Coach Alastair Clarkson IV - HFC Racism Investigation Discussion

Remove this Banner Ad

I long to be one of those insane people on Twitter, Facebook or the Main Board who have heard bits and pieces and just merge it all together, from either Facebook comments, or something someone told them at work.

‘No, Clarkson told Cyril Rioli’s girlfriend to get an abortion, but Jeff Kennett said she would have to change her jeans first. And the player who clarkson’s house they went to to seperate, wasn’t aboriginal, it was Max Bailey. And Clarkson leaked the report himself as he wanted to coach the mighty blues and not that rabble. Plus, Rioli’s missus didn’t have the abortion, as the kid plays juniors with my brothers stepkid. And they just beat St John’s by 5 goals on the weekend, with my bros step kid kicking 6. And they reckon scouts from the mighty blues are coming to watch my brothers stepkid as they reckon he is the best junior they have ever seen. That’s what my brother told me’.

No here's a man with a journalism degree!

I’ve seen a few in here say the initial investigation didn’t cover any of Kennett’s tenure. From what I understand it was 2010-2015, so that doesn’t stack up as he was still there in 2010-11?
It covers a limited period of Kennett's tenure. probably enough so he can say wtte of "It covered my tenure too, shut up!" to anyone who says he rigged the investigation.
 
That’s always the issue with socialism, people, self interest always fooks it up.
That's not necessarily true. its an issue with socilaism as we practise it in p[redominantly market economies and systems. And that's pretty much all we've had for the last 5000 years. Or since someone decided paying standing armies in coin was a good idea.

I saw your brother's stepkid play that game. He didn't get a touch.

This is true. Without wanting to bore everyone, in "The Communist Manifesto" Marx actually envisioned communism as being a natural evolution of society, which would need first to pass through inevitable phases of feudalism and capitalism. Lenin, Mao and the other Communist founders chose to conveniently ignore this, and invariably jumped straight from feudalism to communism. Now I'm not a namby pamby tree hugging communist, but the communist failures of the 20th century actually bore very little resemblance to Marx's theoretical vision.

Which I'm sure is somehow relevant to the Hawthorn racism investigation, but I'm not quite sure how we got here.

This board has awesome and informative digressions.

So your brother let his stepkid infect two footy sides worth of kids with gastro!!!
Survival of the fittest. I’m sick of all this woke ‘don’t infect other people with your sickness’ generation. In my day, I used to get sick people to cough in my mouth the night before a big game. the game (and society) has gone soft.

Comes across as a “real socialism hasn’t been tried yet” argument and ahistorical.

What’s the process if the accusers pursue proceedings through human rights commission? Will that be directed at clarko or the hawks? Unsure where that leaves Clarkson in terms of coaching future if he’s caught up in further action?

A bitter Karl wrote the communist manifesto, a drunkard in London after failing as a journo.
 
Not the “real socialism hasn’t been tried yet” argument again. It is such a weak argument some (not necessarily intentionally) western leftists use to justify a philosophy (socialism) that has directly influenced 100+ million deaths in less than a century and continues to kill by the droves.
Tiberius’ post was in no way an argument, just an observation, and didn’t require an argumentative reply.

He was advocating a ahistorical observation/position, and while perhaps unintentional, it was an argument.

Yeah, I'm not sure that was exactly the argument I was trying to make, but I'm sorry if my poor wording triggered you in some way. Just out of interest, what's the capitalist death toll?

fair enough. Good to see people taking action when they believe in something.
