeding heart Dieter when you need them ?

Racist comment. Deserves to be cancelled & a 5 year ban.

Pull the other one. He went to the Cats because they went within a whisker of a flag in 2020 while we struggled. He figured he would have a better chance of winning a flag with them.

I'm still a annoyed we recruited him. We could have selected Dylan Grimes who Richmond grabbed with the next pick. Dean Bailey seemed frustrated that we missed out on Luke Ball so McDonald was presented as a "gun" recruit instead of the plodder that he really was.
