A larrikin was a thug: a hooligan, a standover merchant in the impoverished subculture of urban Australia. A man who behaved in a very rude, offensive & sometimes violent way. Thats what a larrikin is. The word has been skewed and misrepresented as “mischievous”
Val Keating - you have been summonsed.

Blighty coaching North was wrong timing for all concerned. I think he would have been sensational a little later on after he had retired. But we will never know.

He can and should've taken over after Pagan. I know it was floated and he knocked us back. That would've been awesome though.
 
Not sure that would have been one of those occasions. Is it "virtue signalling" if it's a genuinely and passionately held belief?
That's an interesting question. Virtue signalling used to be done in religious congregations to maintain particular social structures. Basically people would virtue signal that they weren't larrikins.
 
In all seriousness, considering the enormous contribution made by indigenous footballers for decades, it's quite remarkable none of them get a gig like this.

Bingo and Tony Armstrong is great to listen to.
 
And if you think Hester is wrong this was the line up for the Footy Show before it was cancelled

An unfunny comedian, a female, a piss wreck who is lucky he isn’t in prison and a tennis player.

1/4 played footy at the highest level. The one who did is a moron.

None of them were indigenous.

And the best footy show was the Marngrook Footy Show. None of the bullshit that supposedly passes for entertainment, no agendas, just talking footy.

Isnt it ironical that a "purists" footy show like Marngrook was canned for "budgetary reasons" even though it was commentating on arguably the most viewed sport in Australia. And channel 9 flushed thousands on cretins like Fevola and Lehmann who are frankly carnival acts.
