No Oppo Supporters 2025 AFL General Discussion

[anotherletdown]

Just to be consistent can we now start a thread on players of Italian descent and their behaviour patterns. Its like a groundhog day around here.

What Stereotype do I get? South African mother English father. Moroccan, English, Rhodesian and French grand parents, go back one more generation and you can throw in Belgian and German - Marxist exile and Jewish.
Any ideas?

He bashed a woman. With a belt.

After being supported through earlier indiscretions.

Being indigenous cannot be used as a basis to excuse it.

Failure to sack Taylor would have sent an awful message.

It's not a matter of excusing it, it's a responsibility to work harder on indigenous players if issues arise for their sake and the clubs. It's a win win for the club and player if they can turn a person like him into a better human. Displacement and the introduction of a capitalist society is why they are in the position they are, that's why they have so many support mechanisms these days, it's the least that can be done to right the wrongs that have occurred over history. Whether we like hearing it or not, majority of the indigenous communities shortcomings are a direct result of poor upbringings due to their displacement.

I'm sorry but the previous indiscretions of Taylor's are not even worthy of mentioning.

It wouldn't have been a poor message at all. It would have been admirable for the club to play a hand on setting him straight, especially if it ended up working out and Taylor became a better person as a result of that effort. I fail to see how that outcome would be in any way a negative or bad look. And if it still didn't work out, then he'd be out the door and the end result would've been no different anyway.

It is what it is anyway, what happened happened it's been done to death, everyone has drawn their opinion on the matter.

Story in the paper today how the Silvagni's used their wealth to suppress the rape charges on Tom , employed two different sets of Kings council to hide it .

I'd be proud of that. I'd call myself a mongrel.

Finally realised that Tom Silvagni was the person convicted last week for rape , dumb####

You think being accused, found guilty and convicted of raping someone is dumb ? That's not dumb its despicable, disgusting, reprehensible or any other words that fit the crime. Dumb is not one of them.
Dumb is when Matt Roberts grabs the ball in defense, panic kicks it into the arms of an opposition and watches it sail back over his head through the goals.

Foxtel broadcasting “greatest ever matches: 2016 Grand Final Sydney vs Western Bulldogs”.

Foxtel can get in the bin.

They have been for a number of years now DQ. In fact the maggots on top of the bin is testament to it.

Story in the paper today how the Silvagni's used their wealth to suppress the rape charges on Tom , employed two different sets of Kings council to hide it .

Unfortunately St Kilda aren't in a position to pass any sort of judgment down onto Stephen Silvagni, given their senior coach sexually harassed a female staffer and is still in the job.

I imagined putting myself in the position of the Silvagnis as parents.

If (and I acknowledge I don't know the full story) I, as a parent, genuinely believed my child was innocent, I'd likely have done the same thing.

I actually feel sorry for Steve & Jo. As parents, they'd be going through hell through no fault of their own.

And they had someone tampering kids in the little league , one of went on to play at the top level and they are doing nothing about it and they know it happened , they are a disgrace . The same person was a teacher and did it at his school as well

I believe there has been a couple of cover ups in the past and pay offs

But we have had 05 , 12 and the 96 Pelim lately. I want the 05 Prelim when we smashed St Scum

Was at that Prelim. Saints fell apart in the last quarter. Had a bit of a sick feeling on the way home about Big Bad missing the GF.
