Your secret word or safe word?
Anyone else think Swan is being overrated in the retrospective assessments of his career?

Probably a touch but he has won a lot of individual awards over his career so probably stands out to Collingwood folk
One thing I find strange in regards to Swan over the years is everyone just conveniently forgot he helped bash that guy and leave him brain damaged. Anyone else would have had that stick with them but people see him as the lovable larrikin these days.

There was a time during his career that he impacted the result of games with his high possession style. Towards the latter end of his career though, he just seemed to be padding his stats (ala Rockliff) with meaningless touches around the ground.
The original good bloke

This is the world we live in now, a significant proportion of the population are so precious that they have to look for things to get offended about on behalf of other people because they're "privileged"

Yes, the author doesn't know what Dickensian means.
By Collingwood supporter standards that's a fairly innocuous incident. Hence the lovable larrikin characterisation.
The tripanel is a hate crime. Should have worn the yell.. er the Peril.
There's a line though.
I don't think it was crossed given its just a kid and he wanted to dress up like his idol.
But there are many more instances where blackface IS crossing the line, so it's not that helpful to make generalisations about privilege etc.
Anyway this is gonna turn into a shitstorm of faux outrage from both sides of the fence like usual so I'll leave it here.

I agree with this. I can understand why blackface is offensive, but I just don't think a young boy dressing up as his hero should be frowned upon. The little guy obviously loves and idolises nic, and clearly means him no offence.

I'm not saying there is no situation where blackface is not racist, just not in this situation. But there is a growing trend of middle class white people getting offended about all sorts of things on others behalves.

Blackface is an American thing though isn't it? Doesn't have a great deal of historical context over here, but still something you would want to avoid regardless of intent.
