No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XXXIX

[SavDog23]

Cotchin got off a report that almost definitely should have cost him 1-2 weeks in the Prelim as well.

 

[RJK Tiger]

No "*" next to us, we were already making finals from 2013 to 2015. The AFL didn't need us to win a flag as our fans had already jumped back on. No co-incidence that our free Kick differential started to dry up after 2015.

BTW never read past your 1st paragraph. I never do.

Making Finals and winning them are 2 very different things. Ask Essendon.

There was a reason there was a board challenge in 2016. Stop re-imagining history. The Finals of 13-15 were epic failures & Dimma & Benny were saved by Balmey coming on board and supporting them publicly. People need to stop re-imagining history

 

[RJK Tiger]

im gussing he called him a bunch of sticks

 

[RJK Tiger]

He hit Shiels head and caused him to leave the game with a concussion. That is high impact/contact. If it was round 12, he would have 100% been suspended. Baker just got 1 week for less

Why the MRP got it wrong on Trent Cotchin

While Fairfax Media understands there was a robust discussion, ultimately the match review panel failed in its duty this week.

Did Finlayson call the player Sticks Kernahan?

 

[Masotiger]

What is this country coming to?? Honestly??

Dont want to repeat the shit that was being said when I was playing suburban football.

We just gave it back twice as hard. Harden up campaigners!

 

[Area51]

People saying the AFL are riding Carlton to a flag need to look at the ladder. Who is on top? Do you honestly think the AFL would prefer Salray cap cheating Carlton to win the flag over the Giants ? It's the Giants who they would most be happy to win it

There are a heap of unmonetised Carlton supporters that will get on the bandwagon and stay for years if the blues win a flag. That's massive recurring revenue for the AFL with high degree of certainty. The Giants can wait, incremental revenue is much less certain but I do think they'll be the next to rocket up the free kick ladder.

Stop talking shit f*****!

 

[Coach_Required]

Stop talking s*t f****!

Makes it up as he goes along, some could argue that it was actually Astbury who knocked Shiels head prior to the Cotchin incident. However, people like to conveniently forget this because Cotchin was an easier target.

****in oath mate, and if u got called that u just give it back twice as bad and move on

 

[NaturalDisaster]

I can see both sides.

On one hand, there is just really no need for it, especially in modern society where gays etc still face discrimination and in a sport where gay players struggle to come out in fear of how their teammates might react (but also probably part because they don't want the media focussing on it).

On the other hand, a slur said in the heat of the momment, and he came out and apologised right after. Personally I wish they would just accept the apology and move on. If he does it again, sure ban and throw the book at him, but I think we can be more forgiving over a one time thing imo.

Pretty childish slur to be using either way as a professional footballer. I grew out of that shit when I was 15. Become more creative in your sledges or stfu

But cocaine in your system?
No problem. Shhhh!

Why would it be so hard for the AFL to just defer all suspensions until Round 1/Opening Round of the next season?

Yep, as Ricky Gervais put it so perfectly... "people evolved to be scared of words"

We now live in a world full of pathetic woke garbage. Cue the outrage!

 

[AstuteTiger]

Friend?

That'll do Finlayson has to go with this line of defence Friends forever

Words have meaning though.

If you had a disabled kid, would you like someone using the R word around them? TO them? I don't think so.

Its not being scared of words, it's not wanting them used when the meaning of those words and the harm they can cause to others is well known by the people using them...

Given the CFL and their crackdown , what did Tex get ?

*in oath mate, and if u got called that u just give it back twice as bad and move on

This is 100% spot on. We just said shit back, laughed and moved on their was none of this reporting stuff like nowadays.
Problem is the AFL went to political and it snowballed from there.
