Mega Thread The Adam Goodes Megathread - Now with Added Poll!

[Dacksaredown]

My point was, I will occasionally boo Goodes because he is a flog- as seen by his actions against Carlton earlier in the year.

You are trying (and failing) to defend Goodes' actions.

If you agree that Goodes' actions where those of a flog and werent needed and that he could have celebrated to his own fans instead then there is nothing else to discuss.

Seeya.

Are you telling me what I'm doing? All I've done is point out where you've done stuff like dictate how an indigenous person should celebrate their culture.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Just like when Marc Murphy flipped off collingwoods cheer squad after a goal one day, Goodes is destined to cop it for every possession from here on out.

Oh, wait.

If they feel like they need to do that then go ahead. Im sure Marc wouldnt have an issue with it and neither would I.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Seeya.

You're not very intelligent are you? That's okay. We need some people on the lower side of the average intelligence spectrum or else it wouldnt be a spectrum.

 

[Dacksaredown]

If they feel like they need to do that then go ahead. Im sure Marc wouldnt have an issue with it and neither would I.

But they aren't doing it.

 

[Kummerspeck]

Saw Michael Walters and Danyle Pearce on my TV. Celebrating to the crowd, with really passive fun style guestures.

Keep it passive and there'll be no issues, am I right?

You said the there was nothing more to discuss. I'd assumed you were done. No need for insults.

 

[JackOutback]

First goal - yep good on him. Go celebrate to your fans... oh wait. He chose to attack the Carlton fans instead.

This is indefensible logic from you, you cant win this argument! You cant explain that by anything else but the fact that Goodes is a flog, he had two options, two sides of the coin, one celebration, one mocking and intimidatory. He chose his side. He reaped the rewards.

Do you hear yourself. So far you have described Goodes' dance as an attack, abuse, malicious and intimidatory. A dance...

And people call Goodes a sook.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I edited my post before you quoted it

Im also not dictating what he can do. He can do it. But he can live with the repercussions of it as well. He's entitled to choose the flog option and im entitled to remind him he is a flog

 

[the_interloper]

at least his $1.03 million Bondi Beach Box is pretty comfortable.

Is that how much Jesintas is worth?

That was Goodes' intention... or else he would have celebrated to his fans. That is fairly clear.

Again not having a sook. Just stating that Goodes chose a flog action and I have the right to consider him a flog because of it.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

You said the there was nothing more to discuss. I'd assumed you were done. No need for insults.

You never answered my question. Because you realised you were being hypocritical.

 

[Confuscius]

If they feel like they need to do that then go ahead. Im sure Marc wouldnt have an issue with it and neither would I.

But they don't feel like doing it for some reason.

 

[Coolangatta]

Yeah, like I said, they want aboriginals to stay in their box. The moment they step out of it and do something controversial, the racism comes out swinging.

 

[Bardo State]

But they aren't doing it.

I wonder why that is...

 

[Dacksaredown]

You never answered my question. Because you realised you were being hypocritical.

What question?

 

[DrEvil_]

Just like when Marc Murphy flipped off collingwoods cheer squad after a goal one day, Goodes is destined to cop it for every possession from here on out.

Oh, wait.

Though to be fair Murphy copped a fine whereas Goodes were praised, I can see how fans would react differently based on this.

 

[Ian Dunross]

It's not as simple as that. I don't think any speech should be censored. Called out if it's stuffed, yes. It's actions that should be penalised.

So how is it that these "powers" are bigoted?

 

[Kummerspeck]

Im also not dictating what he can do.

You quite clearly said that there was a right way to celebrate indigenous culture.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

You quite clearly said that there was a right way to celebrate indigenous culture.

Yeah obviously. There is. As we have seen this round.

Not saying he has to celebrate it that way though. He can do it whatever way he wants and i'll judge him whatever way I want.

 

[The King!]

Saw Michael Walters and Danyle Pearce on my TV. Celebrating to the crowd, with really passive fun style guestures. Not inciting the opposition crowd.

Good examples and role model for the kids

Saw Adam Goodes being divisive as usual with aggressive guestures to the opposition of a home game. Few months later Lewis Jetta says "eff you" in no uncertain terms with the same aggression to the opposition fans over irrational perceptions of racism, taking a leaf out of the Goodes book hiding behind his tradition to do a callous act.

Bad example for the kids

Comfortable with my 2007 onwards assessment of being anti-Goodes and a life long pro-indigenous supporter

You could go on dancing with the stars as you are clearly a dance expert among other things

What's a passive dance look like anyway? Couldn't be too celebratory.

 

[Kummerspeck]

Mate, you're one of a kind. Shine on.

 

[Footy Is The Win]

You could be a judge on there!

Wear a dockers guernsey in this case i suspect would be the big difference
