Bassirou Faye

Fencing is for sissies. Jousting. That's a real sport.

Not bad. It’s no canal vaulting though.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yeah, but it's the vibe.

Whaddaya know about lead?

Stop saying coward punch you buffoon! You have NFI

It was a coward punch, the 2nd guy who ran in to try and break it up he turned around and took a swing at his head. That's a coward punch and can easily kill someone.

Melbourne is a very safe city. Crime is present in all cities of the world and Melbourne rates near the top in regards to safety.

I don’t know. I get nervous walking past primary schools.

 

[VinnieB]

This really is an interesting thread. How did it get to youth crime?

Worried the cops might catch you breaching your order?

Watching Faye in the MPNFL div 1 Grand final. Not sure this kid will make it. He's big, but his team mates refuse to kick the ball to him when one out down the line.

 

[Jelly Bean]

If he's playing in the MPNFL, then he is not likely to make it.

And I don't even know what the MPNFL is.

We all know that jousting is high-testosterone fencing.

It's just relatively speaking, when you live in a world where synchronised swimming and equestrian events are sports, a better put down could have been formulated in this instance.

Equestrian is actually quite dangerous. Heaps of injuries and the occasional death.

I thought it was clear once he was boxing some mafs bloke tbh

Mornington Peninsula League.

Dromana smashed his team by 54 points.

Not in dressage!

 

[Kappa]

Considering he's a div 2 suburban footballer/boxer/thug who will never play footy even at VFL level, good time to lock the thread and forget about him.

Not in dressage!

Perth dressage rider trampled to death

A keen horserider was trampled to death by her horse in Perth's southern suburbs after she fell off while practising for a dressage competition.

Horse riding is essentially much more dangerous than playing footy.

You're missing the point about it being a low-testosterone pursuit!

You're missing the point about it being a low-testosterone pursuit!

For the viewer and the horse, it's ghastly.

The whole point of international rookie scholarships is that they are highly speculative. Doesn’t cost anything in terms of list or cap space. Hasn’t worked with Big Roo. Don’t know if any of them have ever worked.

Bugger all have worked but I do still love the concept, especially if it's low risk.

By my count there have been 32 international scholarships. Of those 32, only 4 made it onto an actual rookie list, and only 2 have played a senior AFL game (Kurt Heatherley from NZ played 4 games for Hawthorn from 2016–2017 after getting his first scholarship in 2009, and Hewago Oea from PNG is currently on the Gold Coast list and has played 13 games from 2022–2023 after getting his first scholarship in 2018).

Definitely more misses than hits.

I think it should be considered an investment into the development of the game, even if the success rate is extremely low.

It's worth working on new development pathways all the time and keeping our abilities up when it comes to upskilling players from virtually no footy background.

Have we heard if the we are doubling down on the Faye investment?

I have a particular interest.

Hello Pragmatic Shill

Not sure - seems to have fallen off the radar.

Didn't work out for him with us but the scholarship gave him a chance to get out of a pretty horrible part of the world and set up a new life in AUS, still a success I reckon. Happy for him.
