Can all the closet racists pls leave race out of this. Your projections are showing..

No, but you're nearly there - I believe the rap sheet shouldn't be ignored just BECAUSE she's trans. But I'll help you along - if the counter argument beyond simply "herp derp blerrr bigot" is one of the fact that other coaches with similar charges have still been able to coach then that is...

Why am I a bigot? Do I have to be comfortable with it? Trans people can do what they like, I'm being honest and saying it's not for me in order to be intellectually honest while debating the subject that possibly because Laidley is trans that a whole rap sheet that should have NOBODY in a...

Ok allow me to state it a different way - is there a solid reason apart from wanting to look ultra progressive in a certain area - to overlook the very obviously bad reasons to not consider Laidley as coach. And yes I am not caucasian. Being from a certain culture I am not as comfortable with...

Didn't know that but yeah I don't think he should be coaching at all then either. Whataboutism when it comes to these types of crimes is loony bin territory reasons to give someone a coaching gig over young females. But that's just my 2c - seems to be upsetting some ppl..

Not what I'm saying - I'm saying there are very good reasons for her not to coach. Be careful you might blow a fuse.

^ Yeah I get that actually. But in this case if we're actually pretending to consider her for the role I can't think of any other reason though. That rap sheet I ain't good. Stalking is srs business and we want to give Laidley access to all these girls? Let alone the meth and the media circus...

Why is it a no brainier?.... apart from woke points or whatever....

Ftfy

DeGoey drunk partying overseas during the bye was always going to be newsworthy considering his past - especially with a potential future me-too inducing breath exposure. THIS!? This is insane that it's even hit the news at all. Absolutely bizarre. It literally involves a fictional person and...

Well it's kiinda like putting training wheels on a toddlers bike I guess. I dont care either way - but when it contention maybe a some ground rules for your May / DeGoey / B.Smith types just for the playing season is the way to go to make sure you have them available for crucial matches. (let's...

I couldnt care less. Just find it amusing that anyone would wonder how the media wouldnt pounce on a two time accused sexual assault superstar apparently exposing a woman's breast in public. I mean even just him drinking in bali was always going to get media scrutiny. The scrutiny was already...

Well if we're you're referring to the 'ongoing' nature of it then I'm sure we've had more pathetic non-story's than one that involves two alleged sexual assaults followed by a public exposing of a woman's breast. It's a move along nothing more to see here for now but to suggest there wouldn't...

I get how it's a story and the media will cover it regardless but yeah at the same "De Goey looks like a douche in a club" is a non story. If I was Collingwood I would have had a non-drinking ban during in-season and various other restrictions considering what has transpired. But since they...

AFL media? Pretty sure this was De Goey's own cameraman (ie his friend) filming him AND uploading to the public. Can hardly blame the AFL media for this one.

Complete non-story. JDG out on the piss in bali. Deerrrr What did anyone think he would be doing? Yoga and meditation? However the reality is Jordan de Goey is a walking story waiting to happen, and it will happen in a scenario just like this, but what can you do ban a guy in his 20s from...

"you may not like it" - I'm just telling you how it is haha not how I think it should be. I'm not in need a role model myself haha. I've never argued once that them playing sport well isn't the most important part of their job - I've never heard of a player being drafted for being a good role...

All that is fair enough and I agree with you. I still say however the solution is to teach greater resilience and character. And that life has choices and certain actions often have certain consequences - cos life is generally a tough gig. I would choose options 1 and 2 over 3. Let's not open...

That's not entirely true. AFL is a business before it's a sport - that's not a bad thing, there's a reason Bailey is getting paid 1000s of dollars, it's because AFL is a business. So if the AFL player enjoys the $$$s he might need to get realistic that a little more is involved than simply...

If it's genuine discussion that you want then I'll engage. I'm not upset, just hold a different position than you. Of course I am all for you supporting ppI just dont think that the support you're talking about works. That's my opinion. If you actually care, I'll write it out and explain it...

So then why pull the mental health card? You're obviously not that passionate about it - you're just passionate about the Bulldogs, which is fine. So release a leave Brittney alone style video and be done with it. At least Collingwood posters know Dayne Beams is. And I've never seen Carlton...

Why aren't all these dogs supporters ever in the Dayne Beams threads (or any Ben cousins, Daniel Kerr threads) defending them too since they are such player welfare advocates?

Legalising drugs won't stop workplaces having their own drug policies though. As an employer I'll take the non-drug user thanks. Does that make me a hypocrite because I used drugs in my teens/20s? Sure but still the reality. Financially speaking the AFL have no choice to sanction him. You...

Barely anyone wants him punished. Seems most posters are here to simply express that they think he's a tool. And to express their disdain at him pulling the mental health card rather than just saying "yeah, soz about that. My bad." I assume it's ok for me to think someone who may have...

Well whatever 'progressive' method we're trying in 2022 is working a treat also right? Give me the "man up" philosophy over the "Let's let 3 year old choose their own bedtime" philosophy anyday..

I think you might be in a Western Bulldogs bubble with this claim... He's not even the most recognisable face in your team, let alone the game Ever heard of Dustin Martin? Dangerfield? Petracca? Gawn? Hawkins? Buddy? etc I could go on.

Man we've needed you in all the benny cousins, kerr and west coast 2006 threads!! For the record though - I dont think anyone really considers him a tall poppy. I mean we're talking about the guy regarded as chief mummys boy draft tamperer around here

Ok gotcha, and I agree. As a brown-skinned person I actually find some of the 'helpful' or 'compassionate' white ppl to be the most racist. Whether they realise it or not they are basically they are trying to say that caucasians are incredibly resilient and can handle anything but other ethnic...

To be fair - some of us dont know the full story - have only read the 2 examples. The first example of the ripped jeans sounds like it was unappreciated but is the most common, lame, dad joke that is always used by dorky boomers in a friendly way. And the second example is so terrible (the use...
