Is the AFL stupid enough to try and ban booing?

Or perhaps after being given a more than fair jump start the Suns could actually learn to be a half decently run sporting organization for once. Then again this is the AFL, who will just keep throwing concessions at this basketcase of a club until they can manufacture some half respectable...

It can't be. You can't have the Demons & Devils play in the same competition. Tassie is a bit unlucky here. Two of the most logical nicknames for them are already taken. Tasmania Rams?

No chance of the GF being at the MCG this year. Just give it to Perth.

Yes they should, and no, they don't have the heritage round anymore.

I can't believe this is still an issue. Imagine being so arrogant to believe you can join a competition and wear the same colours and similar jersey to a team that had been a part of that same competition for around 100 years. If Port want to wear the prison bar guernsey full time then they...

Thousands of people are going to die. Millions of people are going to undertake severe financial hardship but the AFL got a bit of exposure for 2 weeks in the US. Totally worth it then, am i rite? Some of you are ******* unbelievable

Geelong 2007 was better than this Tigers team so this GSW effort would have to be the worst on that list.

Marlion Pickett will get a premiership metal today. Jack Graham will not. The type of people who still argue for this are the type who just hate change no matter what. It's a stupid tradition. I can't think of many other sports that do it.

Obviously it is but the AFL has always been an uneven competition. You don't have to follow it. That's why I stopped going to matches

You stated that violence against women was rapidly on the rise. Nothing you posted there proves that you are right. I am still waiting for that proof.

Proof? Because violent crime has been going down for awhile now.

I was talking about from a large scale of the crowd, not from a number of incidents you could count on your fingers on one hand. Robinson probably got more racist abuse in one game than Goodes has received in his whole career and handled it about 1000 times better, but then again Robinson was a...

I've changed my position on this. I'm against the booing now, only because it's the only way to stop this complete and other wankfest for Goodes over the last fortnight. It's just unbearable now. I'd hate to see how Goodes' would have reacted if he had received the kind of actual racist abuse...

Let me tell you, it doesn't consist of booing. More like racist insults and throwing objects onto the field like bananas... you know, real racism.

That's because Goodes is a thin skin, egotistical w***er who can't handle the fact that there are people out there who don't actually think he's the greatest thing ever. If he can't handle simple booing then I don't see how he can ever enter a career in politics.

No club in Europe has ever been forced to play behind closed doors because parts of their crowd were simply booing ffs. The Pro-Goodes camp just keeps on embarrassing themselves.

Fighting? Right now he looks like he has run off and hid and got his bully mates to do the fighting for him. Comparing actual racism to getting booed. ******* embarrassing

Huge parts of the crowds are not yelling racial slurs at him, they're booing him. It's Adam's thoughts that are irrelevant since he is clearly wrong.

He isn't though, so it doesn't actually matter if he thinks it is because it clearly isn't. It's booing, not racist insults. I've seen plenty of athletes cop far worse. If the Pro-Goodes side had just come out the first time and respectfully asked the booing to slow down because it was...

And the pro Goodes side just don't get it. This is just throwing more fuel on the fire.

And it looks like you're on the same side with a first class flog like David Penberthy, who has declared pretty much every one who dislikes Goodes is a massive racist. Thanks for informing us what thousands of people think and feel, even if they don't know it David. Bolt's got some serious...

Ladies and gentlemen, you have just had a quick look into the twisted and demented mind of a Social Justice Warrior. To any normal person when they look at that picture just see people giving their tips for a game, if one of them happened to be an aboriginal it wouldn’t have made any difference...

Of course, domestic violence against children is a bigger issue than domestic violence against adults but apparently since it was your mother abusing you it isn't as important if this latest campaign is anything to go by...

He still isn't responsible for it since he wasn't actually there. Get it in your head already.

As if the International Rules wasn't already a joke of a concept, the AFL stepped it up a notch. If this is the best they're coming up with then just let it die already. And I love it how if you dare disagree with this you're clearly a yob racist of course. Using race as a selection criteria...

The USA has a far, far bigger talent pool than here. Franklin would be nothing special over there.

I'm not sure why we'd just "lol" at him. The guy was paid a few million to play at the highest level of a sport that he had never played before nor cared about. He made out like a bandit. There's only one complete clown here and that's AD.

Based on what?

I think it's pretty clear by this thread that the guy lives on another planet. Football has only ever been seriously played in one country for its entire existence and no matter how great people on this site may think it is - the prospect for any real expansion now are so remote they bare not...
