Imagine if they banned that 1
Would not be just essendon bringing the bombers to the mcg

 

[Alberton Proud]

Society is a complicated place with so many opposing points of view

Football should be a place where we can escape all the shit in the world for a couple of hours each week

 

[Grave Danger]

Uhhhh, so LGBT flags etc all fine but israel not?

The AFL has since clarified/retracted. SEN had updated their story, but left it with the inflammatory clickbait headline.

 

[Burningleviathan]

I mean if a person bought an Iranian flag or a Palestinian flag to the next Nth Melbourne game, how we think that gonna get received?

AFL trying to avoid going down the old NSL route.

Edit: so they overturned it. Interesting.

Yeah lol sorry, misunderstood the term "lucked out"

OP updated !!

Apparently a young kid made the flag himself, as well as the other banner you see behind it. He got them ok'd by the police before entering the ground.

 

[edgie]

He pointed right in the umpires face and went off at him.

The 2nd one was definitely there.

One out of three ain't bad?

will not take part in the club’s training session on Thursday following more allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the club said it was aware of reports Thomas is facing new allegations of sending threatening text messages.

“Thomas has been participating in a respect and responsibility education program that deals with accountability, remorse and behaviour change following allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women,” the club statement read.

North Melbourne has confirmed Tarryn Thomas will not take part in the club’s training session on Thursday following more allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the club said it was aware of reports Thomas is facing new allegations of sending threatening text messages.

“Thomas has been participating in a respect and responsibility education program that deals with accountability, remorse and behaviour change following allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women,” the club statement read.

At this point, the fact he isnt sacked is probably because he is indiginous PLUS victorian club, and the AFL don't want to pull the trigger. Yarran got away with it for a career. Must be a pretty strong card since weve seen what De Goey gets away with.

The comparisons to the treatment of SPP are stark.

 

[Grave Danger]

They won't be nudging 400k crowds this week - the "interest factor" drops off with just about each game. Bris vs Melbourne is being played across town from the first Broncos v Dolphins clash at the exact same time, so that might affect numbers a bit. Both WA teams are playing at Optus so that should help, but both against minusculely supported teams.

Exactly. Dude was hung, drawn and quartered before even a shred of evidence was put forward.

I wonder if its better to turf someone like this out, or to educate and give them a chance to turn it around.

If you need remorse training you're probably a lost cause.
