I used to teach primary school kids and even they (mostly) had the emotional maturity to back off somebody when it became clear they were seriously hurting them. They didn't need polls, stats, arguments about suppression of their right to tease... It's not complex, it's just simple decency.

Dimma nailed it, calling it "bullying at best, racism at worst". Just a waste of time and energy defending it.

Yeah I'm sure those guys would stand with you against Adam :$

And so he should. He's taken the club from strength to strength.

I doubt even Essendon would be shady enough to supplement up a minor

Maybe they can relocate to Fitzroy

Fairly insane piece. I guess illustrative of the danger of having heroes as an adult. Especially when the heroes you choose are guys good at sport.

If Ryder genuinely feels that Essendon breached their duty of care, and risked his and his family's health, the moral thing to do would be to let him go. Even through a disadvantageous trade. Forcing him to stay against his will in those circumstances would not be right.

oh well, almost thought there'd be a contest tonight

I think Collingwood beat you by a few years

[something something shoving it down our throats]

Can't believe that people seriously believe the AFL retained an actor to pose as a player's mother on radio. Dumbest conspiracy theory ever.

I think it's pretty obvious that Dank administered TB4 so it makes sense for them to go down this road.

Not sure that's true. Buckley said "If my players were being injected, I would know about that. And I would want to know what was in the syringe."

Your meltdown on this thread makes me think you actually care pretty deeply

That last Swan goal was so good

I'm gonna audition for this. Watch me dance fellas.

Hope somebody's keeping watch over the Essendon board. We could see some Heaven's Gate action if he's sacked.

Yeah cheers Tania. One day before their first game. Keeping the issue front and centre.

The first world war was the most pointless slaughter in human history. You think it's dishonourable more Australian kids weren't fed into it?

I wouldn't like to be paying a million bucks to a player who stuffed up so badly he got a one year suspension. I certainly wouldn't be applauding that player.

I still have more pure footy hate for Carlton, but I recognise that Essendon are the shittier organisation. No redeeming qualities at all really.

He's not permanently changing his name for attention you mouth-breathers

Essendon will never move on from 2013 if they bring him back

How could you justify bringing Hird back full stop?

They sound like shit blokes

My problem with Vics v Allies was that it was one side that people cared about against some made up entity nobody gave a shit about. It was totally unequal. At least this way there's no pretence that the game matters. It's function is pure exhibition. I like that. And having the captains pick...

This is longform, narrative journalism. It has a different purpose and focus than the kind of muck raking, news breaking stuff done by Caro etc. Doesn't make much sense to compare them imo.

Some of you should lighten up a little, this is a fun idea. Better than Vics vs Allies imo. Can't wait to see who the captains pick.

Personally, I'd walk out on any club not based in Sydney or Melbourne. Life's short, why spend it somewhere you don't want to be?
