Another homophobic slur on a footy field this season...
And yet we still get the "WhY dO wE nEed a PriDe gAmE" BS every year...
This is why.

Pies fans booing one of the all-time greats in possibly the final game they'll ever see him at the MCG... reminds me of what Goodes had to go through.
Unfortunately there's 100% a racial element here too. There is no reason why Buddy is being booed otherwise.

It never fails.
I post about the Pride Game, or homophobia, and my replies are full of:
Gays don't play football
It's just words
Why no straight game?
Qatar Airways
Toughen up
Etc, etc...
Not one of them self-aware enough to realise they are proving my point exactly... 🤷♂️

This year:
Freo has approximately 96 hours of flight time.
West Coast has approximately 83 hours.
All the way down to:
Carlton has approximately 24 hours.
Bulldogs have approximately 23 hours.
But because 12 guys get to sit in Business class, there's "no disadvantage"?
🤦♂️
Rival AFL clubs have reportedly claimed the WA sides “cannot have a whinge” about travel, citing “business class” perks to say they are at “no disadvantage”. 👀

Just a word?
Some of you know that I'm a shrink, some don't.
Come back when you've had a teenage patient who has seriously self-harmed because of "words".
When you've had to console the parents of a kid who has committed suicide because of "words".
Some of you have no idea.
Be better? It's a word. What word was it? We are getting sick and tired of all of these days, weeks and months celebrating so-called pride. Now you want a player to be kicked out of the league because he lost his temper during a physical game?
You be better!

Seeing some complaints re: umps cost us the game...
Nah.
Sure, there were some dodgy calls, but that didn't cost us.
Freo played fantastic, and we were off, compounded by the fact that Freo never let us breathe.
Credit the Dockers, don't blame the umps.

Regardless of tonight, the tribunal system is broken.
If Heeney's action can be considered worthy of a ban whereas Butters or Hogan earlier this year aren't, gradings are broken.
The OFFICIAL tribunal guidelines have no requirement for consistency.

Injuries suck, and are unfortunately part of the game, but I do agree with the view that over the last few years when the Swans, Eagles, Port have had huge injury lists, nothing was really said, but 3 big Vic clubs have long lists this season and now we need to change the game?

We were written off before the season even began.

We were 3 - 6.

We made finals AGAIN.

I think it's fairly reasonable to say that:
Non-Vic sides have a bigger home ground adv.
Vic sides have a huge adv re: lack of travel.
Vic sides have way less of a disadvantage when playing "away" in Vic.
Add in finals, player retention etc.
Vic sides are more advantaged. 🤷♂️

Context is important.
This was a response to the proposal that North be relocated to Sydney and essentially becoming what GWS is now.
There was no targeting of individual players, but rather of the idea.
Your claims of hypocrisy are based on false equivalence.

Seeing some harsh feedback on Francis.
16 touches at 81%.

3 rebound 50s.
Didn't give away any frees.

Why the hate?

How the hell can the tribunal members honestly ban Parks and then let Cerra off when his tackle was way worse?
The biggest gripe most of us have with the tribunal IS THEIR ABSOLUTE LACK OF CONSISTENCY.
YOU ARE A JOKE.

Sydney Derby Qualifying Final huh?
Pros:

No travel advantage to the Swans.

Different way to look at things too:
Chad, Errol, Isaac, Rowy and Brodie ALL had really quiet games today, the back-line was in shambles for 3 quarters, Freo barely missed a shot in the first 3 quarters... and we still nearly won.
Lots to take from today.

Today was worse than the Tigers loss.
We're fortunate that we've banked the wins early and have had some results go our way because we have come off the boil BIG TIME over the last 6 weeks...

Consider again the following:

Feel like I'm a bit alone on an island today in defending McCrae.
The headlines are all taken from a single answer he gave to a direct question about "should it be 50?"
The very first thing he did in the presser was praise Heeney and Sydney.
Was a pretty classy conference IMO.

With Heeney, Paps, McCartin, McInerney all coming back in for finals, I can't see an obvious spot for Caiden in the 23... but if we get an injury or suspension, he will be first cab off the rank to slot straight in. Kid is a gun!

Or

I am consistently applaud the
@GWSGIANTS
social media, 99% of the time they're funny and hit the target.
But where has this narrative come from that the Swans don't like being reminded of our South Melbourne history and heritage??

Reminder to Swans fans (and myself)...
If GWS win tonight, we are not automatically back to a 3 game lead...
We do still have to win tomorrow first...

Parker: Suspension entirely outcome based.
Reid: Suspension entirely action based.
No wonder every supporter from every club hates the tribunal. There's no consistency in either reasoning, or outcome no matter the charge or injury.

Are there seriously people upset with the Cat's Mad Monday retirement home gimmick??
If they were mocking the aged and infirm that would be one thing...
But they're not...
They're mocking the footy media and experts who called them 'too old' to win a flag.

I think the Giants storming back into the game is a blessing in disguise.
It's 100% going to be raised in the review and analysed by Horse and the coaches.
Gives the playing group something else to focus on and avoid complacency.

I can understand supporters not liking certain players, but the vitriol against Francis by some people on Swans footy Twitter is way over the top, bordering on personal...
Be better people!

I have a question, and this is no shade at Geelong, but rather the football "experts".
Cats and Swans are now both 5-6 after this round. So how come it's just the Swans who are suffering from a GF hangover according to the footy media?
