Do we want Andrew Krakouer?

[mocaholic]

Second that.

Krakouer = no good, never been any good.
P Bowden = tall defender, group him with Ryan Ferguson as a maybe.

There seems to be upside with quite a few of this year's delistees.

IMO I wouldn't be disappointed with any of L. Whitnall, P. Bowden, R. Ferguson, I. Perrie.

All delistings so far

I would - nay, WILL - cut up my membership (and my two daughters) if we recruit Lance.

That's a bit extreme.

DHS will be onto you if you do that to your kids. Let them support another team, don't cut them up.

Fair enough. Just cut up the mrs then. Win-win.

(NOTE: I was gunna amend the line to 'and those of my two daughters' but I just couldn't be arsed. I didn't think anybody is as obsessive as I...

And: g'day Scotty, how's things?)

Wouldn't matter. Your memberships are out of date now anyway.

Puh-lease. Can we have a little less of the racial stereotyping, thanks? Goodes, Pickett, McLeod are just some examples of a race that specialises in the 'soft outside game', yes?QUOTE]

Maybe my quote didn't come out right, I have absolutely no issue with the "soft outside game" nor did I mean that some Aboriginals can't play tough inside football.

But in Krackouer's case he couldn't or refused to get his own ball and when he finally did find himself with it, he was hopeless getting rid of it.

In order to survive in the AFL you have to be one or the other or in the case of champions both.

I think you missed the point, which was to stop any naming any player's "game" by reference to his race. Yes, we know this is a typical Australian thing to do (just listen to the likes of Andy Maher) but the actual fact is that it is nonsense....if the likes of Schneider and Judd were white just imagine the difference in how they would be "appreciated" by our esteemed media (and esteemed board members.... )

Nope. A dud.

[Chow-Chicker]

No thanks. Too much duty of care is owed to him.

Whether you like it or not, facts are that race or country of birth do determine a large make up of how a person acts, develops and thus will play sport and live their life.

Sure it does not pre dispose you to be one way or the other, but at the end of the day you can't tell me that more than 80% of the Aboriginal footballers currently playing the game are not short, slight of frame, fast, skillfull and by virtue of that outside players!

So yes, it's fair to group a certain section of players as having common traits due to ethenicity.
