Tayla Harris just got immortalised with a Bronze Statue....

[Credit2thaB0is]

You realise it's not a tribute to her as such right?

Well, it is...

 

[Tandy]

Wasn't it just some guy who decided to make it. Doubt there was any voting or a committee deciding on who the next statue should be. He might decide to make one of Cam McCarthy next, it means squat to me personally but good on anyone who wants to get all symbolic about it.

 

[Bostonian]

You just know that somewhere, hiding in a quiet corner of the city, bidding it's time, is a pigeon with diarrhoea that's going to wreck the statue with an almighty bottom blast.

It's what pigeons sole purpose in life is.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Is the statue the most elaborate triigger ever?

Clearly designed to hike up the triggering.

To me its not a statue in the traditional sense. But a piece of art and should have been presented as such.


On another angle, when did liberals/lefties get into statues in the traditional sense? Total victorian era macho rubbish

I wonder if the erection of this statue will lead to other kind of erections? Or was that a tasteless, totally unfunny joke?

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Almost as embarrassing as the Vic dad of the year award

 

[Marc_Remillard]

God I hate it when people do good.

Makes me so outraged.

Do you need to use the calm-down corner?

 

[windyhill]

PS arguably the greatest woman of our time wont accept statues of her

Not like Miley to be shy

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I was a quality SFL player in my day and got bullied once in Bay 13 on here. I can't wait for my statue to be unveiled next week.

 

[HolyWars]

God I hate it when people do good.

Makes me so outraged.

You instantly know the calibre of a person when they throw around "do-gooder".

 

[Pessimistic]

Looking into it, its called ‘more than a kick’ and has not got a permanent home yet.

While it is physically like the MCG statues its purpose is different.

Its art, which is meant to provoke discussion, and maybe they were loose with the presentation to excacerbat that no publicity is bad publicity eh?

So. Its Art therefore the worthiness of taylas career compared to others is redundant

 

[Bostonian]

My Mrs reckons stuff like this is condescending. In that certain sections of society set such low standards for women that they do mundane things and get hailed as heroes.

My Mrs is ten times smarter than me so it can only be the truth.

 

[WCEbrody]

The concept of Tayla Harris getting a statue, and the people getting infuriated by it are both equally hilarious.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Apparently she was beside herself at the unveiling!!!

 

[Upgrayedd]

Imagine getting so upset and blaming politics for a decision to put up a bronze statue of someone.

Jesus Christ this topic is just a poor attempt atbait. Awful. You are better then thus.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

The funniest thing about all this is that NAB bankrolled it.

So whilst the Lefties are proudly beating their chest about a job well done, it's actually promoting the very institution that they hate.

****ing hilarious

In that I wouldn't have any issue with it. To put it at the G among greats like say Leigh Matthews or Betty Cuthbert respectively just seems a bit cheap to me, but I can't see that happening...then again we all know what the AFL is like nowadays.

 

[Pessimistic]

Not like Miley to be shy

Was thinking kardashian actually

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Well, it is...

Of course it's not.

It's a symbolic tribute to the cause of women being represented in domestic Australian sport.

And the encouragement the AFLW has provided for 10s of 1000s of girls to pursue a career or hobby that they previously never could.


It's pretty ****ing obvious dude.

 

[Upgrayedd]

God I hate it when people do good.

Makes me so outraged.

I bet she also got a participation statue.

 

[beta_condition]

Who are you whining to?

Do you think Harris lobbied for it? Do you think she's going to take it home with her?

??

How do you not accept it? It's not like a lolly bag she gets to take home with her.

"Sorry dude, I want you to melt it down. Some losers on BigFooty don't think I'm worthy of having a big hunk of metal sculptured in my likeness. They're ironically offended by it, because they hate when people get offended by petty stuff. So as to not offend them, I refuse to take this 3m statue home with me.

You should do it after someone important that never threatened anyone's status quo and that will inspire future generations of young women to stay in their box."

Do you even read before you start puffing like an ape? If you want to celebrate women in sport and put it on a political agenda use someone that has dedicated their life and achieved something for women to strive for not a statue that's a response to immature tweets from teenagers. This means nothing and bloody laughable people are comparing this to Winmar

Nothing beats the shane warne statue unveiling

 

[Milanista28]

Lol doesn't mean much everyone knows that

Ha ! Imagine the squabbling from the ones that missed out.

And no one was ever trolled on the internet again.
