Details required

No details needed, just research which player married a horse.

 

[Next Gen Rookie]

Think it was before Brogan... which would mean Ginever.

Ginever's nephew wore the suit in 2001 (and maybe longer)

Of course....

I don't think it's a State Governments responsibility to keep sporting team afloat ......is that how you want you your tax dollars spent ?

There's a Tourism impact for the Gov in sponsoring Hawthorn primarily, much the same as the Australian Grand Prix ......but that's different to propping up a local team for local supporters & only one group of opposition team supporters

AFL football is one of the biggest internal tourism drivers in Australia. The Tasmanian government through Major Events sponsors two teams for the visitation it brings.

The same thing would happen if they sponsored their own side.

Jay Weatherill disagrees

As does the federal government - it's called the AIS

 

[spenze]

There was something off about the whole Cameron situation.

How so?

 

[radiojake]

Eh

I like having digs at Port but whether or not one of their players cheated on the wife is a nothing story and only concerns those directly involved

 

[Enviable Tradition]

There are only two reasons why Sloaney's contract status is news, while Ollie Wines' contract isn't:

a) The SA footy media favours Port
b) Port news isn't actually news
c) Port's "star" isn't actually a star

Pick one PAPs. Which one is it? I'm going for d) All of the above.

d) Port star will sign on and everyone knows it. Crows star will not and everyone knows it.

 

[Samcro24]

"Star"

 

[FR0GGY]

"Star"

“Buffet star”

 

[1970crow]

I don't think so.
From the AFL website

Inclusion and Vilification
The AFL industry does not tolerate vilification in any form and is committed to ensuring safe, welcoming and inclusive environments for all people involved in Australian Football.

The AFL aims to address the issue of vilification and discrimination at all levels of Australian Football through the AFL Vilification and Discrimination Policy, which states:

“No League Participant or Club Official shall engage in conduct which may reasonably be considered to incite hatred towards, contempt for, ridicule of or discrimination against a person or group of persons on the ground of their:

• Race;
• Religion;
• Gender;
• Colour;
• Sexual preference, orientation or identity; or
• Special ability or disability.”

So if called Superman a flying mother fudder on the footy field I'd be vilifying him? I've never heard of special abilities that would be subject to vilification. I genuinely wonder what they'd be.

It's because Port losing Ollie isn't sensational because it's seen as an isolated incident. Unfortunately losing Sloane is because it further fires up the question as to why we continue to lose high quality players that we're desperate to keep.

Do Jim Carrey impersonations count?

Massive. Let’s try this: Crows will win both Showdowns, beat lots of top 8 teams and compete for the minor premiership and the flag but Port won’t and everyone knows it.

And yet our list will still be better.

I guess so. "Hey Danger, nice Carrey impersonation you douche". Straight to the AFL respect and responsibility course.

No, you'd be OK, because you're a spectator, and don't appear to be covered by this policy.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How so?

Not going home. Not going for money. Not going due to lack of opportunity. Not going for better commercial prospects. Not going for success.

Pretty much all the usual reasons didn't apply

 

[fabs33]

You guys throw around words like "star", "required player" and "major sponsor" like they don't have any meaning at all.

Post based on the assumption that it's player to player. Same as my Superman post. Didn't think i needed to state it again. Sorry for the confusion.

To be fair, it’s “joint major sponsor”

I personally think the pressure of being at such a driven club got to him.

Our club is about high performance and getting the most out of yourself. That is our player culture. That is not for everyone.

It wasn't for Menzel either.

Major sponsor is a major sponsor by default and they’re still searching for another minor one to help out the other minor one so they can jointly (hopefully) make a major one.
