Opinion 2018 Non-Crows Discussion - Part 2: Tom Doedee, Rising Star Nominee & Port's New Major Sponsor

[Mego Red]

This is another poor form of arguing. Using word origins claiming that parts of words trivialise and/or offend due to its origin. Stick to the points of the discussion or don't bother chiming in. Its a poor attempt to claim one upmanship. Its like when Waleed Ali claimed the use of hysterical to women was offensive because some distant word origin that was originally derogatory.

Feminazi is a phrase coined by right wing extremists, who think any woman arguing for equality or respect is somehow attacking them as men. It is a term only used by misogynists.

Similarly the term "hysterical" in relationship to women has also historically only been used by misogynists as a way of minimising or dismissing their opinions.

Further to that, anyone arguing on behalf of the man in a sexual assault case (and flippantly dismissing the claims of the victim) runs the risk of looking pretty suss as well.

The vast majority of sexual assault cases go unreported and certainly unprosecuted. There may not be enough evidence (or even cause) to charge Powell Pepper in a court of law - but that's not what this is.

If we are talking balance of probabilities where there's video evidence of his intoxication, where he chooses not to speak in his defence and others can speak of his behaviour, then clearly the AFL feel there's a necessity for them to act.

Go Norf...the last thing anyone needs is Hawthorn playing finals and getting to play the entire series at home.

 

[The Karma Bus]

If North still had Sniper Thomas, this game could have been over by now as the Hawks would have been down to no one left on the bench.. at the least.

 

[Runnin Blue]

I picked North by 27 points. END THE GAME NOW.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Lol at North being third on the live ladder

 

[footy4ever]

Lol Impey playing for time.

"I sing NTUA with gusto" and therein lies part of the problem you wan*er. Maybe if you concentrate on the on field instead of cheap gimmicks.

Plus it's an atrocious song to begin with. I'd much rather sing 'In the Raw' by Lubricated Goat

 

[Mego Red]

Kern checks for messages of support

He's reading the Ken thread on the Port board.

I hope they beat their chests hard over this. They've only beaten Carlton, St Kilda and Hawthorn so far, all of whom comfortably did not make finals last season

 

[WetCrow1991]

Eagles 4-1 but haven't really beaten anyone.

 

[kirky]

Originally thought the game was st G and not Etihad.

Not sure but Hawks record at Etihad ain’t that good from memory - happy to be proven wrong.

To be fair, they were slated for bottom 4 and are in full rebuild. I'd be stoked if I was a Roos fan.

They've only beaten Hawthorn of note so far.

They look better than Carlton, St Kilda and Brisbane but that's not saying much. Bottom 4 teams do beat other bottom 4 teams

They were my tip for the spoon .

 

[Cap]

How accurate were the hawks? Normal game that would have been a 10 goal loss.

 

[kirky]

Great round so far - teams above us losing and us snagging a good win.

Look out once we get our full team on the park.

North are not a real threat to us, so them winning is good if it keeps them above melbourne.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Brisbane are so shit inside F50

 

[Anzacpaul]

Meanwhile the other Charlie just slotted his 10th goal for the season..... Thought he would go to crap at the lions but he's actually been good

 

[Drummond]

As they should, but Gold Coast have quite a few talented kids.

And now we wait for the evidence-free accusations against Crows supporters at the Sydney game

 

[Scorpus]

Lions getting REAMED by the umpires in this one

Definitely a neutral supporter wearing power gear....

 

[Mego Red]

Is Derwaynnne ******ed?

I mean, he has just said that GC are playing their first game in their home state this year...Cairns isn't in Queensland anymore?

To be fair, Melbourne is closer to the Gold Coast than Cairns is. Hell, Hobart might be closer.
