2019 Non-Crows AFL Chat Part 2

[spenze]

You got a like for the use of the word augurs

My mate augurs with his wife all the time, we never go to their dinner parties anymore

Will McIntosh get cited for his accidental punch to Akins face. Amazing he didn't get reported.

Match Review for Thursday was released yesterday. No charges or findings. Lucky to not have been sighted but I guess they could argue it was in the play and a Richmond player so play on.

Has Port ever won their next game after China? Didn’t in 2018 nor this year.

Pretty poor attempt at an apology from Ben Stratton

Doesn’t say it’s wrong to pinch people or stomp on them. Just says it’s “not a good look” and he “doesn’t want to be known for it” and he needs to “do better”

As with all of these non-apology apologies, the person involved says things that are actually true - it’s not a good look, he doesn’t want to be known for it, he needs to do better - and which he is therefore comfortable saying, to avoid saying something he’s not comfortable saying - it’s wrong and I shouldn’t have done it

Not sorry he did it, sorry he got caught

Stratton's response is why I changed my response in the poll. Initially I voted for a fine.

Had he come out and said that what he did was wrong, and made a genuine apology to Fantasia, Cameron, Walters and other players he's done this to (if you think this is the first time..I don't know what to say), then the AFL could reasonably fine him.

The joke of an apology he made just demonstrated he was only sorry he was caught.

A lengthy suspension is appropriate.

It won't happen, as this is the AFL, but it's absolutely appropriate.

Don’t think so

And it’s glorious

Deserves at least 2 for behaving like a 5 year old

 

[tinman]

nope, no chance in hell they are doing that

C'mon at 50,000 to 1 it's got to be worth a lazy 50c?

Then again, better to keep the 50c for parking I think. No point giving it away ;-)

 

[GameofSloanes]

Stratton deserves Adam Goodes-level booing for the rest of his career

But that would be racist

Grounded for two weeks

And no pocket money

They should go twice a year

Though I’m not sure Goodes pinched opposition players or stomped on their feet.

Just slid into players.

"other peoples money"

You're right, Stratton won't be booed as much because he's not black

 

[Golumless]

He also used classic “distancing” language to water it down further - it’s “probably” not a good look and I “probably” don’t want to be known for it

Hope they throw the book at him. Also need Clarkson to make a statement about it - is this acceptable as part of “unsociable footy” or isn’t it?

I highly doubt Clarkson gives the slightest **** about it. Sometimes you get suspended when trying to straddle the line.

Agree. Wasn't it Clarkson who supposedly instructed Hodge and Sam Mitchell to deliberately "cork" opposition midfielders.

 

[Geoffa32]

Kane was having a massive melt in "The Round So Far" video about Freo players taunting Port during the game and calling it arrogant.

Pretty sure that when Port were targeting Max Gawn in round 1 he thought it was genius

As always Kane just makes things up as he goes along.

No mention of Dursma's Arrow?

Nah, he just publicly humiliated a 13 year old girl.

And then he will cry because he's the victim. He's such a low dog.

Don't use "girl" or "13" as an excuse. 13 year old girls know right from wrong.

He literally did the exact opposite.

Oh, and the word ‘augurs’ is way too classy for use on any internet forum so everybody who uses that word can augurs tuffed. Ok? Thanks.

That is a fair point. She should know that making such a comment is incorrect. And I am sure her parents instilled this into her and never used such language in front of her. Nor did any other grown ups she has contact with.

However, should a professional athlete point such an person out and publicly humiliate them?

I never understood why it was said he was booed due to his race or calling out racism. Eddie has called out comments made to him on Twitter and we chant his name every game.
Nicky Winmar is considered a legend of the game and he publicly called out racism.

The difference is these guys did not single out a kid and make them the poster child for racism.

If it was an overage idiot hurling such abuse, go for it. But not a kid.


A follow up on the girl would be a good story to see how it affected her.

Woops my bad. I thought we were talking about Kane Cornes.

Carry on...
