Oppo Camp Non Eagles AFL discussion thread II

[RookiePick]

It's pretty easy to figure out. All you need is a little empathy and occasionally read stuff that's not written by straight white dudes. It's amazing how quickly you'll pick it up if you just put in a tiny amount of effort.

It's actually quite difficult. I really have no idea if you are taking this piss with this post or deathly serious.

Well this is a relief. I dreaded coming back into this thread and seeing more talk about AFLX. I see that we've moved to much safer and friendlier conversations about political correctness.

Wait, nationalism is good now and socialism is bad now, so what's national socialism now? Filthy neutrality?

I think National Socialism is more goose-stepping and jackboots. And call me a bleeding-heart liberal snowflake, but I am just not a fan of Nazis.

I'm not trying to be a hero, but you know - serious reservations.

Could’ve sworn this was the non eagles AFL discussion thread? Take it to the politics board. I assume there is one somewhere, not that I’d ever waste my time checking it out. Politics schmolitics

Well apparently clubs want to know sooner if players have tested positive as the AFL looks to review its drugs policy. I think this is a good idea, given it should lead to more support for the player from the club, rather than treating it as a pure health issue that only the club doctor treats.

 

[Dazzler9]

Can someone explain to me how the self reporting system works and what it’s intended purpose is.?

This is actually a pretty good effort by Melbourne to get their supporters up and about




But the first reply is gold

Harrison Nayler? Sounds like someone who would be the worst poster though

So random fact of the day, discussing the merits of names on the back of the jumpers on the main board and back in the early 1900s not everyone thought numbers on the back of jumpers was a good idea to begin with either.

Wasn't footy the first sport ever to put numbers on backs?

I heard Whately this morning ask someone if they thought a club having 16 players avoid drug tests due to mental health was a concern.

Not sure, but thought it was interesting that there was some push back on putting numbers on jumpers before the then VFL made in mandatory.

If a club has 16 players with mental health issues, the club has major problems and the club should be under investigation from work safe about providing a safe / healthy work environment. The more likely reality is 16 players have had recreational drugs and want to avoid a strike / suspension. Which is still not great, but I would think a lesser problem.

The biggest issue with the AFL drug policy is the lies and secrecy, throw in the AFL’s arrogance to think they are social trailblazers and you get the s**t storm we currently have.

I just switch off now whenever I read/hear anything by Whateley.

Just the last 12-24 months he has become even more holier than thou.

Typical SJW.....

 

[MIKE85]

So are we assuming that the club is Collingwood? With Eddie coming out so strongly and saying it’s all not true? They’ve got form with players self reporting the last few years, not to mention the contaminated steak incident. Tainted fla...... oh wait

 

[RookiePick]

I like Whately But I'm telling you, these journos are funny. First you hate 'em... then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes... you get so you depend on 'em. That's institutionalized.

You really are one of the great philosophers of the board.

Topical with a Norf player hurting himself on a shiv this week.

I'd like to think that the last thing that went through Robert Walls' head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Adam Simpson ever got the best of him.
