Was at the game. Shocking football all around. Brisbane missing 5 of best 8 players and it showed. Cannot believe the video reviewed a behind/out on the full decision. The crowd jeered but because the 'right' decision was made in the end, obviously the crowd is wrong and the 5 mins was justified ... :rainbow:

Young kids don't see any difference between any humans until they're taught to.
Not true. There has been studies which show how kids are born with an ability to discern but the brain adapts and that ability diminishes. Pretty interesting stuff about how we actually are rather than how we think or hope we are.
As parents, we may look to teachers, politicians, or religious leaders to eliminate racism. They certainly can make great contributions toward a just society, but we also have a vitally important contribution to make. We can talk openly with our children about race, ethnicity, religion, and bigotry. We can answer their questions about these complicated topics, and we can begin a dialogue that will continue throughout their lives. The quality of our children's future is at stake. In the 21st century, the ability to communicate and work with people from different racial and ethnic groups will be as essential as computer skills.

We already one of the most diverse societies in the world. Our children will inherit an even more diverse society. We need to help them learn to live and work closely with people whose race, religion, or culture may be different from their own.
By speaking openly about similarities and differences between people, we can raise children whose lives are not constricted by fear. By joining with them to recognize and talk about discrimination, we will help our children become adults who work to end it. By encouraging our children to reach across racial and ethnic lines, we will enable them to lead richer, fuller lives and to recognize the humanity of all people.

Some my say:
"I'm not prejudiced. I treat all people with respect and dignity, and I expect my children to do
Unfortunately, it is not enough to set a good example. Nor can we shield children from bigotry. A society that continues to discriminate against racial and ethnic groups nurtures prejudice in each new generation.
If we avoid these subjects with our children, we actually run the risk of strengthening prejudices we want them to reject. Children are barraged by images and ideas we don't control-on the playground, on television, and in school. However free from prejudice we may be, our children, even very young children, can absorb the biases they encounter outside of our homes.

At one of our games they vid reviewed a oof in the forward pocket. The two options were a throw in or a defensive kick in. Staggering ??

Also, T.Greene needs to work on his disposal. It's sufficient as an inside midfielder, but playing off the half back flank he is burning it.

I think that is the point of him playing HBF this season. I heard one of their coaches interviewed a few weeks back & they made comment to the effect that his inside game & defensive game were good but they wanted to develop his attacking game to complement & were playing him HBF to do so. Something along these lines anyway. I guess the above includes his disposal to a target & when not under pressure.

Paul Roos is a Sydney flog
It's embarrassing to listen to.

Hopefully the Crows can knock off Freo here.

Freo are a serious threat this year, wouldn't want them in the finals at all.
Cracking finish. Freo are excellent. Adelaide's home record is anaemic to say the best.

At least Eddie's parochial call was a choice this is unbelievable by Roos i don't know how this is allowed he is clearly barracking all you're hearing his "special comments poor old hudson can't even call the game properly
Anyone else find it conveniently odd that Roos always seems to get the Swans games on his commentary schedule?

I thought it quite fitting that Goodes slid in feet first to kick his last goal... No need for the goal review, he was a dead certainty to make contact with something below his knee
