With just about everything for indigenous recognition will there be an Indigenous Bi -Sexual All Star competition any time soon ? Just imagine "that person "wrapping his rainbow scarf and the blackfella rag around his neck at his 36th Mardi Gras .He would be a legend in his own mind .

Have we noticed that in this now boring culture, one aspires to mediocrity & not perfection like we used to? "Okay" is king & even failure is applauded?( I am applying this in case it hasn't been obvious to heterosexuality which surely should be gold-standard for the continuation of our sadly fallen race!)

At the end of the day, in the fullness of time etc - who gives a rat's bottom what this bloke pokes? Just a headline grabbing stunt in a declining career. One of those euphimisms like " the public has a right to know". No we don't and don't want to know the revelation from some sad bastard.

Surely this is a private matter? Why do the rest of us have to know? Anyway, who cares?

We have entered a new age in History. From the Dark Ages to the Age of Enlightenment to the coming return of the Dark Ages. More likely, the Age of Insanity

Up there Cazaly, still a popular footy song with the AFL these days? Maybe it's out of vogue due to DEI?

I'd still warn all players not to bend over to pick up the soap, in the club showers!

Crazy stuff that people feel the need to advertise their sexual preferences. Most decent people really don’t care about what another person does in their bedroom, assuming it’s legal and concentual.

The pendulum always seems to swing way too far in a particular direction before it inevitably corrects.

One intelligent ex-champion said a player won’t come out because they won’t want to be forever introduced as ‘first gay player Joe blogs’ regardless of playing achievements. We really don’t care, don’t need to know, just kick mark tackle goal and don’t get reported!

Anyway is bi as ‘significant’ as gay? I suppose if that’s all that’s on offer media with grab it.

I thought bisexuality was a bit old hat! It was quite trendy during the 70's / 80's...hardly something to declare now..As long as this bloke declares his inclinations to any woman he might pursue...or bloke for that matter . Why can't the AFL just focus on sport..please.

Interesting that a guy who plays 94 games in 10 years is heralded a ‘Legend’. Obviously not a legend of the game itself.

I’m with you James - who really cares?🥱

FYI.. an Ai overview...>>."Meh" is an informal expression of indifference, apathy, or a lack of strong feeling. It signifies that a person is not excited or enthusiastic about something and does not have a strong opinion on the matter at hand. It is often used as the verbal equivalent of a shoulder shrug, conveying a sense of boredom or that something is mediocre and unremarkable.

I think the condition is ‘attention deficit disorder’. I understand this blokes former wife has expressed support. No need to wonder why ‘former’.

The Idea is bound to fail...We've seen too many innovative Justices make a meal of their cases and Justice is still blind!
