Note to self: Don't expect people on bigfooty to understand why using the term 'retard' is not acceptable and that just because it happened on the footy field doesn't make it ok.

He should have said "I find your behaviour totally inappropriate and I hope you do not participate further in the contest". That should satisfy the moronic PC correct brigade :jerkbag:

Suspend Shaw because he is a oval office and the Bulldogs play GWS next week.
I actually do think he should be suspended (either by GWS or the AFL) just because you can't use slurs like that when they clearly come through on the broadcast. But then you get the people going "oh it's just sledging and everyone is so touchy and PC these days" who just don't understand that you can't be calling someone a retard if you're in a notable role.

edit: Angus Brayshaw has suffered another concussion. I think that's either his third or fourth suffered in two years.

Nah, its all OK, coz Heath is a good bloke who "deeply regrets" his comments and apologizes to "anyone who took offense."

Seriously though, whilst this does hit a few of the non-apology notes, it's not the worst of those kind of things that we have seen recently.

gently caress Shaw, it's unprofessional apart from anything else.

I'm going Cats against my Saints because I'm realistic about their chances. Our midfield can fire, and our defence is good, but if it ain't through the sticks, it won't count. Just not strong enough up front against good teams yet.

I tend to think Brayshaw should retire from footy, much as I'd love to see him play because of what he's shown. He's copped a seriously worrying number of concussions and someone needs to put his long term health first

Good efforts from both forwards and defence on both sides, but Saints midfield isn't troubling Cats much.

Yeah I feel the same; he hasn't copped a long term concussion but he's picking up enough smaller ones that they're going to add up before too long. People really need to realise that concussions aren't just caused by a whack to the head, it's the brain rattling about in the skull.

It's the G. The Attendance would look pretty bad at Etihad, but looks absolutely diabolical at the G.

I sure am glad the Hawks decided to show up the day the Habs get eliminated.

The crowd isn't too bad considering it's against west coast. It doesn't feel a whole lot smaller than it was when we were good against interstate teams.

Considering 2 of our losses have been the direct result of us running out of gas: Why the gently caress are we still playing Dunstan when he can't play over 65% game time? Also, Long shouldn't have got a game if the club wasn't 100% sure we could play a full 4 quarters.

Bruce is playing like crap and is a useless #1 target up forward that just dies when he goes into the ruck.

Really good team wide performance today. The senior guys really responded to the criticism this week thankfully, especially Cyril. Burton looks fantastic, Langford played well, Hardwick and Brand had good games. Roughy got to 500 😊


Edit Sicily and O'brien played good games too!
