legit attempt to mark. I think (grudgingly), play on... what's your decision?

When he realises he can't mark, he turns his body, at that point it is not a marking contest, more a charge. We have all played footy, invariably, accidental elbows are a myth, so too in this instance.

I disagree with Noel regarding Chol being lazy. It’s his demeanor, which I love, like others he has become one of my faves this year.

I however did not take his comment as racist until you brought it up. I had no idea that calling someone with dark skin lazy was racist. Can we no longer call anybody racist or only people with white skin racist? Which in fact would be racism in itself.

Thought I’d better check because my teenage son is lazy as, just want to check if I’m still allowed to call him lazy, or is it only dependent on his skin colour?

You're viewing this in reference to one comment, when it's actually a form line. One noticed by more than just SYL. Yet everyone jumps on his back like he's just an evil moderator overlord (looking at you hawkhamlet). He is only saying what others have picked up on too.

 

[Sixpence]

Evil moderator overlord ??? Give it a rest. No one is saying that.

No one? hawkhamlet literally just called him "obnoxious and corrupt and vile".

With respect - no he didn’t. The angle from behind shows Kolo reaching to mark the ball the entire time until his elbow hits Mitch’s head.

His team mate was kicking the ball to him and he clearly tried to mark it.

He’s got nothing to worry about.

As Dunstall said during the telecast, it was a completely fair contest.

Just looking at it more closely, The above looks pretty bad but ....





I found the angle you are referring to now... recon he's alright. The ball actually deflects past his hands before they make contact.

Looks like he arrived late and chose to crush his head with his elbow, but hey Geelong so play on no issue with attacking the head when it’s a hawks player

I can't believe Lewis didn't receive a free kick

Hard Watch. As Rob McCartney said it’s still a development year but transitioning toward performance. 8/8 after starting 0-5 with as many wins as last year easily franks that. Good reality check our board got way ahead of ourselves. Understandable as that is given long time of being poor. Older stronger bodies less mistakes knew the ground to me were the main differences. They don’t have much to look forward to we will have fun with them soon and be too watchable to play at that Pet Sematary ever again.

Why was Brocky mentioned as a flight risk from the start but DGB wasn't?

I've already been told to forget indigenous culture exists. So thats what I'm going to do.

That Wizard intercept in the second was some serious black magic voodoo shit

Reckon the hit was deliberate too- if you slow it down he turned at the last minute and just elbowed the head but he hid it well… Scats get away with everything so won’t even be looked at

 

[hawk for 37]

What drag all this racism talk on the autopsy thread is. Just make it stop..

 

[Gut Runner]

Maybe it's just a suspicion but I thought a few players looked a little gassed in the 1stQ. Was watching Mass chasing someone and he looked puffed. Hope a 7 day break will have us firing in Tassie. Next 4 are winable. 8 day break after next week then full week breaks between games.

On SM-A546E using BigFooty.com mobile app

Agree - Even Weddle looked slow which is just so weird

 

[Gut Runner]

You can tell most of us got way ahead of ourselves judging by the Autopsy carnage.

I'm guilty too, prior to the game I was looking on the ladder predictor to see if we could score an MCG preliminary final! - I have taken the loss very badly.

Hurts more that the reality check came from the Cats. Especially getting beaten in the middle where we should have had them...

Don’t know whether you’re deliberately running the gauntlet or not, but kudos to you sir.

It’s interesting I’ve had several PM’s backing up my comments and assuring me that my comments aren’t racist yet NOT ONE single message telling me to pull my head in or even be careful what you post as they may be construed as racist

If I had form for racist comments then were are all the PMs or even open board posters telling me to pull my head in ??

I’m not commenting on this any further, again if anyone has an issue with my posts PM me directly and state your case

I’m going to stick to commenting on the game not skin colour or pontificate/ speculate on Denver possibly having ADD or some other ridiculous medical condition. When racism and mental health keep getting brought into the conversation, you know what time it is

You've had posts deleted and you've had your posts highlighted back to you multiple times over the journey because you seem to always hold your most pointed criticism for a particular kind of player, declaring that they don’t try, won’t try, can’t commit, won’t commit….

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I love how you constantly talk down to people from behind your computer, like everything you say is something we should all feel privileged to read.

Why is it dumb? How do you know where the boundaries are if people don’t discuss what about scenarios in any logical thought process?

Get down off your high horse you might offend someone.

If I need to explain to you the negative connotations of “laziness” towards those of darker skin and the systemic racist themes(not as smart, not as driven, not as brave, etc) that runs alongside these kind of cheap insults then we’ll be here for a long time.

So yeah, saying “my son is lazy, does that make me racist” is one of the dumbest things I’ve read on here. Kudos.

Brockman was a young father with family ties in his home state on the other side of the country. He wanted to play for West Coast in his draft year and was surprised we took him before the Eagles had a live pick.

Whether he was indigenous, Anglo-Saxon, Irish Catholic, Martian is irrelevant.

Deep down he wanted to go home. End of story

No he didn’t

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Mate you need to stop white knighting and accusing people of racism. You did this a few weeks back and got called out for it then deleted the posts...

Correct.

Stray the line into casual racism, I’ll call it out and any apologists will have their posts deleted.

anyone know why we wore the heritage jumper yesterday?

Take it to the autopsy thread.

 

[peetoo]

Can Sam also tell us who the top teams are?

haha was aware only afterwards, awks...

 

[earthworms]

only a loss to geelong could cause this much chaos in an autopsy thread

Needs a day or two haha

 

[user33]

Was anyone else at the game surprised by how poor the atmosphere was?

The flashing lights and shitty loud music felt very artificial.
