Uncle Tom would be absolutely brilliant when we play against him next year
It’s quite a clever and simple insult that cuts deep

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Tom



“ Uncle Tom is the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. The term "Uncle Tom" is also used as a derogatory epithet for an exceedingly subservient person, particularly when that person is aware of their own lower-class status based on race. “

Each to their own, if you think that’s a brilliant insult good luck to you

You have waaay too much time on your hands bud
Go back to hanging out with your Southern slave owners
We all know what Uncle Tom's doing- and he got peeved when he wanted to share a bowel of chitlins and greens with his fellow slaves and they said **** off back to the Big House
He's not interested in fighting for emancipation- just keep the status quo for old Tom,
BTW Just a hint- no decent form of understanding in life comes from reading a Wikipedia definition

Hey fellas quick question:

Are we allowed banners/signs etc at home games? Just I’m a signwriter by trade and I’d be happy to print them for free if I can get a commitment to hold em up.

Just trying to get some atmosphere at home games - up for any suggestions of what to put on em....

You're a legend! Definitely do that, you're allowed to hold up banners 100%

Most of these are lame as but you may find something you like.

- prepare to get burnt or sunstroke
- how hot was that?
- 2 metre Peter
- swallow that!
- please MAY I have some more?
- are you at your witts end?

He’s pretty dumb isn’t he. Anyway culturally if you are called an “Uncle Tom” then you are a sellout to the white man so the parallel is Lynch selling out to the Big End of Town ie the VFL rather than keeping up the good fight.

Clearly not seen the movie or read the book. Probably believes everything in Geelong Flog Hamish Hairspray McLachlan’s wiki entry too.

Have you noticed that now that Chill Swan has been suspended he’s had to reappear under his own miserable Inbred Geelong persona in order to intrude?

He’s such a loser, although he’s such a moron he’d think he was better than us as a human because his big end of town VFL club with the best list in the VFL is ahead of us on the ladder in NINTH place.

View attachment 540332 So just a heads up guys I think the club is asking me to step up my membership and support the Suns through these tough times. Apparently I am $968 billion behind in my membership fees. Haven’t told the wife yet...

That is absolute gold

In the full interview he said that the suns are only 7 or 8 years into a 100 year journey and talks about how things could be a lot different if Ablett didn’t do his shoulder and made finals then players stayed.. good listening

That is one of the greatest things ive ever seen. :thumbsu::D:thumbsu:
 
Just saw on the email for tomorrow's game that you get a free Big Mac if we kick more than 10 goals - gee the bar is dropping.

Surprised a few weeks back that they didn't have a free Big Mac for is we scored in the last quarter.

Mc Donald’s doing well this year on that deal as I think we have got a Big Mac once , you’d think we could snag 10 goals on a regular basis at home .

I couldn't get my boys to go today.
They say it's embarrassing supporting the Suns
So sad from kids who have never missed a home match if we've been in town
For me the rot started at The Gabba with the Melbourne match
It seems we're back to a novice coach playing 18yo's
No Malcolm Blight /Sheedy/Roos type as mentor
Just freestylin'.
Dew isn't above criticism- he came in saying performance will be rewarded
That's quite clearly a lie
The Club isn't in danger of folding but it will take time to re-establish a fan base of believers

That's a bit emotional when your kids lose heart in something that should be fun and that a bonding experience.

Dew is the opposite of Rocket - not a great in game tactician but at least you can see the vision he has for the team. The game style is simple but clear, in the main the effort always seems to be there, he keeps his composure in the box and from all reports has good relationships with all the key stakeholders.

Yeah, that's the rub
I really only got back into AFL when The Suns arrived mainly for the boys
When the boys were little boys(they're 12 and 8 now) I don't think winning or losing meant too much
But they feel bad and sad after we get thrashed every week
The eldest says he'd go if he thought we had a chance but we don't
Even in the early darkest days we were (or at least we believed) we were a sneaky chance
I know people seem to think we are improving but I don't see it
