His Facebook does not show any evidence of him being a port fan, and the photo on there is a ****ing meme of a dude with disabilities. That woman should shut the **** up and has no idea what she a talking about.

Clearly a troll account that likes “Port Power” highly doubtful this is a real person...

Fair call, I’ll delete my post.

Big money?

Um?

Yes, Rocklegs is on big money.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Oh boy here we go.

The Adelaide Football Club strongly condemns any form of racial vilification and considers such behaviour abhorrent and disgusting.

An offensive social media comment directed at one of our players reinforces the need for everyone to play a role in eradicating racism from not just our game but the wider community.

Crows CEO Andrew Fagan said it was disturbing that racism still existed in football and society, adding that sport should be about bringing people together whether they be players, coaches, administrators or fans.

Now that everyone knows that Eddie bites, it’s very easy to anonymously lay bait. A vicious cycle that is unlikely to end.

Have a look in the comments. Essendon supporter goes with the banana emoji and his mate with a monkey. What the **** is wrong with people?

Port's approach to supporting indigenous people = widely acknowledged league leading community programs over many years, host afl all-stars indigenous summit. Seek to educate and collaborate.

Crows' approach: Call the media drones and have Fagan write a strongly worded public statement every so often condemning racism. Seek to blame.

Loves getting on his high horse but god help him if he ever needs to get his hands dirty.. tokenism at its finest.

Lord help us if there was an article written any time one of our ~8 lads was racially abused. Just come along to an SANFL game and there'd be enough content to write a book.

My concern is that there can't be such a strong response to every single little comment. As bad as it is, there are ****wits that just don't care about this shit and will make accounts just to drop these sorts of things. Sometimes even made to plant the blame on certain people or footy clubs.

This shouldn't be about assigning blame, it should be about education and I hope the media take that route, which we know we can't trust them to do. If it's a fake account made to incriminate a club, they'll just run with it. More clicks that way.

In a way, the less air you give these cretins the less likely it is they'll bother doing it. They know what they are doing is wrong, so does everyone else - but they do it anyway. These people you have to learn to ignore.

I don’t think these people like being called out and having the sun shone all over them.

Some might, most wouldn’t IMO

I don't doubt that, but this guy appears to have fake accounts.

Then this bloke just throws this into the mix. Holy **** how dumb are people.

Tom McCartin at Sydney is apparently having serious concussion issues and hasn't trained for some time. Evidently serious enough to be season threatening or even career threatening.

That would be a really sad outcome. He looked an amazing talent in 2018.

Concussion issues genetic?

Yet, Jenni Woods - a 100% confirmed Crows member - can write what she did about Kane on an official Crow fans facebook page with no consequence at all.

While I actually agree with what AF has written here - a few words taking the moral high ground really isnt the solution to the problem IMO.

I am skeptical as to weather this is even a real person let alone an actual Port supporter... I wouldnt be one bit surprised if it was a Crow supporter with a troll account just stirring shit!

We have to speak up... because the day we don’t speak up for things that matter is the day our freedom truly ends. It starts with every single one of us drawing a line in the sand and saying enough is enough

i did not see your club speak up for the hate post on Kane Cornes. Hypocrites of the highest order. I could go on about your club’s hypocscy, especially as it is trying to get sound bites off of Eddie, but a waste if time. It would be somewhat tragic if it turns out to be staged.

Social media is the worst. Some people just shouldn't be given a voice. Calling it out and splashing it all over the media only serves to legitimise these people and make them seem like they are something more important than the dumb ass losers that they actually are.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Oh Boak, seriously?

Oh Boak, seriously?

I can’t remember who, a player, it may have been Danger, had a revealing discussion with Hutchy and Liam Pickering on SEN on Saturday morning which essentially pointed out the player arrival runway as something that isn’t yet being promoted or flogged.

It’s coming.

 

[Road Scholar]

Let's be frank here, the motivation appeared far more to have been driven by the opportunity to go on a self indulgent ego-trip.

Don’t stop there.

I've noticed that Robbie Young has turned heads in the Saints trial match. Really hope he kills it in the JLT and starts off in that side.
liked him while he was at the magpies, thought he had that bit of x factor about him.
