No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 5

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

And Hawkins this year came as that French pole vaulter with the bar though his er, um, yeah.

You would just hope this is the final nail in the coffin for all post season dress ups. They're all childish/offensive and most are just downright stupid at the best of times.

Not talking about the GWS incident, but mad Monday in general, why do people think they can decide what other people find funny?

Kane Cornes always complains about it. If players are dressing up and going to a pub why does there need to be outrage? It’s something that’s beyond easy to avoid consuming.

Never understand why people think they can decide what other people should be able to do for fun (again, not talking about gws).

They were simulating rape, big boy.

If not wanting to be cancelled = wanting to be a decent person that holds a level of respect for others then I wouldn’t want to be canceled either.

I doubt you have the emotional intelligence or empathy to comprehend how this would affect women at the club and partners of the players involved.

Yeah, it was in bad taste, but you are just reading off a script to signal your virtue.

 

[Thunderoad]

Yeah mate, no one but you is able to arrive at their conclusion independently.

GWS AFLW coach said after their loss to Hawthorn that the events of the last week took a heavy emotional toll on the side but the relationship with the men's team is 'definitely reparable'. - 3AW

We need to condemn bad behaviour sure, but comedy and acting is often important to highlight atrocious behaviour. We have someone here in BigFooty with a Palestine flag as their avatar, that went up straight after the appalling events last year. The brutal rape, torture murder on October 7 was cheered on by many, and continues to be. So let’s be a bit merciful to some young lads doing a comedy sketch, and get things into a bit of perspective.

Yeah, but if I'm putting on the hat of a club CEO or footy manager, then I would be saying as employees of this club, you're just not dressing up, no arguments.

I don't care if you're all going as circus clowns or something entirely inoffensive, we're just not taking the risk anymore. Is it succumbing to 'cancel culture'? Probably, but from a practical sense, why take the risk given the fallout?

As for what is and what isn't funny, you're right, it's subjective, but I've just always thought the dress up thing is dumb, just my opinion. Something best left for the end of school rather than professional sportsmen.

I’m just glad the afl has it’s priorities right.

Cracking down savagely on these immature young men and their poorly chosen comedy skits is sooooo important.

Meanwhile, let’s cut to a break for the odds on our next match while society continues dealing with the scourge of problem gambling.

What does that even mean.

You are acting as if both cannot be done and also as if reenacting a sex crime is equivalent to a perfectly legal adult activity.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I’m against banning dress ups, there have been some very clever costumes in the past that haven’t offended anyone. Humour is great and needs to be encouraged. But some subjects should be off limits due to being illegal, and harmful, and a threat to women especially, eg rape, and court cases that are not funny to anyone. Whoever set the theme did not think it through. Surely there were plenty of alternatives that didn’t require such secrecy.

Classic non response from you. I’m too woke for you to handle.

I am assuming you are having a go at me, I don’t condone what happened on October 7, I don’t condone violence ever, as a solution to conflict. Israel continues to ignore the United Nations General Assembly’s countless Resolution’s and continues to illegally occupy and take over more land designated for a Palestinian State, working under the Zionist ideology, (not Jewish) that Palestinians are an inferior race, than yes I do recognise the struggle for Palestinians to continue to live on their land, and condemn the occupation and apartheid violence of Israel leading up to October 7th.

Over the last 12 months, 40,000 people in Gaza and the West Bank have been killed including 142 UN employees, 128 journalists, and hospitals, schools, refugee camps targeted. Are you outraged about that?

I believe Jewish and Palestinian people should both be able to live in peace and freedom.

Apologies to everyone else, I know this is not a political thread, but I won’t ignore the inference that I support terrorists, and I won’t say anything further on this subject.

[Testekill]

It's effectively a work sanctioned event. I know an AFL club is not exactly a normal workplace, but this doesn't fly within a professional organisation. It's also understandable that the leaders in the room who allowed it to happen were implicated in the punishment.

Yeah that's the big reason as to why the leadership group are copping heavy fines, they needed to nip it in the bud.

Not necessarily having a go at you personally, I have actually liked a lot of your posts, especially recently. I am just trying to point out hypocrisy with others who are so condemning of the GWS lads when they might support regimes that murder and rape, and excuse it because “the other side is bad too”. I am not supporting those GWS lads but am a little more forgiving than a lot on here.
That flag is triggering for those that had their friends and families murdered and r*ped on October 7. I get there is no winners in the Middle East. Others have put the Israel flag up since and is just as triggering. Both are raised to hate the other with such venom, I despair at their thinking.
We are improving as a society but I do think the AFL picks and chooses their morality based on their middleclass values. On their own website the other day one of their journalists advocated for draft tampering, that the Bulldogs would be frowned upon if they sent Smith to the draft. Yet the fines and punishment for these lads is way out of kilter with what they did. We’ve had groups marching with swastikers calling “gas the Jews” applauded by some parts of the media and politicians. Things are way way out of perspective.

Well thank god for that, I too like a lot of your posts, although disagree with others, which is fine.

I think the AFL is sensitive to sponsors views on things, especially if the sponsor is striving to be a good corporate citizen. As far as the GWS thing, it was really stupid and showed a lack of leadership. I think fines were appropriate, I don’t know about missing games, but decent men don’t make jokes about sexual violence around their sisters, mother and work colleagues, which is what there AFLW team are to them.

Just a comment about the media reports on Swatikas, and other Nazi propoganda, there was shown to be no evidence of this, and you have to be careful what you read in Murdoch newspapers, as he is a committed Zionist. Media Watch reported on the lack of balanced reporting in The Australia, HeraldSun and his other newspapers which was quite staggering on the Gaza conflict, as a reference point.

Anyway Go Dogs!

Spot on mate.
I have a similar view, no one condones what happened on Oct 7 , fair to say we were all outraged.
Israel has an obligation and a right to seek out and destroy anyone that poses a threat to their people, but that doesn’t mean they have the right to wage a war on all the peoples of Palestine.

The word hypocrisy has been bandied about ???
Interesting he or she would level that at other posters .

Hope it all ends soon , no one should have their lives ruined by ideology and stupid wars.

Do Mad Monday or Wacky Wednesday or whatever, I just think it's dumb and stupid. Just my opinion, but its cons outweigh the pros right now.
