    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    "Young Erin", as you call her, didn't hear anything of the sort in 2012 because she wasn't seated near anybody saying such things. You know how I know? Because I was sitting with her that time too! The vagaries of the GF seating system had us a good 10-15 rows further forward, out of earshot of...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    And to me it sounds like a conspiracy theory. I dunno why either. I remarked to Desredandwhite (who has posted elsewhere in this thread, and was also sitting with us) that I found it strange that he was getting 4G reception at times on Telstra when I wasn't, and I was sitting 30cm from him...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    So you are suggesting that I came on to Bigfooty, something I do at best infrequently, so that I could pretend to know Erin and corroborate her article?

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    A guy who has been here long enough that I'm not in the habit of making shit up to win stupid arguments with keyboard warriors on Bigfooty. Erin was at the ground because she was sitting two seats away from me.

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I'm suggesting that Erin could have been more precise with her language, though being on Twitter I'm not overly surprised that she wasn't. By all means talk about non-structural racism against whites. I'm happy to acknowledge that it probably exists, though the fact that I have to use the word...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Are you calling me a liar?

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Err, no. This is a logical fallacy. I'm not saying that casual bigotry is not a problem. Indeed, it *is* a problem and even more so when it mutually reinforces structural racism. The "take it up the ass" chant is offensive because it uses a homosexual sex act to demean a (at least ostensibly)...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Actually, I did try to do one thing. When the flogs were continuing to sing through their own captain's acceptance speech I turned and shouted at them to at least show him the respect of listening, as I was trying to do. In return I copped abuse and threats. And I repeat, attacking the...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I'm sorry, I'm not trying to call you a misogynist or a racist. It's clear that your objections to the article are at least beyond the knuckle-dragging we see on much of this thread. I have been quoting you but addressing a wider class of posts in my responses and I apologise if that was...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    No, I didn't. There were Victoria Police, security guards and MCC attendants whose job it was to police the crowd. I was watching a game of football.

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Go searching through all 10,000 of my posts here on BF and you'll find some stupid comments I've said at times too. I'd be astonished if you didn't, since I started posting here when I was 15 years old. I would say this, though. For all that Erin might enjoy seeing shirtless footballers, they...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Again, I'm a bit too sickened by this thread to want to engage fully. But in a sport that is famous for the on-field brilliance of its Indigenous players do you not find it curious that none of them have ever broken into the media bubble that surrounds it? Maybe I'm forgetting somebody (perhaps...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I'm not really here to engage with whether it's a good article. I happen to disagree but it's not really the point. I've been on Bigfooty longer than Erin has been following the sport, so I'm not exactly a blow-in and if I say something I mean it. I'm only here to tell you all that no amount of...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I will do no such thing. If you want to intimidate and vilify somebody you can do it yourself. Just have Erin's courage and do it under your own name, you gutless wonder.

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I was sitting with Erin at the game. If anything, she's understated the experience. I got to page two of this thread. It's pretty much exactly as I expected, and is probably the last Bigfooty thread I shall ever read.

    Opinion Who should be the SUB? - 2014 Grand Final Edition

    Leaving Sam Reid out of the team for yet another mid (however good that mid is) is a bit like saving $50 by not taking out travel insurance on a trip to Bali. Minimal payoff, massive consequences if something goes wrong. Sam plays.

    Preview 2014 AFL Grand Final - Sydney vs Hawthorn, MCG, 2.30pm, Saturday Sept 27th

    It's one of those free refill deals, I think. There's as much cola in the glass as suits the argument at the time. They're a glass half empty bunch, this lot.

    Is a better (albeit different) player than Gary was at the same age and stage of his career.

    Unofficial Preview Early Thoughts - Sydney Swans vs Hawthorn Grand Final Edition

    I don't understand the hostility to Dean Towers among Swans fans. He didn't star but he's played six matches, you wouldn't expect him to. He may seek further opportunities elsewhere, but I hope he-resigns. We may well be about to lose both Rhyce and Mal.

    Your Bitter Sweet Scenario

    Swans win the flag. Spanghertang carves it up for the Hawks.

    Who wins the flag?

    This. My biggest concern at this stage is that playing against the Hawks might be in Buddy's head a little. if it's Swans vs Hawks the biggest moment of the match is whether he nails his first one.

    Hawthorn Prelim Start Time

    The SCG was undergoing a redevelopment at the time and capacity was only 34,000. You guys really do need to get over the 2012 prelim thing. You couldn't have fitted *that* much extra kicking practice into the extra 20-odd hours, could you?

    Grand Final Ticket Ballot (Swans Posters Only)

    My sister and her husband have a full Melbourne membership and live in the ACT. So yes. That is what I would have done in your situation.

    Grand Final Ticket Ballot (Swans Posters Only)

    It's a problem because other people are being deprived of rights they have paid for in order for you to get access you haven't paid for. Fact. There will be more passionate Swans fans who want to go to the Grand Final than there will be tickets available for them. I don't doubt your devotion...

    Grand Final Ticket Ballot (Swans Posters Only)

    This doesn't go far enough. I believe it's unethical to 'recycle' barcodes. It deprives the Club of income and it deprives other members of the rights they've paid for. As you say, we can't control what others do. I just hope they understand that when they give their barcode away to somebody it...

    Grand Final Ticket Ballot (Swans Posters Only)

    Not the ballot, per se, but you will need to register on Wednesday morning if we win today. Premiership Club is Category 1. The barcode will be the same as the one on your membership card. So your only worry is the unlikely event that somebody tries to shark your ticket.

    Grand Final Ticket Ballot (Swans Posters Only)

    Alert them ASAP, because if somebody else opened your mail and was of a mind to use the barcode there's nothing stopping them from doing so.

    Grand Final Ticket Ballot (Swans Posters Only)

    It's nothing personal, mate, and I sincerely hope you get to the GF on your Category 3 ticket. I just don't see why you should get a leg-up on other people when you haven't paid for it, purely for being on Bigfooty.

    Grand Final Ticket Ballot (Swans Posters Only)

    Sorry to interrupt, but this is really unfair and you shouldn't do this. I'm Premiership Club so I have absolutely no fear of not getting a ticket. But people pay for the privilege of higher ballot priority well before they know if it will ever be used. If you don't use your Category 2 rights...

    Gumby Retires :(

    I think a downgrade of chips could get this done. How about Jetta + Fremantle's choice of Red Rock Deli flavours for a fun sized packet of Coles brand cheese and onion? (In all seriousness, best wishes to Gumby for better luck in his next career).
