LOL at anonymous schmoes on the internet calling people snowflakes.

Pretty much the size of it. A basically useless term except in a Finbar Saunders “fnurr-fnurr-I-called-that-SJW-an-SJW” kind of way. So basically an open admission the poster is incapable of engaging with the issue at hand.

They're not being used as quotation marks in this instance. Hmm, I'm scratching my head to fathom how you and I could have such different interpretations of the same word. What in Giant Brain's contributions on here hasn't been "sweeping"? Calling anyone who takes issue with him/her an...

A few people suggesting Barry and the boys "forgot where they were". Hard to credit, given that one attribute that every champion Aussie Rules player has to possess in spades is spatial awareness. We all know, however, that retired footballers tend to decline alarmingly fast, so, as someone...

No, of course you weren't. Sorry to have caused you minor discomfort. I'm not taking "sides" in this debate and I don't care whose "side" anyone else is on. We're discussing a serious subject, that's all I'm interested in here, and IMO posting GIFs with single word captions like it's some sort...

Nice to see you can actually write; things are looking up. But I see you’re incapable of bringing yourself to define SJW either. Funny that such an apparently widely-accepted term causes so much discomfort for its users. And if you’d troubled to look back through the posts from Giant Brain...

Typing actual words formed into a convincing argument is beyond you clearly. I for one will always be swayed by the posting of a random jpeg accompanied by a word that some anonymous schmoe thinks is an argument-clincher.

Think if you read it more closely you’ll realise that poster was having a go at the “here come the PC crowd again” crowd.

You shouldn’t give away that your every contribution on this thread is predicated on sweeping, unsupportable stereotyping of anyone who disagrees with you. (It doesn’t really “undo” your whole thing; my thesis is that it is your whole thing.) Evidenced in this case by the fact that not only am...

So, let me check I have this straight; I'm not sure I'm following your logic: the definition of "SJW" is that if people call you an SJW, then you're an SJW? Yet you bandy that term about with gay abandon giving every indication it actually means something. Surely if you believe in something...

Good to hear mate.

No, sorry I asked you to usefully define the term "SJW". All you've done here is describe it according to your worldview.

Do define "SJW" in any useable sense before proceeding further.

Of late I'm seeing a lot more of the "out come the easily offended PC brigade" brigade. They give every impression of having little to offer beyond shallow labelling. (They were curiously absent, however, during the waves of indignant right-wing outrage that followed Scott MacIntyre's, or...

Cancer of the soul, was it?

We’re all enormously relieved to hear that news.

Your anonymity is no shield for my embarrassment for you.

This.

I like him.

As a viewing experience the Brownlow is unsalvageable. Can't for the life of me understand why anyone would even tune in to begin with.

I've hated them since 2012, when they cut midway through Malceski's celebration run with all his teammates piling on top of him, to a bunch of Swans punters watching the game down at Darling Harbour.

I thought Simon_Nesbitt's post above was simply outstanding. (Not that I understood most of it. Just goes to show why I don't play footy.)

I was being flippant. But as raised by another poster, there are so many uncontrollable variables in Aussie Rules that there is possibly more of a random element to our game than some other sports, that suggests to me that the playbooks get frequently thrown out the window.

Might it be due to the fact that nobody, from the coaches to the players to the fans to the commentators, has AFI WTF is really going on out there on the paddock?

I think he's great. Very lively. About the only criticism I have of him is when Matty Richardson was needling him about his utterly wrongheaded prediction that Swans premiership player Mike Pyke would never have an AFL career, instead of just admitting he was wrong and copping it on the chin...

Thanks, I just clarified my post too.:thumbsu:

It's a matter of the deepest everlasting regret to me that I never got to see the great Roy Cazaly in action. Will always make me feel like my opinion on any footy discussion is questionable. Seriously, feel free to continue with your baseless stereotypes of Sydney fans but please understand...

Gee, that's funny, not saying I don't believe you but I heard Harvey a couple of months ago on ABC radio commenting on a game and I was really impressed with his insights and fairness. Maybe these guys have some little game going unknown to us and just take turns taking the piss out of the...

Yes, quite unlike Collingwood President Eddie McGuire who also works as a game caller apparently. When Tex Walker got a season-ending injury in a game that didn't even involve Sydney, that was McGuire's cue to link it all to an extended rant about Sydney's CoLA. Rool classy.

Some fair points here, but a sense of perspective please. It's not like he's also the current president of one of the 18 AFL clubs. It's not like he uses a season-ending injury to one of Adelaide's stars as a cue to offer at considerable length his club president opinion on AFL policy...
