AFL Grand Final - 1 minute Applause at 20:21 in first quarter for Victorias lockdown

[Whiskers]

Is Basil a virgin?

 

[Shane Heard]

Basil is such a self-important flog. Hes the Eddie McGuire of Perth who has to have his hand in everything. TV sports presenter, morning radio host, AFL commentator, and now somehow the lord mayor of Perth.

Wish the campaigner would just fu** off.

Oui…a full blown narcissist

 

[Shane Heard]

Is Basil a virgin?

There’s children…so probably not

 

[Shane Heard]

Kmart Eddie McGuire.

more like Dimmys version

 

[Shane Heard]

All Sandgropers not attending the game should go out in their driveway and clap.

yeah nah that’s not happening

 

[Forever North]

Like we want to be reminded of our never ending misery. FMD Basil. Perth fans please just sit there and watch the game, cheer the teams, boo the umpires, have a drink and good time. Maybe put up a * off Andrews banner when the D’s or Dogs run out instead. That’ll cheer me up.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Completely cringeworthy. Sorry Victorians.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

* this campaigner is a *******. How did he ever come to be in any sort of position where people know who he is?

 

[joy division]

60,000 Western Australians stand up during a GF to clap their hands for Victoria? I think Basil is trying to take the mickey out of everyone here.

 

[Farang83150]

Uck em, why clap for the ricks.

 

[Farang83150]

I'm amazed someone who is paid to commentate on anything could open their mouth and allow something so obviously fu**in' stupid to come out of it.

You mean like McGuire?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Such a weird and cringe idea. The east side of Australia is going through enough without having us patronising them during the Grand Final on top of that.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

How about a one-minute silence for the death of the MCG grand final?

 

[jackster83]

What an absolute w***er.

AFL boss ‘blown away’ by WA with more major events for Perth flagged

An impressed AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said he underestimated the huge support WA football fans would give Saturday’s one-off grand final in Perth.

Sorry but if you want condescending....it took a GF in Perth for Gil to realise West Aussies love footy

* off

 

[Mr Experience]

Don't understand the hate that Basil gets these days. Seems like a genuinely nice guy and this is just another example of it.

Might come off as a little magoo but part of his charm imo.

Some seriously nasty people in this thread. Save it for a actual smarmy campaigner like Rompingwins or Carey.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

I know all of my problems will be fixed with the grand final crowd clapping for one minute! Spare me! What a *en wank! This is the grand final and this flog is taking the piss! Just another virtual signalling toss bag

threatening to hold back the release of national lockdown restrictions because they would rather focus on a hard border than get their people vaccinated.

I mean, our vaccination rate isn't bad at all considering how good WA has had it. Could be better but on par with QLD and was ahead of them a few days ago. The leading motivation to get vaccinated to get out of lockdown and/or ease restrictions just isn't there for us. There's a very obvious reason NSW is leading the pack followed by Vic.

I'm fully vaccinated, it's such an easy thing to do that it seems like Victoria are the one's lagging considering how bad their situation is and how long they've spent in lockdown. Perth has had 12 days in lockdown in 2021.

 

[HPKS]

You can discuss it without interrupting the game.

It is condescending as fu** when he is the mayor of the biggest city in the state which is threatening to hold back the release of national lockdown restrictions because they would rather focus on a hard border than get their people vaccinated.

WA isn’t the only place that’s talking about holding back national lockdown restrictions. Other states have looked at Victoria & NSW & look on in bewilderment that they think that living like a hermit in a cave is some type of freedom. Like you today sitting on the lounge with ya crumpets & cordial waiting for the game. Who the * wants that.

"And they're all on their feet and... wait, you don't clap with just one finger from each hand. Oh. OOOH"

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Basil now not backing down. Still going ahead. They will have something on the screen at the time for everyone to get up and start clapping

Geez he’s in for a big surprise. Talk about not reading the room or I should say the state on this one.

Last night on channel 9’s the footy show, following the backlash of supporters, Basil threw Hasleby under the bus and said it was his idea.

He's no Hitler, sure, but there are legitimate gripes to have with Megasnozz outside of his cringey public persona. E.g. his #1 priority as mayor is to forcibly kick the homeless out of the city because they smell; his transphobic comments when he legitimately forgot he was mayor; drink driving.
