Saying that he's concerned for gay footballers welfare is doing him a kindness given the issues he cited are that it made him uncomfortable in the showers, which stfu-Ben got smashed here for saying, and that it will distract the club. 
Aker talking crap as he often does. His attitude prob typifies why it will be hard for the first guy who comes out, but also why we'll all be better off once someone does, so the rest of the league can all get over it.

100% agree. One of my personal sporting heroes. Hope he sticks around the club after he retires too. Could see him being Roos mk2 sometime in the future.

Roos said he would be in the top 4 alltime players for South Melbourne/Sydney, which is probably a slight stretch given players like Bobby Skilton, Tony Lockett, etc, but he'd definitely be in their alltime team. Brilliant player.

Just love the fact he can even be talked about in such circles when he can't really kick and has never possesed alot of pace or skills. Grit and determination are cliches bandied around too often in sport, but Kirky really has built a career on them. Sounds like a terrific guy as well.

Kirky was school captain at my high school. Good bloke.

Was more of a child care type arrangement tbf.
Would've been awesome if David Campbell was a footballer. Wonder what Aker would say.

Disagree actually.
Only watched up to half-time because I couldn't get home in time from work in time to watch the game live, so had to tape it, and due to a ****-up with my DVR, it only taped up to the Hawkins goal 4 minutes before half time.
From what I saw, well played to Geelong, you guys are still the benchmark. The second quarter was so frustrating because we were just not quite good enough. I understand we were very inaccurate during the second half, which is probably a function of the pressure you guys exert. Such an awesome team when guys like Chapman and Mackie aren't even in your top three or four players.
From what I saw, Cloke, Ball and Swan were very good for us, and apparently Beams got better as the game went on. I was arguing to trade Davis for Ball if necessary during trade week, and he looks just about ready for the knackers yard based on how he played tonight.
We've lost to both of last years grand-finalists now - hopefully this lose will light a further fire to go as far as the team looks like it can. (if last year's smashing in the PF wasn't enough to have already done so
)EDIT: even though we lost, pretty gutted that I missed the second half, because it was gripping footy. I'd already gone mental and thrown cushions around the room and sworn at my wife til she huffed off because she was being balanced in agreeing with the umpires several times, and was definitely set to get nicely drunk watching the second half

I don't think it did. The Cats were mucking around with Brisbane last week, and for a large part of last night I think it's what they did with Collingwood too. It's pretty obvious that the Cats are exerting themselves only as much as they need to for September.
The only time Collingwood threatened (in the midst of the Dayne Beams show) Geelong just turned it up a gear and repelled them with ease.

Collingwood had their chances in the last quarter but were wasteful. Had a gooch load of inside 50's in the first 5 or so minutes.
