Oh paalease!! We all hate politicians but this is just oh sooooooo dramatic and activist like. OUTRAGEOUSLY OUTRAGEOUS

It takes a special kind of campaigner to tell his sister that she's an abomination and she's going to hell, because she's attracted to women. And to be best mates with George Pell on top of that.

hes actually very supportive of his sister, where did you get that accusation from?

Agreed - for all of Tony's faults (and I'm no fan of his) - his sister has long acknowledged he is no misogynist or homophobe. His beliefs about marriage just differ from hers.

I remember duck doing a teary interview with Andrew Denton and he said he wanted to retire from public life and never be in the public eye again. it is mind boggling that channel seven employs a woman beater and a bloke who had to hand back (maybe) his Brownlow medal.

Ha. He often said in interviews when he was playing that he was really just a basic guy who prefers the quiet country life, and would go back to Wagga when he retired. I called bullsh1t at the time, because I knew he was full of it.

Not a role model like Gary Ablett Snr then?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Should probably point out that it's a parody, and not Gary Snr. It's sucked a few in.

 

[tenderwarrior]

I always wondered who it was originally about!

Ryan Gosling was the first one I saw.

 

[scottishfiction]

it's about Flying Lotus, the shitty overrated 'dance' producer, and it started on 4chan. which tells you how funny it ****ing isn't.

Ha! Me included. I couldn't work out why he had so much hair.

Me too. My boss has sent it to about 59 blokes. He’ll be devo now he has to face the awful truth lol

 

[Atomboy]

why? people on tv are meant to be honest and clean?

5 years ago this country had a PM whose favourite hobbies were taunting and assaulting women and homosexuals.

I don’t recall Carey running for office ?!

Imagine if they did that now with a Ben Cousins parody ... Would be outrage.

No need, Ben Cousins is a parody of Ben Cousins

You don't air dirty laundry in public.

Have a read about what he used to do in his uni days.

So what, that was 40 years ago FFS you sanctimonious campaigner.

I mean, I don't like Tony, not a fan of people who drive their political ideology from a religious base but I am not going to hang him on stupid shit he did when he was in his early 20s, when that was 40 years ago.

Nice melt.

We're talking about suitability as a football commentator here. Carey's bad acts were undoubtedly worse in the broader sense, but does that mean a lifetime of disqualification from employment for which he is well qualified? No redemption available, is that it? Ban him forever because of what he did 12 and more years ago, for which he was punished? I'm pretty sure that's not how the justice system works.

Watson only "harmed himself" because in the end they didn't get away with it. What they tried to do was cheat the rest of the competition.

Anyway, I'm all for redemption, so even though his offence was directly against AFL football, I'm not against him being given a go now that he did do his time.

But jeez, he is a sh*t commentator. He shouldn't have the job on that basis alone.

tbf as great a footballer as Carey was he is a big of a ****ing airhead of commentator.

Offers absolutely **** all on the tv

I find with ex players that their commentary tends to get worse the longer they're retired. Straight out of the game they can offer insights into the game that you can't get unless you were in the inner sanctum but as time passes they just become boorish.

That’s because most of them are inherently lazy and entitled - I deserve this job because I was a good player.

The proper professional commentators had to work hard to get where they are, so they have the work ethic to keep up on their knowledge, research etc. and then they get a bit senile, like poor old Bruce.

"Have a look at these key forwards these days - they haven't got a patch on me, The King!"

Wayne Carey actually says some insightful stuff tbh and quite often is willing to criticise game plans and individual players. every other prick like James Brayshaw acts like every act is a symptom of winning a Brownlow.

Brayshaw ain't a commontator, he's a cheerleader.

Bruce/BT/Darce/Lingy are worse....

In fact, they are all terrible.....

Sorry, this is a fact not a rumour....
