If you tell a contrarian they're contrarian do they agree or disagree with you?

A 21yr old should have enough nous not to tweet something so crude.......an AFL footballer should definately know not to send a tweet like that.
Just the tone of those tweets, 21 or not, tells me the gutter mentality of him..
they agree to disagree.

God this place is such a PC ****fest. Took a while to find the tweet and then I did and couldn't believe it's had 10 pages of comments. I want to see him go to another club... But for this to be the nail? Geeeeeeeees Louise (or Louie for those concerned about the gender specifics)
Its definitely not the nail, the nail was driven in a long ago by the sounds of it, the club/media are using it as the nail to mask his other indiscretions.
I've just been listening to Terry Wallace and The Purple tosser on Trade Radio and I can't believe the crap that Wallace gets away with as supposed list expert that has sent Richmond into a 20 year spiral due to inept and lack of ability to identify talent. They paid out on Rockliff and had him as a trade bin give away as a mid to late 2nd rounder and Brisbane would have to pay 150,000 of hi contract! WTF!! These guys are either smoking the green stuff or are so twisted and biter that they should be smoking it!

Apparently Collingwood were interested in Lin Jong. Can't imagine they wouldn't be interested in Rocky now.
How they have a job is beyond belief, anyone that follows the AFL could do a far better job.
Girls love reading their sporting heroes re-enforce that looks are important to 'land a man'!
Hopefully they unfollow him and stick with T. Harris, who will give them a bit of a better picture as to what they should work on.
This is like the Eddie thing. It's not about individual statements or their severity, it's about stamping out the constant barrage that faces girls when trying to figure themselves and the world out.
They have nothing to give plus I don't want another trade period with them. I bet their posters would start saying "straight swap for Frost"
As a guy who is Rockys age, unfortunately comments like that are not an uncommon thing for me to witness. Most people aren't stupid enough to post it on social media, but will say things like that in conversation without a second thought.
It's a wrong and stupid attitude to have but it is not only Rocky who is guilty of this so let's not make him out to be a pariah because of this one comment.
Having said that, when added on top of all the other evidence it's quite obvious that he is not a man who should be in a leadership position and should probably be let go from the club altogether even if it meant getting little in return.

St Kilda? Maybe Freo.
Would think both their teams have been led superbly and would have a plan in place for someone to continue their great work.Wish we had a captain with that kind of leadership especially in the tough times like Rooey or Pav massive difference to the next generation.

I don't think anybody would trade for Rocky if it was a stipulation he would be their clubs new captain.

I totally agree if we have to pay any salary he should net us a first rounder, however it seems rockliff is trying to drive his value so low

Exactly. As a woman, I too have heard plenty of women similar in age to Rocky do the same thing (rate blokes on a scale of 1-10) but they're generally more discreet and don't brag about it on social media. Regardless, I've never fancied Rocky as proper leadership material. He's a good player but I just don't like him as the skipper. I'm glad he was pulled up for what he said, not just because I thought the comments were sexist, but because they came from the leader of a footy club who is supposedly meant to set a good example and behave in a professional manner, even on social media. Disappointing.

So it's not sexist to say it discreetly but it is on a public forum? I'm confused sorry. It's either okay or not okay. By the way no one brags about bagging a 3/10 so I wouldn't call it that lol.
What footyfan98 is saying is that people (men and women) of that age (certainly all ages) can be sexist at times.
If Rocky is sexist, he's better off keeping it to himself because he's the figurehead of a major organisation.

Sorry, should've been more clear. I just meant that even though it's not okay, both men and women still do it anyway, but I feel like women tend to be a bit more subtle with the way they go about it (my opinion only). Some may disagree. I didn't know what else to label it, bragging was the first thought that came to mind.

I'd say it was negging or banter or chat, they all mean the same thing really. But yeah that makes more sense cheers
Who picked up the night they were talking about, was it Rocky or the other bloke?
