MFC player racially abused on social media - club statement
The way to stop this is for social media platforms make people identify themselves when they join up. As long as people can post stuff anonymously it encourages scumbags to troll & post abusive material.

Taylor Walker - sanction for racism
It actually proves that humans can do stupid things.

Yes 50 words of nonsense is much better than 500 words of nonsense.

With that attitude its a good job you are not sitting as a judge in the NT juvenile courts. The rate of incarceration with your attitude would be close to 100% with a large number of Indigenous people included.

Of course all the enslaving and colonising and rape and pillage was done by Europeans except for the Incas, Aztecs, Plains Indians, Japanese, Mongols, Maoris, Persians, Egyptians, Zulus, Chinese Babylonians, Arabs, Turks & a few others. You are a historical nincompoop- go back to school.

Quiet right. I think you should set up an Inquisition and investigate anyone who is not actively anti racist and take them to task. Maybe you shouldn't get a job or a passport unless you have demonstrated your anti racist history.

Try & keep it to 50 words. Its pretty incoherent and are you maybe trying to impress people by quoting a lot of biographies ? And why are you only concerned with anti black racism ? Isn't all racism a problem ?

Well there is quiet a difference between those calling for an appropriate penalty for his comments and the lynch mob calling for blood and wanting to destroy Walker. There are plenty of the latter on Demonland.

There will always be a minority that does the wrong thing. Just because we outlaw domestic violence & tell everyone to stop doing it doesn't mean it will go away completely.

Gawn on RSN (27/7/21)
Bringing in fresh faces is the obvious thing to do but Goody is extremely stubborn & I reckon he will pretty much stick fat with the current 22.

THE LAST HURRAH - Demon Literature
Checker Hughes & Norm Smith - that is one of the all time great photos of our game.

Toby Bedford
I really like Lockhart but on Saturday his disposal was terrible. Missed his targets regularly and on top of that I counted 3 OOTF. He will not make it unless he drastically improves his kicking.

Toby Bedford
Totally agree - must have been written by his mum or manager. I have watched Toby closely for a while & agree he has a lot of talent he lacks consistency & goes missing for long periods. Regularly getting 12 or 13 touches at VFL level is not going to get him promoted & to suggest he replace Viney is delusional.

You didn't answer the question.

2021 Fwd Line v 1988 & 2000
So you take Reiwoldt & Lynch out of the Tigers flag sides or Kennedy & Darling from WC & it makes no difference ?

2021 Fwd Line v 1988 & 2000
I have thought for a while that our "small" forwards are our achilles heel. We have options re our big key forwards but with the exception of Picket (sometimes) & Fritsch the cupboard is bare. Compare our other 4 fwds this year with the 4 fwds from our 88 & 2000 Grand Final sides. 2021 - Fritsch, Picket, Jordon, Neal Bullen 1988 - Lyon, Flintoff, Williams, R Jackson 2000 - Robertson, Green, Powell, Farmer

Gary Moorcroft
Why would u post this rubbish ? He did nothing for us except take up space. Selfish player with not much ability.

CASEY DEMONS: Rd 11 vs Essendon
Agree about Bedford- he can be electric at times but goes missing for long periods. Needs 2-4 consecutive good games.
-
Nathan Jones
Was never quick & after his leg/foot injuries slowed him down more. Definitely one of the slowest on our list.

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

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
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.
