Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion

[Mogumber]

Lot of Budgies over here lately?

 

[Van_Dyke]

Dylan Roberton has retired. Sad way for his career to end, he looked like he was going to be a gun in his last year at Freo and kept tracking that way during his first few years at the Saints, but just could never get on the park due to various medical reasons to realize his potential.

at the risk of distracting this thread from our wce friends and rioli, so sad what’s happened with Roberton, to go from making the AA squad in 2017 to basically never playing again. would have been tremendous for us if he stayed a few years longer, was a very good player. roberton and pitt being forced into retirement with heart issues is simply awful.

 

[bushchook]

Yeah I think this has been a foregone conclusion since he collapsed in a game. If anything it's surprising it took so long. Very sad, I always liked him as a player.

One where Rupert Murdoch owns most of the press and is trying to divert negative attention away from his lapdog, the LNP.

Murdoch owned the paper a long time champ. Like 34 years ago.

 

[poshman]

I stand corrected however Murdoch/Stokes they are the same animal with the same vested interests. If you think it is merely a conspiracy that these media moguls give the LNP an armchair ride when it suits their agenda and business interests to have them in power and in their pockets then I'm not sure much can be done to help that I'm afraid.
Enjoy the lift out I guess.

Politics thread?

 

[poshman]

8 pages on a ##cked up attempt to hide a drug violation by a not to bright sportsman and little to nothing on an alleged rape charge by the most senior law maker in the land.
What a ##cked up planet we live on.

piss it off to the politics thread please...

What does it say about your character when you continue to support a management that protects it's shitbags?? Context - even pies fans are throwing their memberships in the bin #eaglescum

 

[Tbonefreo]

Unsure how old you are but Ashley Sampi returned out of shape and the story was he was enjoying eating lots of turtle

Wasn't it wonamirri who loved the turtle?

I vaguely remember sampi had a Domestic violence case against him.


Edit: those poor turtles.

Why? It's a comment on our local rag and their bias. Plenty of comments on here about the West. .

About a politician.. I think that is going to cause political discussion. Not a long bow there.

Roberton was a favourite of mine and the club showed great heart and sensitivity in arranging for a return to his home state.

s**t luck for him and I wish him all the best.
