Oppo Camp Regular Non Eagles Discussion

[Gwaihir]

The point is Zempilas made the comment and then decided to say that wasn't something he stood for. It's bs. Its akin to saying you believe in God, then instantly saying you don't just because others don't.

If you look up 'back-pedalling' in the dictionary, there is a picture of Basil. No one's buying it because he already made his position clear. Most of us just want to see him squirm.

I guess that would be the same as looking up "man" or "male" in the dictionary. You will find there is mention of "x and Y chromosomes", penises and testicles...
Maybe, just maybe he might have said what the majority think. ....while still maintaining a level of respect for those who might identify as "whatever" they like.

I appear to have struck a blue vein of irony.

Bolded part I absolutely agree with. Again, amateur competition at work.
Also see current status of list sizes, TPP, competition format all still up in the air

The rest of your suggestion would probably create more issues than it solves, and kind of defeats the purpose of free agency when it turns the transactions into proper trades.
If we want a truly FA system, then compo must be scrapped. The reward for losing a FA is the cap space it creates to then go out & recruit another player.
This may become an issue like in NBA where small market teams are disadvantaged, but since we're arguably the biggest club in the land, who cares about the Norfs of the world anyways.

The thing with the NBA is that they have loyalty bonuses ie players can sign a super max contract as opposed to a max contract if they sign an extension with their club. To translate that the AFL I guess you could have players get paid x amount outside the salary cap if they stay with their team

Disagree, hence the uproar.

I walked past a bin on Albany hwy in East Vic Park tonight when getting dinner. Someone had already stuck a poster on there protesting basil and his "transphobia". I don't think they realised the irony of sticking it on a bin...

Everyone concerned [The entire LGBTQIA+ community, Telethon, Retravision (the voucher), a City of Perth councillor, and even the man himself and his wife] are criticising or distancing themselves from his comments.

And they are entitled to if that's the way they lean.......many, many others may choose to disagree and say a person is entitled to express their opinion albeit not fashionable.

 

[kaII]

Just to end this debate, the idea that a penis = man and a vagina = a woman is reductive isn't some PC business. Not everyone is born with fully developed genitalia, that's been recorded in modern medicine as far back as the 19th century.

Whether or not you believe in some 'PC left-wing agenda', I think it behooves us to not marginalise those in the community who have biological reasons for falling outside of the binary.

 

[salo]

Some very backwards stuff getting peddled in this thread re: gender identity. It's not "PC-madness" to educate yourself and catch-up to the rest of the world. Basil's comments were (once again) naive and marginalising and he doesn't get a special pat on the back for apologising (again)... that's the expected response for any thoughtful human, let alone for a lord mayor.

I have nothing but admiration and respect for Taylor.

Terrific player who played in the true spirit of the game hard but fair.

Very underrated player, even his last game he gave Lynch a touch up.

280 games and two Premiership Medals.

Well done H.

Absolute class act.

Surprised he didn’t announce before the GF but he probably didn’t want to steal Gazza’s glory

I'll always remember him for the ham handshake.

Not surprised at all he was always humble, very team orientated and one who never wanted the limelight.

Country boy who preferred to just ride away into the sunset, no fanfare no flashing lights.

Hamshake. It's right there man.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Always seemed like a pretty good bloke. Wish that we had drafted him. Wonder if would've picked him up if he was still available at 20 instead of Notte lol. In hindsight we should've picked him up instead of Ebert too.

 

[WCErevival]

I felt no one would know what I was on about

 

[Ok Boomer]

Moved like a 45 year old at times but just kept getting the job done, great career.

 

[woosha24]

Can talk about chicks with dicks on this forum

Is that still called "traps" nowadays? Or am I no longer hip and with it?

GWS match for Cameron so Geelong have to trade.

Need to send GWS a box of choccies.

Will be interesting to see who blinks and will screw both clubs trade periods the longer it goes.
