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.

Oh God help us a Dieter & Flaubert love in.

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.

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.

Checker Hughes & Norm Smith - that is one of the all time great photos of our game.

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.

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.

So you take Reiwoldt & Lynch out of the Tigers flag sides or Kennedy & Darling from WC & it makes no difference ?

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

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

There are no actual reports of us looking at Maynard. It was a thought bubble by J Gadson without any actual evidence which took on a life of its own.

Agree he is fumbly & not as clean as he used to be. A long way from his best of a few years ago but still handy & worth another year.

Agree about Bedford- he can be electric at times but goes missing for long periods. Needs 2-4 consecutive good games.

Was never quick & after his leg/foot injuries slowed him down more. Definitely one of the slowest on our list.

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.

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.
