Past #12: Lindsay Thomas - released by NM to pursue rookie list spot at PA - thx4 everything Lindsay

[Rooboy 96]

It's a joke - not just at Brereton, but also Taylor, Darcy and all the other idiot commentators who will say any rubbish rather than give LT credit or fairness.

is that a guess or do you know this is what TD was thinking when his fingers were hitting the keyboard?

 

[connolly]

Rightly or wrongly, i can't remember another player in the last 30 years that has been so publicly persecuted such as LT. I'm not going to mention the topic. What i want to applaud is, that Lindsay has got to be one of the mentally toughest players to ever play the game. With all the above crap, rules changes (apparently due to him), coming back from the goal kicking yips a few years back. Every breath, every movement, every word or gesture, scrutinised like no other player that's ever played the game.

Lindsay, i didn't like you at first, now i love you to bits, great talent, strength of character, bleeds Royal Blue and White, if only we had more.

Come on North, as they say "GET AROUND HIM"

Mate you forgot something about Thomas. He strongly supported Adam Goodes last year. Pity some of your supporters didn't get "Around Him Then".

I'm glad to see Goodes throwing some support back then.

In 2014 Dermie attacked Thomas for staging when he was elbowed in the head by Mckenzie.

Mckenzie was suspended

Dermie you have form as a racist and as a hater of Thomas.

You sure about that?

Sure some of our supporters booed Goodes.

Others called it for the racist shit it was.

I witnessed North fans having a crack at North fans for booing.

There is also a now locked thread on this board about the subject where the OP urged all North supporters not to boo.

BTW you could here Boos on the Telecast when Lindsay was having a shot Friday night.

Plenty of us did! Loud boos for Thomas on Friday night.

Yeah but those boos had nothing to do with his race, you could tell, they were in a different note.

 

[Rooboy 96]

If we learnt anything last year we learnt, it means jacksh1t what anyone else thinks the boos are about.

 

[numchuks]

Lindsay has kicked the 7th most goals of ANY indigenous player in AFL/VFL history. By the year is finished he will be in the top 5.

On that number alone, that puts him in the elite of indigenous talent. But the way the media goes on you'd have no idea about that.

In a round where we are supposed to be recognising indigenous Australians, Lindsay deserves a lot better from not just the media but the footy community as well for what he has achieved over his career then what we have heard about him this round.

so that would be three years after apologising to Chris Lewis for being a racist?

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/brereton-says-sorry-over-racial-taunt-20110915-1kcat.html

got to love how Lewis can't be bothered with Brereton and his racism.

add this to 2013 attack on Goodes

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-05-13/brereton-launches-scathing-attack-on-goodes

add this to his on air fight with Rebecca Wilson

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...n/news-story/e865d2d52022738430092baebc45db21

and this little gem of wisdom from a racist.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...n/news-story/797797e4fc7efb723efed605307e6119

so all in all when you look at dimwit dermot's history he is a self confessed racist and who once said I'm sorry.

 

[Arden]

The funny thing with Derm is, that you just know if he was playing under today's interpretations, he would be throwing his head back, blonde perm flying everywhere. Then after feigning death, strutting back to his mark with a smug grin on his face.

He doth protest too much.

 

[Twinkletoes]

I bet Chris Lewis wanted to carjack the Batmobile and do burnouts on Dermie's big head back in '91.

This is the only time I have altered my Schimma avatar. It is not something I do lightly.

But what is happening to LT is wrong and this week I want to show him how much he is loved & respected by this ardent Roo.

Who is with me?

 

[LB2Snake]

Good to see you can take an objective look at this situation.

Can anyone have a truly objective view on these things? They are interpretations, all of them. I just found the Goodes comparison bloody laughable.

piss off dickhead, my comments are all about Lindsay and him alone. I'm not interested in Adam Goodes, it's the here and now, and LT needs and will hopefully get our full support. He is still an important part of our team make-up.
