Just a friendly reminder to Jono that it's June at the moment.
Seeing as though the Tigers didn't play this weekend he couldn't be blamed for thinking it was September.

He and Matt De Boer are fair dinkum identical.
Talk to Swallow's hand.

He refused to divulge what was said because there was nothing racist said. For McGuire, who I quite like, to bristle up over a reference to Kroucker's stint in jail, is laughable considering what's been said about Steven Milne by Collingwood. And then for him to leave in the air the possibility that the Krouker sledge was somehow race-related is obscene.
"I'm not going to guess as to whether his intentions were racist or otherwise. I'm not a mind-reader,"
just lol
It's like he's using racism as some sort of cover for having a go at someone who was sledging one of his players.

The original story you linked to (which since seems to have been updated) suggested McGuire himself had intimated the comments were racist in intent.
Unless the comments were explicitly racist he's just muddying the waters.

I really don't know what was said, but you would think it there was anything racist, then McGuire would have said so when speaking subsequently to the media. That he tries to intimate that the intent may have racial, says to me that there was nothing said that was explicitly racist.
I think when you go to the footy, especially in a licensed area, you've got to expect a bit of rugged talk from the crowd. Clearly anything racial, or the f or the c words are out of order. Other than that though - there is a time and a place for a bit of straight talkin'...and that time is at the footy, at the end of a long week, in the licensed areas.
If you don't want your kids to hear a bit of straight talkin', don't put them in that position.

Unimpressed.
If he truly believes that having a go for Krakouer's conviction is off limits, that's his view but explicitly say that. Some will agree, others won't. But make it clear that's the issue.
The Majak Daw incident and this have been merged together when they're obviously about different issues.

Left the game at half time on Saturday night. The limpness of the Lions reminded me of my worst sporting performance I've seen in the flesh- Boxing Day 2010 Ashes.
Having won just 5 of our last 28, having had a good long three year opportunity, having made some horrible recruiting calls, and having presided over performances like last Saturday against the Swans...how could we possibly fare any worse under a new coach?

Easy round for most. Only skd picked Melbourne, but he then tipped Brisbane, which prevented the 8. Otherwise most lost out on Melbourne and some lost out on Melbourne and Sydney.
Benchy is still last. Alternative beating Benchy at the end of the season would be hilarious.

I can confirm that Harry O will be meeting and then holding a subsequent presser with the Dalai Lama on Thursday.
“I desire to meet individuals who share similar visions and crusades as myself so that I can feed off their energy and continue to drive myself towards the direction of giving hope to all people".

Queensland coach Mal Meninga says NRL should target stars from other codes - starting with Lions star Jonathan Brown | Courier Mail
Mal Meninga must be more simple than I thought.
1) AFL do not have centralised contracts like the ARU. You'd think he'd have done his research before writing an article in the paper about that.
2) Rugby league scouts do go to other sport's carnival's to try and scout talent.
3) As if a player like Brown would want to cross over from a better paid code to a lesser paid code where they play in front of 3 men and a couple of stray dogs in a 100,000 seat stadium.
Such a bad article.
