so that would be three years after apologising to Chris Lewis for being a racist?

got to love how Lewis can't be bothered with Brereton and his racism.

add this to 2013 attack on Goodes

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-05-13/brereton-launches-scathing-attack-on-goodes

add this to his on air fight with Rebecca Wilson

and this little gem of wisdom from a racist.

so all in all when you look at dimwit dermot's history he is a self confessed racist and who once said I'm sorry.

Good post.

Let's not forget the time he assumed Allen Christensen was from the top end, which appears to be an honest mistake in isolation, but stinks of the ignorance that underpins racism. No Derm, not all indigenous fellas are from the Torres Strait.

******* germ. campaigner of a human being.

When the AFL chose to outlaw the slide tackle that Adam Goodes maliciously inflicted on opponents on repeat occasions and was actually cited for, the media still called it the Lindsay Thomas rule because of an accident involving Gary Rohan.

(and yes, I appreciate you were being sarcastic, Only Forwards)
The difference being LT was going and was first to the ball and the player first to the ball is supposed to be protected. Perhaps we need the Bont to retrospectively adjudicate the intent of whatever Goodes was doing.

I dont understand, your saying the media are racist with their attention to Thomas but Goodes is treated like a saint? Surely this shows its the actions of the guy which gives him a bad name?
Goodes never got a bad run with the media, it was idiots in the stands (FWIW, I was appalled by the ongoing booing farce).

As a few have pointed out in other threads, the fact that LT's (25% of the number of high frees the most prolific duckers get) result in a set shot with plenty of time for replays and pontificating instead of play restarting quickly from the midfield or defense distorts the percetion too.

Not having that.

There were plenty on here against booing Goodes

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/dont-boo-goodes.1100202/

And the only time there was loud booing against Goodes in the final last year was when he lined up for goal, and then he got booed like every other player would in that situation.

There were some idiots who got stuck into Goodes last year during general play, but they were the minorty.
I said some. The booing of Goodes in his last game by SOME North supporters was disgraceful. I appreciate many North supporters took a stand. As some of the Bloods supporters are now over Thomas.

This is the only time I have altered my Schimma avatar. It is not something I do lightly.

But what is happening to LT is wrong and this week I want to show him how much he is loved & respected by this ardent Roo.

Who is with me?
