Opinion Non-Crows AFL 12: It's the confectionery with 1000 uses

[baldandbroke]

CANNOT BELIEVE - so many articles about last night are starting with Greene's awesome verbal comeback at half-time to a FoxFooty question about Papley.

Seriously, we cannot be at this stage when it comes to "offence" can we?

Let's hear what Papley said to Greene and compare ...

Exactly we are becoming soft as a society

Exactly we are becoming soft as a society

It's not about being "soft" - it's the media jumping in and trying to make a story.

I don't think much of society will see it and say "yeah, that was out of line".

I see it in the same bracket as the Voss one through the hotline.

Show some common sense.

Is the idea that using the term overweight would somehow normlise this type of "hate" speech and trickle down to the juniors?

Has anyone seen what is the baseline content that your average under 15 year old digests on an hourly basis? If they think joking that someone looks unfit / overweight is the bottom of the barrel ... they are in for a shock.

Will Ashcroft only playing game 50 today and already a Premiership Player and Normsmith medalist plus already one of the best players in the game!!

Crazy good

 

[ams4crows]

Wouldn't mind a Suns victory today

 

[ams4crows]

Doesn't look very sold out

 

[footy4ever]

Doesn't look very sold out

Where's the crowd!! There's bloody nobody there. Both Qld teams...

 

[Pea Nut]

Doesn't look very sold out

They are probably all stuck on the M1 trying to get to the game.

 

[footy4ever]

Big sigh of relief from Hardwick. Looked like another goalless first qtr until then.

Exactly we are becoming soft as a society

It's largely manufactured outrage. They know people will click on it with a "this is bloody soft" anger. Don't make yourself obligated to look and have it annoy you, that's what they want.

I wonder if Papley was offended

 

[pjcrows]

Brisbane just look like they're always in control of games even when they're not dominating. They are still the ones to beat.

 

[fuic08]

I wonder if Papley was offended

Fox posted a video of Papley sledging Stringer about being fat as theyre both waiting to come back on.

needs to geet into the gym over summer

 

[spenze]

Fox posted a video of Papley sledging Stringer about being fat as theyre both waiting to come back on.

They are like a bunch of teenage girls

"You're fat Sharelle"

"No, you're fat Janelle"

Ben King needs to geet into the gym over summer

Yeah, 7 years ago.

 

[Pea Nut]

Who did everyone tip ?? I went Suns.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Small crowd.

 

[Pea Nut]

Small crowd.

Tiny. The place only fits 25 000 jammed packed to the rafters. The bigger crowds there are always when opposition fans show up.

 

[spenze]

Good start by the Suns

 

[MRB37]

Who did everyone tip ?? I went Suns.

Same. Figured they'd come up fired up after what we did to them last week.

Brisbane getting it inside 50 enough though, just need to be more efficient and it'll be game on.

 

[ams4crows]

Big sigh of relief from Hardwick. Looked like another goalless first qtr until then.

And then they bang on 5 goals and comfortably win the quarter

 

[hippyhippy]

Suns looking good.. hope they can win it

It's a bit sad really, they have a reasonable membership base and being a new stadium, the facilities would be decent, you'd think they'd be able to fill the stadium given the game

 

[ams4crows]

Every thing is going through the corridor but the inside 50s from both teams are letting them down
