So Levi Greenwood now wants to go from Collingwood to North Melbourne as reported in today's Murdoch Monopoly Times.
I wonder if anyone has told Levi that?
North Melbourne player Levi Greenwood has requested a trade from Collingwood to the Kangaroos. New Collingwood list manager Adrian Dodoro said "Greenwood is a contracted player. We won't be giving him up for cheaps. We want apples for apples. Maybe bananas for bananas. Wait are bananas in season now?" North Melbourne will work closely with Essendon to facilitate a trade before trade periods ends this Thursday.

Ah, racial stereotypes. Gotta love consistency in our politically correct society. Make this post about an indigenous or Asian individual and it gets reported and banned. But the good old Greeks who serve the best fruit and veg and fish and chips in the world, and make some of the best doctors and researchers, should cop it sweet.
Mate calm down, I'm Greek Australian and I didn't find the initial comment offensive at all.
There's bigger things to worry about then what ignorant people have to say.

Don't disagree to be honest, but there are other times on this forum where racial/ethnic sensitivity runs high, and I find it hippocritical when some stereotype comments get shouted down and others go through to the keeper.
All depends on context though. Greek stereotypes are easier to take when it's George Kapiniaris or Nick Giannopoulos doing it, rather than Mark Mitchell.

The more advanced in society your ethnicity is in terms of it's relative place in the grand scheme of things, the more you don't give a **** if someone gives it shit, because you know it isn't true. Whereas minorities feel the need to defend themselves against such behavior because it can influence the opinions of others.

Yeah, nah not really.

Not the thread to discuss this though.

Most unprofessional sports commentator in the world.
Except when David Penberthy decides to talk sport. Another Crows ambassador attempting to spin spin spin.
"Aw Rowey, cmon let's not get all misty eyed about Michael Voss. Surely hes a step down from Phil Walsh isn't he? I mean the guy was a failure at Brisbane, left the club in shambles"
Even Rowe couldnt bring himself to bag Voss' s credentials as a midfield coach.

The funny thing is that Penbo twat would not have even been aware that Phil Walsh was a living breathing human 2 weeks ago :rolleyes:

To be fair he didn't realise that Sanderson had worked at Port Adelaide before either.

Yes, well Penbos knowledge about afl makes Rowe look clever.

But I assume poaching peter welsh from port power was a day that made footy more truly awesome for Penbo.

Had a crows fans ask me today how I felt about Adelaide poaching Peter Walsh....


Always liked Peter as a player, good luck to him at the Crows. I'm sure he's still a better player than Luke Brown.

'Penbo' is that casual Crows supporter we all know who 99.9% of the time is a perfectly reasonable, astute, intelligent and affable human being - until footy is mentioned.

Then they become the most wretched, hateful, ignorant, bile-spewing advocate of stereotypes with a level of knowledge roughly equivalent to a second-hand skatepark franger.

I got into a debate with a Tingle fan about Voss being an upgrade on Walsh & told them to wait and see if Phil can make the 8 & win a final with an average list like Voss did at Brisbane before they sink the boot in.

They called him a failed coach & I said 'well he's not in the same league of highly rated seagull Campo', I find their jibes knocking our coaching staff funny then they're appointed as their senior coach & they're 'the guru behind Ports success'.

In his case a second hand Heywood Park in Unley Park franger.

Did you tell them we still have Travis Cornes?

They were disappointed that Jared Podsiadly was cut but happy James Petrenko is still there.

Having said that, I am not giving them too much crap about the coaching scenario - happy to have Voss, probably more so than Walsh but I will hold my tongue as I suspect they have some exciting coaching announcements coming up.
