Rita Panahi unloading on the Swans.
Not even in the sports section either.

Criticising the contradiction after the Pride match with the new Qatar airways sponsorship.

What's the issue exactly?

What's the issue exactly?

That there's a conflict in supporting LGBT rights while accepting a sponsorship from a company based una country that discriminates and punishes people for LGBT activity and orientation.

Most likely paywalled but I'm out so can't find the non-paywall link

Does the company itself conduct homophobic practices?

Not that I'm aware but if I'm not mistaken it is state owned.

Fair enough.

 

[Magma]

We happen to re-sign Hodge Burgoyne and Gibson to one year deals on reduced money, also sign poppy for one more year........

 

[Magma]

i cant see why anyone would go near him. aren't his knees practically finished?

i dont think any team will satisfy what gold coast want, and if they do, they're nuts.

Essendon should be all over this trying to get him in the PSD

If GC let him go into the preseason draft they are clueless

Gold Coast confirmed the news in a statement on Thursday, with chairman Tony Cochrane saying O'Meara"holds no rights to determine his destination of choice.

"With that being the case, Jaeger is on the market to a club that can provide us compensation we are prepared to accept.

"Should an appropriate exchange not be met he will have the option to enter the draft.

"It's the right time for the club to make a stance. And we do so for the sake of our current players, supporters, partners and the thousands of junior AFL participants who are building the foundation of this club."

All clubs say that but they won't let it get to that.
They'll play that club off against the Dons "if you don't give us a fair offer we'll let him go to the PSD" and it's a game of chicken to see who blinks first.

They will not allow him to actually go to the PSD though. Clubs have learnt the Nick Stevens lesson.

 

[BluesMan]

I want him. But they wont be getting two first rounders from anyone.

 

[BluesMan]

I can see freo getting him thou

Maybe he'd be happy to go to the Dons.

I can't. Their currency will be chewed up partly by McCarthy

That is the only chance. He has to nominate the Dons. Does that and GC are stuffed.
Otherwise he does not go to the PSD

 

[chef]

With the million draft picks GC have already got this draft they may want established players.

Plus gives Clayton less first rounders to burn.

 

[kreglze]

Ehh it is happening... God I love the club, but times like this the love is sorely tested. The Exodus begins... Thank god for Academy kids
