Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
Hmmm it really wouldn’t be a good for the club to recruit Thomas now:

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
I fkn hate footy taking a stand on issues it has fk all to do with
Footy is two hours a week you get to forget life’s troubles and barrack for you team
Not get social issues rammed down you r throat
I am a former serviceman who served in the gulf in 92
I even hate the fact that moron Collingwood fans think their club is somehow significant on ANZAC day.

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
The AFL's "stand" on social issues is not genuine it's marketing think.
Great concern for mental health, other medical causes, the vulnerable - sponsored by big betting. Greenwashing a huge social evil.
The Anzac ceremonies are very moving however the Collingwood v Essendon "tradition " is a contrived blockbuster; should be shared, if equity is a serious justice value. Transparent greed is the driver of the AFL.
St Dillon and Sister Laura are in thrall of $ broadcasters and betting industry not charitable works to mould society. They just peddle that snake oil.

A sport that doesn’t exist in a bubble. Otherwise you are saying players can have Carte Blanche to do whatever they want, seeing societal issues have no impact on the outcome of sports.

All men are responsible for doing better. What a great quote by Andrew Dillon. And B.M fkn hates this. The game is on so we should just forget about woman being beaten up, murdered, intimidated. ah those damn life troubles.

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
Wasn’t we frustrated recently for having such games
Pride Game etc
Or was that just excuses for losses?!
Didn’t RTB when he was allude to the fact we need to prioritise winning football rather than being distracted by side issues??

Bollocks. Are all people in society responsible for stepping up and reducing cruelty to animals? After all, it's human beings that inflict cruelty on domesticated animals!The Barometer wrote: ↑Wed 01 May 2024 11:20pmAll men are responsible for doing better. What a great quote by Andrew Dillon.

The fact is that in the 12 months ending June 30 last year, 70% of all murder victims in Australia were male. And that percentage is consistent over many years, so why is it that only female victims are newsworthy? Approximately 33% of all victims of domestic violence are male, why are we only interested in gendered violence against women? Across society in general, males are about 4 times more likely than females to be a victim of violence, so why is it only violence against females that we are concerned about - why is that so much more deserving of attention?

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
The government has caused financial distress through its inept policies which is putting a lot of pressure on households and causing all sorts of problems for families like domestic violence. But the government wants us to point the finger at other men.
