2021 Non-Crows AFL Discussion Part 1: we can have lots of fun!

[Carmo]

Did anyone see on twitter how Collingwood got a 16.5 million dollar grant? Yeah, it came under the title of some regional development thing. It was a closed non competitive bid too. Was for womens sport research I think.

Good grief, what a load of cods wallop.

Haven't heard that saying for years

Think you need some serious therapy but to do that you need to acknowledge you have issues.

Now back to the thread, anything happening in the AFL.

oh c’mon, they’re coloured crayons and everything. Not just the learning to write blue ones!

surely you can’t expect more than that for such uneducated drivel

 

[baldandbroke]

sorry? Walk into church... on what basis do you make that call

No need to apologise. Bit late for the holiest of holy days ... sorry is that Jewish reference off topic?

I saw this dog act by a NFL High School player during a game, got me thinking if it happened in the AFL, how many weeks?

A multi year suspension? Life ban?

High school footballer charged over 'disgusting' on-field act

Defensive lineman Emmanuel Duron was charged with assault after attacking the referee who had ejected him from the game moments earlier.

That’s a high school kid?

 

[GROTTO]

That’s a high school kid?

Only in America.

When you have 300 million people, the outliers in physical development can be quite impressive. Why you get over over a hundred 6'5" blokes who can run 40 yards in 4.5 seconds in the NFL.

It has more to do with genetics.

Otherwise you would have NFL players from China and India.

There's plenty of those in those particular countries too, and probably a number of them don't get to go to school or have the same opportunity kids in the states do.

I should also add the other crucial components is access to quality nutrition and training opportunities.

Not to mention also genetic mixing to produce a superior genetic individual.

It's enough to shiver your timbers

You do realise that story is like 10 years old?

Secondly, only in the US, was the obvious reference to their size as a "child", nothing to do with assaulting umpires.

How many high school kids have massive tattoos on their arms though?

GROTTO probably nailed that answer

Only in America.

Quality nutrition? In the U.S.A.? Doubtful.

He got that size from multiple generations of Sunday dinners at McDonald’s.
