Wait... he is a diabetic which makes him more violent on the football field... and that was used as a... defence?

5 weeks for that? Should buy a lottery ticket.

Dan White defence…

 

[Doctor Feel]

Umpiring coach Hayden Kennedy has quit.

I would suggest he was pushed.

 

[edgie]

Who knows.

The AFL run the umpires so clandestinely that it's impossible if he was pushed or he was disillusioned or maybe or just wants to move on from football.

Lol. Cis and Cishet is just a made up ******* word by

I don't mind Richardson's stuff. And good on him for trying to make a buck as a senior journo for an online daily journal that proudly boasts that it is at the forefront of independent journalism in SA.

Bravo to that! In a city and state dominated by NewsCorp and eastern media interests, including in the ABC, we need a strong and independent source of news coverage that is prepared to look outside of the press releases from political spin doctors.

What I don't get though is why Richardson wastes his talent in a producing a daily column focussed solely on the Adelaide Crows, a topic that receives more than enough 'fanboi' coverage in every broadcast medium in SA- print media, radio, TV etc.? Heck even the local ABC Radio station 891 Adelaide refers to the Crows as 'our team'.

At least they've started using Michelangelo Rucci as a writer so we get a bit of critical balance and insight.

It's a weekly column, it's reasonably humourous, doesn't take itself too seriously, footy content sells, it probably brings readers to InDaily that wouldn't otherwise know it exists, it is aimed as slightly more highbrow than Newscorp but not quite the Left wing shite of the Guardian/Age. Richardson writes other stuff too.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

At least Richardson knows his column are a joke.

Every word is a made up word.

Little known fact, I also made up the word Cishet.

Petracca signed till 2029....* that's a long deal.

Petracca signed till 2029....fu** that's a long deal.

I saw that written somewhere last night and thought it was a joke.

Demon for life: Superstar inks MONSTER long-term deal

Demons superstar Christian Petracca will remain at the club until the end of 2029 after signing a new contract

[Imhotep]

Good luck to Melbourne he's a gun but these huge contracts only ever end in tears.

 

[Hammer#8]

Only player I'd commit for 8 years is Butters.

They put on a red codpiece and just did it.

On the contrary - look at the multiple premierships that have resulted from Buddy's 10 year deal with Sydney.........

 

[backtozero]

Even then I wouldn't. Players are only a couple of bad injuries or a few bad concussions away from a severe dip in form or even retirement. 8 years is a whole career for some guys.

Does that mean you can just make up words on the spot and they're legit?

Well the Crows even made up their own slogan, "The team for all South Australians", which is about as legit as their 2021 premiership aspirations.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Just saw Fritsch getting cleared again and still cannot comprehend how...

Not every word becomes part of the lexicon

Wrong thread for this discussion, but absolutely. The aim of language is to communicate, as long as people you are trying to communicate to understand what you are saying then yes....that's how it works.

BTW: Cis is simply the opposite of Trans as a Latin prefix. So totally and utterly valid when one part of the discussion uses the term trans.

I'll remember to use this argument next time I play scrabble.
