I'm of the general belief that Mason Cox is an insufferable knob but I'm pretty surprised to see some calling for him to be punished for carrying on like a knob before the GWS game.

The league should absolutely take the opportunity to say 'uh, nobody do this again' but I really can't reach the same levels of outrage some have.

Minimum fine is plenty.

He didn’t touch the ball in the first half. Couldn’t back up his pre game shenanigans. Fine him for being a douche.

A fine and a suspended two week sentence, the same as that given the other worthless idiot in Clarko.

Not happening, and if you read the article & watch the full clip you'll understand why. Channel 7 made a mountain out of nothing.

 
"Should be sacked" is an overused term in the age of social media warriors. But I've never gotten such a "this guy should not have this job" vibe from reading an article like I did reading Mark Robinson's piece on Kevin Sheedy.

Several indigenous players file lawsuits against former AFL players and coaches and Robinson's first response as News Corp's chief football writer is to dismiss their experiences and then proceed to not only defend Sheedy but actually glorify Sheedy.

Robinson's logic is that doing wrong to the 100th man is OK if you've done right by the 99 others. It's such an ignorant position to view it from, and one that could only be formed from privilege.

At the end of the day we don't know the truth in the case of Sheedy & the Krakouer brothers, but that's why cool journalist heads need to prevail so the facts can be reported and the case can unfold as it is.

Unfortunately Robinson is no such cool head. He's the opposite. He's a hot-head, an Essendon supporter and a privileged white male using his position of power to influence the narrative based on his preferences.

He's always been a dumb-arse, but mumbling and saying stupid shit on TV while probably drunk is, at worst, annoying & unprofessional, at best it can be amusing. This feels more nefarious and says a lot about him IMO.

Sheeds has done more for indigenous people than anyone else from the top level , he loves them . Some might be short of cash .
Also he hanged Clarko , Burt and Fagan
Doesn't matter if he loves indigenous players if he's also mistreated some.

You've also missed the point. Robinson has called out racism in the past (ie stood up for Goodes), but your morality can't be exchangeable based on your biases. So now that a Bombers legend has been accused of racism he puts away the pitchfork.

Remember it's accused with no proof . You should know i have no love for Slobbo

I know it's accused with no proof. I said this:

"At the end of the day we don't know the truth in the case of Sheedy & the Krakouer brothers, but that's why cool journalist heads need to prevail so the facts can be reported and the case can unfold as it is."

You need to tell Robinson that because it seems he's the one who's made his mind up and his using his position to push it.

You have identified the afl media good bloke process before, racial issues, domestic violence, drugs, alcohol.
They start the rehabilitation for the alleged perpetrators early on. He is "one of us"
 
Unsure if I can post this year since another user has posted in this thread but


News on Gogglebox Flog
Taking into account the new footage he shouldn't have been made to apologise at all. Totally blown out of proportion by Channel 7 looking for some controversy. They should concentrate on getting better commentators.

I’m not a fan of Mason Cox and Collingwood. I saw the new footage. The please explain was justified

I can't stand Cox , but this is a beat up by 7 as you say
 
Updated injury list for all teams. Jeremy Howe is a chance to return for Collingwood


Medical room: The full AFL injury list, R1
 
My thoughts on champion data are well known , tonight on Sportsday SEN Daniel Hoyne rated the sides with the best ball movement and likely to be in the flag window , has St Scum on top , mentions 7 other teams , but not us. Hope we prove this poindexter wrong
No point even regurgitating their nonsense bedders.
 
One to watch throughout the year, but does Geelong have a salary cap anymore though? 🤔
They surely will have some retirements this year. But yeah, they say its an even playing field but its clearly not. Players ask for overs to go North but will settle for evens if it means staying in the same state.
