Jake King on Open Mike

[Helen Wheels]

Sure mate. Whatever you say. The Catholic Church is one of the great disgraces of humankind. And the Pope heads it up.

Fair point. The pope's stance against condoms and contraception in general does nothing to help prevent the spread of AIDS or the massive overpopulation of the planet. Then there's the pedo priests.

Wouldn't meet a better bloke than Jake king... The guy is as real and humble as you can get. He dealt with serious shit in his life and has a lot to teach us about perseverance against the odds.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Sounds like it would have been easier if Mike just had Toby on the show instead

Yeah we should get one of the many interesting Melbourne players that have been involved in the last 20 years. So many to choose from too....

He also Captained the Tiges in a NAB game, so the club obviously had serious respect for him.

I watched this again last night. Seems like a very genuine fella. What he did for that young lad in WA is something only a really decent human being would do.

 

[Soft Ball Get]

What else were they supposed to keep talking about how many pushups he can really do?

100 games - couple of qualifying finals but that's it. No awards unless you count the grand final sprint. There was no football interview to be had.

His journey to the AFL was interesting. Giving up money to play for Richmond. And what he did for that sick kid was great.

Do you know what "apologist" actually means? I'll stick by my comments about your post. Just making a perfunctory remark about background not excusing behaviour doesn't change the fact that you really went on to make a very generous and far reaching statement justifying Mitchell's life as the product of a poor upbringing. You sounded like a member of his legal team you sounded so forgiving.

And then after being all neo-liberal with your "do not judge" stuff, you participate in this ludicrous stereotype about Melbourne supporters and silver spoons and then make a glancing insult about the residents of Mill Park. Clearly you know nothing about either group.

I expect you will counter this with a self-congratulatory remark about how you were ingeniously pointing out how you can't judge books by their covers, but honestly, rather than sounding like somebody who thinks about things from a variety of angles you sound more like you think along stereotypes.

you dont really live in Mill Park, do you?

There would be a lot of kids from the wrong side of the track that would find Jake and that interview inspiring.

 

[FastLane]

I can infer a few things about you from the fact you had to resort to both of these tropes. You are using background to excuse behavior, whether you want to admit it or not. No background excuses his behavior - wonder if you have actually experienced being around those people and what they are really like.

I can 'infer' a few things from your post.
You can't read- well you can, but do so selectively.
You over analyse.
You have zero understanding of my life.
You left Geelong because it the bad men that run everything around there don't like you?
You spend too much time on BF and not enough in the real world.

 

[Soft Ball Get]

He didn't punch someone so he's quality?

Grouse.

Hardly what I meant but good on ya, you got two likes

Hey man, don't diss the park!

 

[JPetro83]

They built this episode up to be "one of the best" but it was average at best. Only thing that I was impressed with was how Jake handled that situation with kid with the illness. the rest of the show wasn't that great.
I'm waiting for open mike "Warwick Capper part 2"

 

[BEEG]

Just another decent bloke victim of the media.

So's Capper.

Not at all.

The Pope oversees the grubbiest organisation on the planet. If you can't understand why he is a bigger scumbag than Toby Mitchell then that says more about you than it does about me.

Actually it says a lot more about you. You've got some deep seated hatred for the Catholic Church. That's fine, so long as you are aware it.

The Pope in his defense, allows some contraception, such as the rhythm method (I myself am a result of this method), and abstinence. However he doesn't much like the withdrawal method, he sees this as a waste of semen. He himself prefers the sublimation of semen.

Rofl, defending the Catholic Church is akin to defending Hitler. Same evil, just in different forms.

I notice you don't refute the claims made against the church. Just attack the posters.
