Page 10 of the Hun today; Victorian Gender and Sexuality Commissioner Rowena Allen says she has 'never felt safe at the football'... Is she serious?!

Has she been?
Or is she one of these flogs who calls the soccer football?
My wife feels safe ( and she's insecure at the best of times ), and i often see groups of young kids, boys AND girls who seem to look comfortable.

I've seen security come down on people, and they come down hard and fast.

I think Rowena's acting a little precious.

Rowena's background:

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/f...-and-gender-commissioner-20150828-gj9zo3.html

Doesn't seem to be on a witch hunt like many minority-identified public figures these days, just standing up for rights and recognition.

How does Nick Suban still get a game let alone have other teams after him.

Averages 13 touches a game.
Has right throughout his career, never really improved.
Doesn't kick many goals, not good at anything really.

Should have been delisted years ago, but Ross saw a strong senior body & thought 'hey, he's perfect to be one of my minion role players & stifle the development of someone far more talented but too young'

Really is amazing to look at that Freo team & see that Ross still believes that Suban, Mzungu, Mayne, Clarke & even De Boer are best 22 players.... **** they are in for a world of pain over the next 5 years

Yet we all get excited about Nathan Wright.

Yet we all get excited about Nathan Wright.

Que? Wright was looking like he was on his way out before his run of games this year. He's 22yo and played 26 career afl games and finally showing something. People are pleased for him that he's at least taken what was probably his last chance this year to at least show some something of his potential.

Having said that he will need to lift much further next year to retain his place in the team and indeed on the list. If he's still averaging under 15 possessions a game when he's 24 (btw Suban is 26yo) then perhaps it's reasonable to make a comparison of the two.

nathan wright isnt a full time midfielder like that spud suban

nathan wright isnt a full time midfielder like that spud suban

He won't last 8 years on a list like Suban has

I know I shouldn't laugh...

But does anyone else reckon it looks like they're all 'tying off' or looking for veins?!

Looks like the start of a Chippendales routine.

Looks like the start of a Chippendales routine.

After all that crap they've put in their bodies, there's likely to be a highly audible sigh from the female audience once the breakaway pants are whipped off

A good watch

Harry ****in Taylor is one clutch campaigner. God Geelong have a lot of them. Bartel, Taylor, Enright and in the past Steve Johnson, Ablett, Scarlett. Harry Taylor's little dive to stop Paddy running away with the ground ball without tripping him. His recovery. He is bloody good. But he's no Gresham

 

[dewah07]

i want a prestia cam this match

Bachar Houli is cooked.

Horrible handball just before.

He's been Richmondised

Jeez Rance does some gun things.

Forget Hurley, tell Rance it's God's will he play for the Saints and bring a premiership to the holiest of clubs. He might just walk

Happily two first rounders on the table.

The premiership window is open again

 

[Choomah]

hope throw the sink at dusty love the campaigner

 

[George]

Need the Tigers to win this one so they move to 32pts, level with Collingwood and a game behind us. Because if the ass falls out of the end of our season, we need to finish 13th for that easier schedule in 2017. Teams below us need to keep winning

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Trelaur an absolute star in the making.
Worth every bit of what they gave up.
His 2nd half of the year has been outstanding.
God what i'd give to be able to get a player like that over to the saints.
