No Oppo Supporters 2016 General AFL Discussion Part 2 (Sydney Posters Only)

My argument is not against cousins in particular, but rather how a player with his past is treated compared to someone like goodesy with an impeccable character

Without seeing the channel 7 piece, what was the exact reference to Goodes?

 

[ScrewInStuds]

Haha, I can see how shrooms would help with quiditch, but crystal meth and AFL.....

It significantly boosts both endurance and reaction times, almost the perfect game day drug for AFL

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Yup, doesn't it also give you superior strength? Also would give you a mental edge considering you feel invincible

While not performance enhancing per second, it does have properties that would benefit the user in the footy field

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I wonder if this happened in the NRL we would of been awarded the 2006 flag, AFL lacks balls to do anything Watson should of been stripped on the first day of his medal.

It doesnr reference goodes. My point is that ben is celebrated and goodesey is harrassed and abused out of the game

Would screw with your head though. Cant imagine that would help

I think your going to polar opposite against the people that harassed Goodes.

Goodes doesn't deserve the treatment that he gets, but on the same token, B.Cousins doesn't deserved that treatment either.

I think you are attacking the wrong person here mate.

Actually he was attacking the hypocrisy in the AFL. I agree totally.

I present to your The Duck as exhibit B. Media darling. Caller. Expert. All round top bloke except for all the other stuff we don't talk about in polite company.

I see your duck, and raise you a drink driving hodge

Surely people look at how poorly goodes has been treated compared to others and feel a little ashamed that his career has been tarnished and possibly ended pre maturely for no good reason

Why do we need to compare this to Goodsey? Its a completely different issue.

In relation to Cousins, I agree with you 100%. I'm sick of hearing excuses for drug addicts, especially when they've been given as many chances as what Cousins has had.

I think every Sydney Swan fan and most decent people that watch the AFL think that.

I do.

Just getting angry that there is someone that is treated well, using it in an argument for goodes I don't agree with.

ie. Just because w***ers out there that treat goodes they way they did, doesn't mean cousins deserves that treatment or getting attacked for serious issues he has had.

Cousins had absolutely nothing to do with Goodes in that manner.

What goodes has done for the AFL, Australia and the community should speak enough.

Good news - Chris Langford finally retiring from the VFL Commission

Bad news - even worse than Langford, Eddie's sidekick Andrew Newbold going onto the commission :-(

The Commission becomes even more Melbourne big club centric!

Surely it's time for Fitzpatrick to bugger off ......

 

[robbieando]

.....and the footy is back again

Pity its Hawks vs Carlton

 

[Tuco]

Carlton playing to win a finals berth....oh wait that stupid idea was just in Eddie's head. *phew*

 

[GotTheGoodes]

.....and the footy is back again

Pity its Hawks vs Carlton

Happy footy'sback but I honestly cannot think of a worse match first up... It actually makes me feel physically ill.

 

[Mister B]

Thinking the basketball semi's might be preferred than watching these campaigners.

Saw Hanners presser today.

Looks like a man these days. No puppy fat and a real grit on his face.

Just over a month away from the Collingwood match.
So keen for footy this year

???

If you are referring to the Melbourne Storm getting their premierships taken away for Salary Cap cheating, Parramatta and Manly didn't get awarded the flags for them.
