Prediction I give up, we're idiots. Thank you Nigel Smart, you're Just Right.

Lmao you sound like my 87 year old Grandma. She was like "how do we know he wasn't just trying to pay her a compliment?". She at least has the excuse of having no experience with the internet or social media though.


If I want comedy, I'll watch a comedian. I watch footy to watch footy. I don't find the constant dick waving by BT and his mates amusing at all.

But why do you listen? 80% of the call is the play by play which you‘re seeing for yourself. You’re not blind, I assume, so play by play is superfluous. TV audience is about the add ons, we see the action, we want to be entertained by the commentary. Otherwise, you’d just mute the TV. What’s your idea of a good 4 person commentary team?

The fact you and deanus cant get past man complimenting women = sexual is concerning.

I have 2 acquaintances that are insta models\influences, both have laughed at the response of a bunch of old men on an internet forum about footy.

So if Smart's comment was pefectly innocent, why did he delete it?

The Adelaide Football Club has a current board member whose previous job was trafficking arms to genocidal autocracies. Nigel Smart getting horny on twitter is small beer.

WTF?

 

[footballl]

What? Really?

Jim McDowell was previously the CEO of BAE Saudi Arabia.

Drawing a long bow

Drawing a long bow

Probably a troll account.

Drawing a long bow

"He sold weapons to a government which used them to conduct crimes against humanity" is about as short a bow as there is

 

[hey shorty]

Wal-Mart sells guns to maniacs who kill people too.

So are you a Geelong supporter or a Port fan ??

If it pisses you off so much, make your own thread about it. I don't see why you need to post that shit in here.

I dare say because of people like you.

 

[footballl]

Probably a troll account.

I'm not trolling, I wrote a letter to the club about this the day it was announced in 2017. I did not get a response.

The poor character of people the club associates with has been a problem of mine for many years. Have a look at the list of official club 'ambassadors' (if you can find it - it's mysteriously vanished off the club website). Some real suspect characters on there.

I wasn't attempting to derail the thread, it was just an off-hand attempt to make the point that Smart's antics are not particularly serious in the scheme of things.

Bloody bizzare place for it thats for sure

Smart is representative to what our club believes to be the, “right people in the right seats”. Smart is us. We only jettisoned Pyke, Campo and Burton via an unwanted external review. Otherwise, they’d all still be employed and protected and described by us as being among the highest performing staff across the entire industry.

 

[Redline]

I bet Smarty is hoping the club wraps it's arms around him tomorrow, in particular some of our younger female employees.

Obviously those 2 words that were a direct response to a simple sentence were taken out of context. Damn the sensationalist media.

Thats a hot take

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Smart deleted the comment because his superiors asked him to. They know the kind of harm that sort of shit can do to our reputation. I don't really care if you're naive enough to actually believe it was a compliment or if you just have no moral compass. At least somebody at the club had the common sense and basic decency to see it for what it was and have it removed.

Well he should be able to teach us a thing or two about wiping out the competition

The right response was to sack Smart. But he was on the board through the Trigg debacle. Has a job for life.

Sure thats kinda valid. But as a stand alone they are an indictment on our staff

First Roo goes off on twitter and backs down

Now Smart thinks its ok to be like Rolf

It's not about my moral compass or me being the decency police. I don't know why he posts and I don't care, I'm just not a self righteous campaigner and don't feel the need to get hysterical about it.

He deleted it because people like you who feel the need to pass judgement on everything and everyone complain to people up the line, so they then have to act.

If you just didn't care about Smart's comment you wouldn't have even posted in this thread. Instead you come in here and defend his behavior. You are self righteous, you just have a really warped idea about what righteousness actually is.
