Wondered where this thread was. The Hawthorn vs. Geelong game last week was riddled with umpiring decisions in favour of Hawthorn.

Same last night. Richmond lost because of skill errors and poor kicking but that late FK to Fasolo was disgraceful.

Also regarding the banner, imagine the universal praise if they had put something like "save the refugees" on it.

Can't be seen to be opposing religious control of society....

So one is acceptable and one is not?

They're both politically motivated. Hypocrites.

One banner is inciting ethnic hatred, the other isn't.

Opposition to mosques it not enthic hatred :lol:

Islam is a religion not an ethnicity :lol:

"Pertaining to or characteristic of a people, especially a group (ethnic group) sharing a common and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like."

it's opposing a building, not the religion itself :lol:

I wouldn't want one near me either, they're ugly as fuck (same with churches). If they looked like normal buildings no issue, but they do not.

Banner put up by Neo-Nazi group UPF. The nutcase who leads these fuckwits admitted today he shoved the banner up his jumper and smuggled it into the ground (so much for security!). He doesn't follow either side (probably not the game either?) but put "go pies" on the banner to get attention to it. This is the same guy who posted on facebook that feminism is a Jewish plot to oppress males and that he wants portraits of Hitler in school classrooms. As I said he's a total nutjob.

Let's get a tally happening for this weekend

- racist banner by Collingwood supporters who also happen to run racist political party
- Houli repeatedly called a terrorist
- woman punched at crows game
- fans block traffic to support drug cheats

More as it comes to hand

Still?

Disgraceful, this bloke by all accounts is a top guy and a top player.

Unfortunately yes. Makes the whole AFL statements about an 'isolated incident' all the more ludicrous. The league is infested with xenophobia/racism.

I really cant be bothered TBH, all the afl has to know is they have another one here who is in the "its not really my kind of thing" party

Exactly. it was the AFL that initiated politics in sport

^ agree the AFL are the ones who brought politics to the game as a way of trying to get marketing. Will now reap the rewards of their customer base containing a lot of racist, sexist, homophobes - which isn't the angle they were hoping to capitali$e on

Really ? havent seen anything in the media about this....

It happened was on the hill male crows fan (looked like in his early 20's) hit a port adelaide female fan in the port cheer squad bay.

Only know this seeing him being escorted out by security.

Of course it wasn't in the news.

All controversy aside, I really loved watching the bulldogs play that super quick attacking football. My smokey for the flag this year.

Watching the Bulldogs last year are the only thing giving me a hope as a Carlton supporter that we can bounce back. Although i will admit we are a fair while off.

Eyewitnesses were claiming he punched the woman. I wasn't there so I can't say. A women who claimed to see it posted a picture on twitter of him being kicked out

Nah i've got work but thankfully i work at a pub so should be able to watch it along with Melbourne City which is lucky! I'm praying Charlie Curnow has a crack like Weitering did last week

How bad are Melbourne getting beat by the replacements of Essendon.

They cant handle the 'favourites' tag

What are Fremantle doing

didnt something like this happen at a crows game about 5 months ago or so?

Have absolutely loved the footy the first couple of weeks. The style the Dogs and crows in particular, but other clubs as well are playing is great to watch. Good to see the Swans back up and about and Buddy is back looking as good as ever. Hawks are still the benchmark imo

Not sure, It happened at the dockers, and it also happened at a bulldogs game in Vic (that was more people punching on and a sheila got hurt)

if it happened at crows game I'd love a link

Melbourne are favourites now?

What the fuck have I missed :lol:

Not sure whats a bigger upset.

Essendon winning

Freo loosing to GC in perth.

Spot on all between the ears.
