Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

[Sunny Land]

I think what history shows is that, if left to the players to mediate, nothing will change. It took a few brave players speaking out and not leaving it on the field for any significant progress being made around racial abuse.

That's what I am trying to communicate. None of the players condone this or any other situation like this. Education as well as teammates letting them know this is unacceptable behaviour is a good place to start with making this place a better one.

If none of the players condoned it, it wouldn't keep happening. If there were a solid base of players letting them know it was unacceptable there'd be out gay players in the men's game by now. And you've been advocating a general principle here when that is there's far, far less of a base in (insert random third-division pub league here).

You are advocating a position which will mean that nothing will change.

Ok, that's not entirely true. You're advocating a position which will make the situation a whole lot worse, because we are currently living through a massive, coordinated Nazi backlash which actively is making everything worse.

Nazi backlash. What shit are you dribbling here?

Got up early this morning and checked the Suns v Port result, can not believe the Suns blew such an important game, however reading through this thread sounds like they were shafted by the umpires.

I do find it humorous that they lost though, I do not have any "2nd favourite" sides just sides that I dislike more or less than others, Suns are one of the teams I dislike more albeit not quite up there with the likes of the Pies, Bombers, Blues, Dogs and Port on my dislike ladder.

 

[Nuggo]

Is 5 weeks too harsh, absolutely. Does that make Rankine the victim here - no.

Sometimes I wish sporting leagues would just deal in their designated sport rather than trying to be the high judge on moral and social boundaries - AFL seem to do this more than other codes. Perhaps it is necessary.

If this is a legitimate response, then in all honesty you need to change wherever you are getting your news.

These lunatics are literally organising street marches for next weekend - and are proudly owning the fact that they are Nazi's. The police have said they won't stop them at this point.

And if they are brave and bold enough to hold public marches you can bet there are many many more not so brave - yet.

This is far from isolated. This is where the world is heading. The US in particular is making this more and more acceptable every day.

Dude you really need to check where you're getting your information from. You've been brainwashed. You probably work for the government and believe everything they tell you.

Just read Umberto Eco’s 14 points and draw your own independent conclusions.

Then this thread can go back to being about footy.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Here's hoping for a nice upset in a few games today. A Richmond and St Kilda win would be ideal.

LDU is a massive hack. He’s on big money - well over a million - and his skills are trash. I love to see it I really do.

Norf is where B+ players go to be worshipped and paid like superstars.

LDU's best attribute is blind turning into tackles then doing a complicated maneouver to get a handball out, causing a turnover. Looks sick though!

My favourite version of Shinboner shit posting I've ever seen in the wild was at gather round in 2023 where a norf fan on the hill near me yelled out "LDU is better than you Cam!" as Joe kicked his 6th and the margin extended to 80 points, lmao.

 

[Elixuh]

please tell me someone just saw that LDU passage. No confidence to hit 4m handball so goes himself, kicks it into defender but gets back in rebound, shanks kick ob on full. HACK.

Elite according to some North fans. If they'd lost the final game in 2017 they could have picked Rayner. Cam dodged a bullet there.

I've got too much respect for myself to watch a norf game, sorry.

Luckily for you I don’t.

Clarko is allowed down on the bench again and is doing his usual fake enthusiasm routine. When the game eventually turns he’ll abuse an ump and we will come full circle.

#sleepyclarko watch is probably the only interesting thing about this game.

The cats backline is so well suited to teams that just bomb it in long. I think that's why when we're playing our style of footy it has decent results against them.

Can't believe they have another non-competitive opponent. Hopefully it won't help them next game.

It's a nice training Gallop on the MCG..to be fair I think Richmond are competing well enough out of the middle but are getting smashed at either end of the ground

 

[braddsey]

Hopefully the absolute lack of a credible opposition for the past 6 weeks will leave them over confident in their own attacking game-plan, and lacking ability to switch to a more defensive game plan when required.

The last time the Crows finished on top they brought out this doozy

 

[M Malice]

The Crows have not looked that impressive the last 3 rounds against the Eagles, Pies and Kangaroos, I would not be surprised if Collingwood beat them in the QF.

I raised whether the crows should do this again this finals series on the mainboard, touchy subject with crows fans

I think the Crows should go with this if they make it this season >
