Not really sure why that would help you believe

That's the right time to go the Shush

Will afl investigate projectiles being thrown at gc players.

Will afl investigate projectiles being thrown at gc players.

Will Essendon supporters have their ex players in the media go at them and then keep bringing it up over the next 2 months?

 

[VineValerian]

The Redbacks will win a Shield before Essendon wins a final.

Joe Biden will make a comeback in 2028 and be re-elected President before Essendrug will win a final.

Mac Andrew the only bloke in the AFL smart enough to pick the right moment for the shush.

Lukosious just like Marshall - get him out the way and let the proper talls fly for the ball.

Brisbane still slight favorites to win the flag followed by Sydney,GWS,Dogs,Geelong and then us at $9.

I saw an alternative to this with a target that had nine misses. Thomas Matthew Crooks had a better aim than Essington.

 

[Greasyrhys]

With the way this round is going, any of the 6 teams playing today can win, but maybe not the tiggers.

 

[Grave Danger]

These two teams have been Danked...

There's been some interesting discussion on Reddit about how she actually came to be the one to represent Australia/Oceania in this event.

She held a privileged position due to her involvement with the dance sport organisation.
Her Phd research was based on the societal aspects of breakdancing culture, in particular its link to lower socio-economic groups using it as a form of expression that required no money, or eduction or privilege to engage in, and be good at.
She 'won' the right to compete by beating only a handful of other dancers in the qualifying competition. (Some reports say that there were only 15 competitors in the Qualifying comp)

So we have a middle-aged white woman, representing a colonialist country, who has 'studied' this urban sub-culture, presumably enough to know its roots and its meaning, who then decides that she is to be the one to represent it on the global stage. Unintentionally making a mockery of the whole sub-culture with her 'interpretation' of it in such a tone-deaf manner.

And now she/her supporters are all crying misogyny with the critical feedback she's received on her performance.
Anna Meares even coming out and saying that she's fantastic and everyone loves her feels like a smokescreen.

Her lame attempts at doing the 'diss' moves on the stage were utterly cringe and made her look way worse than just her routine.

I will give her this though, I haven't laughed so much at something so ridiculous in a very long time.

I give her gold for that.

The entire fiasco will end up a question on a trivial pursuit board game.
Possibly an appearance in 20 years time by Raygun on a Where are they now show.

The old AFL logo on the Carlton kit looks great why did we ever change it?

I’m expecting Carlton to bounce back today, for all the talk and hype they attract a loss today puts them in the also rans.
