Isn't she the captain? By definition the girl she's groping is her subordinate. People in a position of formal authority and power can't be doing things like that.

Cmon, Cobber

Settle down, Squire

If you’re saying that no directives are given, but that the supremos at AFL house make it known, generally speaking, that it would be great for the league if some team had a great year, and that umpires and tribunal members unconsciously - not consciously - carry that message into their jobs...

How could 10 mil / year in membership sales for the Dogs possibly be worth, for Gil, risking the entire AFL, not to mention, at a minimum, being personally bankrupted by the biggest fines the world’s ever seen, or even jailed for criminal conspiracy, if he got caught? Why would someone on...

Sorry, that just doesn’t stand up to any sort of risk-reward analysis. If the league bribed or otherwise instructed umps to rig the 2016 GF, all it would take would be one whistleblower to basically kill the entire AFL. It would never recover as a business. Even from the point of view of...

I’m pretty open to considering various conspiracy theories, given that there have been historically verified conspiracies. But the conspiracy of rigging in a sport by a major organising body - other than when that body is solely a front for organised crime and associated gambling - always...

An interesting point about Vic dominance is the way that 3 Vic clubs had dynasties producing 3-4 flags each in the last 15 years. These results obviously skew the overall picture of Vic GF wins. If you think about those 3 teams, Geelong are the biggest anomaly. They had some seriously freakish...

There were heavily compromised drafts in 2010-13. This most disadvantaged teams who were in the bottom of the ladder at the time, and most advantaged teams who were at the very top of the ladder at the time. In 2010, Richmond finished 2nd bottom, but instead of getting pick 2, got pick 6. In...

Wow. What an insight. Take away a dynasty team's best player and they probably don't win as many flags. Who knew?

Bullshit. The majority of people in this thread are saying that there's no way of knowing whether consent was given or not, but that it might well have been, and so we should withhold judgment. You're the one saying that it's always and in all cases disrespectful and wrong to touch a woman's...

GFs, even more than other games, are decided by crucial moments that shape the momentum of the game. It’s a real shame NS voting is so influenced by stat sheets. If a game is effectively over at 3/4 or half time, nothing after that point should factor into NS voting IMO. Adelaide’s best...

Or Andrew Dunkley deliberately gouging Hird's face to open up bleeding, to get him off with the blood rule, then being cleared to play in the GF because the AFL are so desparate for Sydney to win flags.

Here's what I think happened, based on nothing whatsoever other than the general, default assumption that most people are a bit s**t and generally contribute in some way when something bad happens. 1. JDG and his mate are bogans and so, like uni students at a ticketed ball, grabbed 8 drinks in...

Terrible take. ‘all too often the threat is equally real’. No, it’s not. If you study the crime stats, of people murdered by a stranger, 84% are men. Of rape victims, about 95% of perps are known to the victim. In public, women might get wolf whistled, but it’s actually men who are much more...

There is some truth to this, but the advantage is closely linked to home crowd, rather than other factors, like travel. One way that this was demonstrated was a study of NBA teams, who found that when 2 teams who shared a city played (and so there was no real travel), but the home team basically...

A distinct trend? You mean like the fact that in GFs between non-Vics and Vics (all at the G), the non-Vics have a winning percentage of exactly 50?

The Beams situation, like Carey's, raises an interesting point about mental health. Some people have Personality Disorders - which could be classified as a mental health issue (technically a psychiatric diagnosis), but the main result of which (certainly for the Cluster B ones: Anti-social...

Just looked up his stats. Has not had a single season where he averaged 25 (well, he had one at 24.58), and only had 2 in his career averaging more than 23 (including the one at 24.58). He kicked 15 and 23 goals the 2 season before he broke his ankle. The 2 seasons before that he kicked 8 and 5...

To paraphrase Conor McGregor, I'm sure he'll dry his tears with his money

I heard Collingwood are actually trading Guy to the Crows for Collective Minds, who will take over as Collingwood's List Managers. When asked how they would approach back-ended player contracts, they replied they would strip them naked and tie them to trees to ensure the back-ending created...

Lol. Look at the high def video https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/jayden-short-filmed-in-fan-interaction-after-richmonds-grand-final-victory/news-story/4c6ad7d50b54aa36ccab9af01a84c234 It's clearly a watch

I snorted a watch once and can confirm it's *in shithouse

Do you think?

Sounds to me like you don't believe her 100% and acknowledge that the veracity of her claims must be tested against the usual standards of evidence. So basically you completely agree with the poster you were saying had dubious morals/values/character lol smdh

Well, they do kill themselves an awful lot might be worth thinking about socioeconomic class. Throwing out the line ‘straight white men’ tells you nothing about the difference between Malcolm Turnbull and a homeless guy who’s straight white and male.

It's relative. They were more protected than the 14 year old boys who were sent off to wars. Don't get me wrong - I'm not suggesing "protected", or relatively protected, means "great life". You look like a war buff. Did you know that the poorest 40% of the British male population had no voting...

Statistics don't actually support that though. It would be more accurate to say that throughout history, men have engaged in intense competition with each other, and excluded women from that competition. That means women have had less opportunity to accumulate wealth and power, but they have...

It was during indigenous round. There is video evidence of the school-boy indigenous group who showed Goodes that dance earlier that day/week, which he was repeating to acknowledge them. Yes, he pretended to hurl a spear at them. That must have been truly terrifying for those supporters. Why...

I believe most of the Goodes booing was racist, certainly people who objected to him doing an indigenous dance during indigenous round was. I'm very sympathetic to Goodes, but to your point, I remember listening to Triple M the morning McGuire made those comments. My immediate impression was...
