I think the problem is that your midfield is going to get absolutely obliterated unless guys like Cotchin play out of their skin and guys like Fyfe play well within it.
The Tiges seem to suffer more than just about any club when their midfield isn't up to it, and they'll be climbing Everest this week.

Yeah, if good Footscray and good Port show up, it should be an absolute cracker.

We've had a very soft opening run. North are the best team we've beaten. We'll drop down a bit over the second half of the year.

It felt good to see someone actually address this 'issue' without resorting to prejudiced nonsense... then I read the facebook comments and remembered I reside in a nation littered with racist bigots. So nothing will be taken from this in any attempt of reconciliation.

Andrew Bolt is also a loving moron. Not pulling any surprises with this, I know.

I for one didn't find it remotely aggressive given the context of it being indigenous round. Even outside of the round I'd only view it as maybe a bit of an excessive celebration, but certainly not something that deserves this much attention. Trust Eddie to be a fuckwit and have to clarify his statement, even though he still sounds like a obnoxious loving turd regardless.

Offsiders is the best sports show going around. It just demonstrates that people who like sport aren't all knuckle dragging morons.
It's the sort of program to show people who go "hurrrrr sportsball" when they find out you like sports and instantly think less of you.

Jesus I don't remember people losing their nuts about Mark "Not Choco" Williams doing clay pigeon shooting in 2006 or '07 after each goal or whenever it was he was doing that.

(Although he did knock that off after a while probably because someone did have a talk to him about it. :( )

Yeah it was definitely talked about a little bit but from memory the consensus was that at worst it maybe came across as a little arrogant. The club eventually asked him to stop. There was never a significant public outcry about it and nobody thought it was too 'aggressive' or 'threatening'.

Well said. I'm surprised and ashamed at Matthews but I'm not surprised at the attitude from Hall, he was always a wanker. Waleed Aly was indeed right on the ball on a great Offsiders ep, but so was Whateley and Gideon. Only Josh Massoud struck a discordant note with a frankly immature and confused response.

He called Goodes an Ape last year live on air and apologised right away but I guess this time he wants to make sure that didn't happen again.

Didn't he just suggest that maybe he should be used for the premiere of King Kong? And then hurriedly changed what he said with 'uh, I mean, that's the kind of thing they might do, right?'

Eddie McGuire is just following in the tradition of collingwood presidents, such as Allan "As long as they conduct themselves like white people, well, off the field, everyone will admire and respect … As long as they conduct themselves like human beings, they will be all right.

That was the best part, you could hear it in Darcy's voice where he wanted no part of it. Eddie was trying to worm his way out of it being all "but that's the sort of thing they'd do right?" looking for some kind of back up from Darcy and Darcy was just "Uh, I uh, no I wouldn't have a clue".
