Player Watch Darcy Moore

[Black_White]

AFL players are allowed to wear their own non club sponsored footwear.
Was negotiated by the AFLPA years ago.

 

[sr36]

What should we wear? Home made footy boots?

I went environmentally conscious and fashioned mine out of used plastic bags. Every bit as good as the big brands.

 

[Kappa]

Hopefully you live your life by the same code.
Or do you just save it for the internet?

If they were exploited indigenous workers, then you’d care ?

Whatever, I just find it funny when woke people show they actually don’t really care about exploited people. It’s all a public act

You really just love extremes.

Moore is outspoken on some issues thus it's outrageous he wears Adidas ...

He's studying International Relations, so I'd suggest it's not just an act for him.

Who knows what he may be planning to do with that after he finishes footy... perhaps be in a position to try & make a real difference?

He does need to wear footy boots & other mass produced gear for his current job.

There goes the word 'woke again.

It would be interesting if some people went through the whole house and checked where things were made, how many would be from countries where their is fair pay.

I think Ivory towers should be banned.

We’re all guilty of using products that are a result of “questionable” employment conditions I’d say in everyday life. If we all went off grid and drank our piss like Bear Grylls we can only then have a clean conscience

Agree .

I find it amusing when people use that word as an insult. Darcy cares. Darcy speaks out. Now let's bag him because he wears Adidas boots

I try very hard to buy Australian,. Foods almost always, clothing, shoes (USA/OZ), garden tools, small electrical items all almost impossible to get made here or in fair pay countries.

Did buy a new mattress last week Made in Australia.

Kappa's point is ridiculous.

It's essentially:

Darcy is a hypocrite because he talks about social justice but wears Adidas.

If you take the same logic and flip the subject to someone who carries on about woke being the devil.

XXXXX is a hypocrite because he argues against social justice issues, but doesn't own a single slave.

What are you wearing?

 

[Pistol Night]

What are you wearing?

This would have to be the least creepiest thats ever been asked to someone online

 

[Obese Arachnid]

What are you wearing?

You're quoting Kappa but I know you're thinking about me.

 

[jmac70]

You're quoting Kappa but I know you're talking about me.

I hope that singlet is organic.

Darcy had an average to poor 2024 season. I hope to see a big lift in performance this coming year.

His early part of the year was on occasions terrible
He regained confidence later in the year and performed well
He started to go for and hold his marks later in year also
We need him back to 22/23 form as he’s a real key as the only class key defender we have

I bet you it smells organic.

I wonder if the lack of Murphy and struggling backline meant he had to do the 1 % stuff especially because our mids were beaten a lot. He did finish top 10 in Copeland and overall 1st in comp for 1 %ers so season was not a write off but he was down in contested marks on other years. Even as a young forward he was placed 15th overal in comp in early years so marking was down. But in Lions match he was an important cog and back near his best. We need more of that next year.

BTW our whole brand sponsorship means every player is culpable because Nike has been involved in exploitations scandals too.

Nike, Inc. has been accused of using sweatshops and worker abuse to produce footwear and apparel in East Asia. After rising prices and the increasing cost of labor in Korean and Taiwanese factories, Nike began contracting in countries elsewhere in Asia, which includes parts of India, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

I try to avoid anything made in China after they punished Australian producers (wine, lobsters, etc.), but of course, it's nearly impossible.
There are alternatives for many things that are made in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, etc.
I can't for the life of me work out why we have to import oranges from the USA when Australian citrus growers are struggling.
Another example is trying to buy bacon from supermarkets - most of it says "made from at least 11% Australian ingredients", which means the pork is imported.
Sorry - rant over.

I find people who use the term "woke" in the perjorative are generally fucvking dicj=heads who deserve nothing but scorn and should be shunned by normal people.

I don't see it used often because I block some deadshits.

Sadly the pay in those other countries is not much better.

 

[South of the Yarra]

I played a lot of my early footy in bare feet. Stopped me getting blisters.

 

[Anzacday]

I did. And re-wrote it.

Phew, the Mods dodged a bullet there

You'd let people know why if you deleted a post wouldn't you? I can't imagine you do it for no good reason.
