Interested have Aussies found they have been able to use Leaguesafe for leagues when not playing with randoms. It says you can't use outside of US/Canada but not sure how easy that is to work-around? Outside of that is there a solution other than the honour system/trusting the commissioner for...

A big part of board life is covering your ass. I think we can all imagine Caro or a similar journo having a crack saying there was a successful coach made GF's with two teams etc and they didn't even speak to him. Especially if a new inexperienced coach underperformed, that would be easy...

I had a suspicion she'd come back with ass surgery with a new pair of bolt-ons or some other cosmetic procedure. A nice way to gather some sympathy while also explaining an absence. Maybe someone who follows her instagram can tell me if I'm right...

Anyone seen whether it would be a swap of home games or this would be their home game and we'd still get them at the SCG for the next match-up?

Did you see his last game 60pts, 38pt second half and 23pt last quarter, I’ve never been a fan or hater, had no opinion, but that was one of the greatest “will to win” victories to get over the line I’ve ever seen in any sport. How someone goes out like that and can be accused of doing wrong by...

Doings maths Norf style... it's tricky when you get past 22 and you've run out of fingers and toes.

You've shown us ample evidence of your "collection of s**t" no more required.

So you agree you are charmed. Thanks!

On average you’ll live ten years longer than an indigenous person just because of the race you were born into. Sounds charmed to me... On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

So let’s all be clear here. You think Tippett was an elite KPF? State it loudly and clearly for the record please. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Good point. You only get one and they are precious. Just imagine if you were told yours was going to be on avg ten years shorter than everyone else just because of your race... But I guess that’s just victimology right? On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

This is laughable... Taking people of aboriginal heritage away from their families and communities in order to make them white clearly destroys their culture. As for those in communities, progressively there will be more mixed race children who will be removed until the population is diluted...

You can’t be serious?? “everything necessary [must be done] to convert the half-caste into a white citizen” NT Chief Protector of Aborigines Dr Cecil Cook On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

You really think it was racism at the footy that was the issue Goodes was taking a stand against? Nothing to do with broader racism across society? Or has that stopped too?

I've pointed it out to you before but I'll try it again. Read slowly it might sink in. IT WASN"T HIS DOCO. He didn't make it, he gave no interview for the making of it and had nothing to do with funding it.

With the last 2 FOTY winners foaming and doing their best to win the next one. It got me thinking, #mofra what do you think the plural is. Is it Flogs of the Year like Governors General or is Flog of the Years? May as well debate the small issues here, these gibberers clearly can't comprehend...

I heard him say something similar but I don't think he actually rejected the term indigenous footballer - he just rejected the "magic" stereotype that the silky skills and natural instincts were inherent rather than a product of hard work. He wrote a piece for the age in 2010 which I think put...

WTF does any of that have to do with Goodes standing up for his people. He has no right because things are worse in parts of South America? Doesn’t the fact that he’s made it and has coin and celebrity but stands up for his people make him MORE of a hero. He could have sat back and said “my...

Mother taken from her family at a young age never saw them again, old man left, domestic violence from his stepfather. Totally spoon fed [emoji849] Now stop this campaign for back to back FOTY and post something that makes sense. Or better yet give it a rest altogether.

Indigenous Australians have a shorter life expectancy than non-Indigenous Australians and are at least twice as likely to rate their health as fair or poor. Compared with non-Indigenous Australians, Indigenous Australians are also: 2.9 times as likely to have long-term ear or hearing problems...

Life expectancy ten years below the avg, ridiculously high rates of poverty, disease and incarceration are all just symbolism? I bet our indigenous community wake every day thinking “thank f@ck I don’t face any tangible issues today!” Gee life is good on the comfy white high horse isn’t it...

Yeah there was no fallout from that at all... “At the 1995 Anzac Day drawn match between Essendon and Collingwood, in front of 95,000, Damian Monkhorst racially abused Michael Long. Much media, obligatory mediation and an official handshake between the players but Long not happy with the...

Wow. Just wow. This thread has officially jumped the shark.

So you agree it’s racial then. Thanks On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Sure. But any sane person would ask why did they think he was a tool? The booing was unlike anything anyone else in the AFL experienced. So what was so objectionable? I challenge you to show me what made Goodes so much more unlikable than in other player in the last 20 Years other than the...

How did he benefit from the dark past? Having his mother taken away from her family and therefore losing touch with his family history? Or maybe the racism he endured throughout his life? He excelled in spite of this but he definitely suffered due to Australia’s dark past. Surely you can’t...
