    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    Don't muddy the waters, this isn't the "bash a poster who you don't agree with" thread. I've explained why I felt the poster was inferring something. I've used my eyes to see the vast (almost 100%, if not actually all) majority of those I'm arguing with are Swans supporters. You clearly have...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    I copied and pasted what was posted. I realize you didn't post it, but saying I'm being "hysterical" by being unhappy about being called racist, yet reading the quote it's very hard not to make the connection. I'm having an opinion. It may not be the same as yours, and you may disagree with...

    Not at all. The quote was as follows: "The fact that people spend so much energy finding ways to question how he delivers his message supports the view that it is about what he says, not how he says it." Please state if your intention was different than the interpretation, and if so, what was...

    So you don't barrack for Sydney, then?

    The intentions behind your comment was very clear. Should I quote it again?

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    What are you expect "The Europeans" means? It was, at worst, a poor choice of words, and I find the defense of the indefensible here becoming rather more and more hysterical, and forcing me into a box that I patently do not fit into to argue against an opinion I do not have, or a point I am...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    He indicated (in an article I have linked) that it was deliberately done to opposition supporters, and not the indigenous players on Carltosnteam because "they would be part of it". I have also said after that post that I felt there was no anti-white intention or malice in what he did, I...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    Here we go with the racism. If you don't fall all over yourself congratulating him, you simply MUST be a racist douchebag. :rolleyes: That opinion is tiresome, offensive and entirely incorrect and unsupportable. You can, as many others have proven, get your message across in regards to this...

    I quoted the articles already, several pages back.

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    Did you read the articles posted at all. These aren't actually my opinion or words, they are his. It's Goodes fault the issues have become controversial because he made comments that were controversial, and then backed them up. Again, read the article, it is right there in black and white (no...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    Therein lies the problem, though. Everyone is so hung up on attributing the blame and not finding the solution. Look at the "sorry" the stolen generations finally got - what did that fix? It might have been a big thing for our Government to finally acknowledge the shameful policies they...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    I am, of course, well aware that injustice is still occurring to indigenous communities, you'd have to be completely ignorant not to. The point I was trying to make is that people often search for someone to blame, a face to pin the injustice on, rather than work out a way to solve the problem...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    There is a quote indicating Goodes could not direct his dance at his aboriginal opponents because they would be "part of it". He was then asked if it was directed at white people, which he stopped short of admitting to, but his intent was clear. I am only going off what he said, and responding...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    I was incorrect in saying the quote was from Goodes AOTY speech. In fact, it was in a Sydney Morning Herald article in regards to a documentary called "Utopia", which can be found here...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    Doing the war dance at all makes no sense, in my opinion, but you would think if it were directed at anyone, it would be to his opponents on the field (as other indigenous war dances, such as the haka, are). Are you trying to say the random section of Carlton supporters are all directly...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    I'm in no way trying to make myself a victim, nor do I have any semblance of "white guilt". I'm attempting to highlight why I feel Adam Goodes is a powerful advocate for indigenous rights, but why he falls down as a champion for reconciliation. I notice you ignored the war dance point, is it...

    Bad merchandise

    Most of them end up looking like Bobby Davis! :D

    Discussion Finding your 'whale'

    Personally, I'd either call them or go down there, either on game day or even during office hours on a weekday rather than email, with VFL clubs it's probably the best way of getting a response.

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    His AOTY speech blaming all whites as rapists, murderers and land stealers? Or admitting his war dance was directed only to the whites in the crowd? There doesn't need to be "connotations", he comes right out and says it.

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    As I mentioned before, the issue most have is not Goodes message of racial inequality, which is an important one to hear. It's that he plays the blame game and creates a divide with his controversial comments. Like it or not, equality and reconciliation can be championed by indigenous people...

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    I don't agree with that assessment. To me "reconciliation" doesn't mean forgetting the past at all. It does mean being able to recognize that it is in the past and ensure something like that never happens again moving forward. While there is nothing wrong with highlighting the terrible...

    Discussion Finding your 'whale'

    Have you contacted the club? I know Port sells at least the current jumper (we only have the one, of course), left over versions from previous years plus "pre-loved" (ie worn) jumpers. If they don't sell retails of both home and away, you may find they'll sell you pre-loved ones, maybe even for...

    Bad merchandise

    They are just ugly. There are actually plush dolls now, too! Tissues, toothbrushes, nail "stickers"? What's next - toilet paper? condoms? Stop it! I don't want my teams logo on every damn thing in my house.

    Lou Richards

    Don't like many dyed-in-the-wool Collingwood people, Louie might be the only one! A huge loss for football if true. Does that mean all the League Teams boys are gone now? :cry:

    Adam Goodes awarded UNSW’s highest honour

    No problem personally with Adam Goodes, or his being awarded with an honorary doctorate. The problem is being awarded it for "reconciliation". Adam Goodes clearly does a large amount of work for the indigenous community which should be applauded, but he hardly promotes reconciliation, pretty...

    Where are St Kilda at?

    I think supporters are talking about the overall improvement in the rebuilding side being above expectations, with the stated goal of the club making and winning a Grand Final in the next 3-5 becoming clearer. Nobody is looking at certain results in isolation except you. Pretty weak troll...

    Where are St Kilda at?

    No deal. At all. Please stop this, it's becoming rather embarrassing, and that's coming from a fellow Saints supporter.

    Where are St Kilda at?

    It was my idea, and yes, it is the gap in his teeth. Though I doubt it's too original, someone else might have made the connection as well. Maybe I should put in on the FB page, the social media people are really up and about this year with the engagement.

    Holmes

    He played pretty well against the Borough, but does have a problem below his knees, as so many bigger guys do. Kicking is still a worry as well. I'd give him the rest of this year at least before we start talking about making the grade in the AFL, there are many great VFL players that get lost...

    AFL's rubbery white shorts policy

    It;s baffling why this isn't the GWS home kit. It's as nice, effective, clean and simple as a "non-traditional" design can possibly be.
