  1. Like all Australian sporting bodies soccer Australia has shown their racist woke agenda by failing to criticise the drunken racist rant of a player.

      • Luke Ferguson Sam Kerr is a great player. But imagine if a white player did something similar when drunk. Do you think Pat Cummins would get away with something similar. Personally I thought that the British law was stupid in that you could be prosecuted for saying something upsetting to someone.

      • Phil Harvey mate the amount of shit male NRL players get away with is insane .. jarryd hayne went to jail for bloody rape and got out not long ago and his just about to start playing again 😳… sam said a few shit choice words while on the piss when some dumb cunt cops werent listening to what she had to say…. she said “can you please listen to the recording” about 20 fkn times and they still didn’t listen 🤷‍♂️… I would of been calling them alot worse then what they acctually were and saying they were stupid and white lol … they were obviously stupid coz they didn’t listen the first 20 times she said it.. and white well they are white get over it lol🤷‍♂️.. even the bloody judge said it shouldn’t of been a matter for the court

      • Luke Ferguson she did the wrong thing. Should she be prosecuted. No

        But Tim Paine got the boot for a lot less

      • Phil Harvey yeah wasn’t sure coz I don’t know who Tim paine is … so I can’t say much about him.. but I just thought it was ridiculous how many men were putting sam down for calling a cop stupid and white lol I was thinking ffs half of yas probably say worse to them every weekend 😂 🤦‍♂️.. I thought it was very soft for alot of Aussies to say it was career ending lol .. as I said there’s alot of NRL supporters that were jumping on the bandwagon to put sam kerr down and out of the squad while their NRL hero’s get into punch ons every week and some get away with sexual assault and rape lol even drugs … and sam got flogged for this few words.. just sounded very unAustralian to not support one of our best players… if it was drugs or a violent episode etc no worries .. but I thought us Aussies were hard to upset with words lol

      • Phil Harvey you have an instance where a a ‘white player ‘ got sick in a taxi and lost the Australian captaincy

      • Phil Harvey my god. You’ve deliberately overstated Paine’s resignation, in order to belittle the women’s game.
        Fact: paine was exonerated, but chose to relinquish the captaincy because he didn’t want the lewd, crude, texts he sent to another women, made public. He was married at the time.

        • Howard Mason says the racist. Every single person who uses ‘woke’ in that way is a racist. Every. Single. One. Guarantee you use racial slurs on the regular.

    • Howard Mason how is it racist to support a non guilty player? You use woke like it’s an insult. Only a far right neo nazi extremist uses that terminology. Funny because they are the biggest racists there are.

      • Bryce Richard if a white person called a black person what she did all hell would have broke loose. And woke, a women’s soccer team in NSW has male players. And only a true woke communist would call a conservative the names you called me.

      • Howard Mason wtf has a tem in nsw git to do with Sam Kerr uou dumb fuck? I geddit. Your an insecure afl flog . Kerr was not guilty Adolf. Deal

    • Howard Mason thrown out of court. Do you understand that there was no charge able to be brought to court.
      Copper took 11 months to figure out his inner self was hurt.
      Wanker

    • Howard Mason then why was she cleared dickhead, I bet your a closet racist behind closed doors like the popo

  2. The Matildas rose to new heights after heroic semi-final astonishing broadcast figures at 11.15m viewers.

    NINTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE NEGATIVITY AGAINST SAM KERR WOULD BE AFL FANS AND REDNECK LYNCH-MOBS.
    ALONG WITH KYLE SANDILANDS AND MARTY SHEARGOLD!!

    AFL players get off taking illegal drugs, trafficking drugs, bashing woman, racism a plenty and by AFL’s main stream personal and by team management, players and in AFL HQ, sex with young girls working in AFL HQ were by married men with children, drunk driving, sex with team mates wife in toilet, AFL player alleged rapes, drunken night club fights, deadly brain damaging attacks to oppositions head, on field fighting.

    AFL CHAMPION, LEGEND, HERO! Are a dime-a-dozen!

    Richmond premiership player Noah Balta’s case for assaulting Thomas Washbrook has been adjourned after ‘wild’ CCTV vision of the incident was shown in Corowa Local Court. 📌 MORE: https://7sport.link/4hH7e6N 7AFL #7NEWS

    We know Australians AFL the biggest backyard game with its dime-a-dozen superstars, greats, heroes and brain damaged players have grouped! AFL All Australian Team 😂 play with themselves, not even against NZ on the ANZAC day game. Australian Football has the true ALL AUSTRALIAN TEAM along with League and Union….

    • Roman Kaminski 100%. Well said Champ. If you live more than 10km from your state parliament you don’t have an afl team!

    • Roman Kaminski clown, most of us want to see Sam back but not until she has served some sort of penalty for her disgraceful behaviour. After all there is a thing called equality and no way should they give her a leadership role especially captain.

      • Michael Fetherstonhaugh You are just another one of those rednecks hypocrite racist you white supremacist.

      • Roman Kaminski I’m indigenous to Australia, that’s more than we can say for Sam. Goose 🪿

      • Michael Fetherstonhaugh if you are most likely a coconut wanting to be white. BWT you fool Sam was found not guilty. Can you get that through your head!

      • Roman Kaminski her behaviour had nothing to do with the racism call. Get your facts right. End of story

  3. The usual suspects on here happily revealing their sexism, misogyny, homophobia and racism to the world. Usually males (and the odd crumb maiden – and I do mean odd) confused and scared that other people (mainly women), people who aren’t like them, people who are less important than them, people who threaten the position they’ve enjoyed for decades (and longer), can get a word in these days and don’t know their place.

  4. Go Matilda’s, just ignore the righteous people who have never ever made mistake in front of the media, and are still raving on about it., go well Sam

    • Robyn Mulhallen go well Sam. Haha. OMFG.
      She isn’t even playing last I heard today.
      She’s doing what she does best.
      Warming her ass on the bench

  5. Matilda’s are at their lowest ranking in over 20 years. Lost their last 3. Maybe stop reading the headlines and actually playing football. Sam Kerr should not be captain. We all heard and saw her in the footage. I despise racism on any level. Old Chinese saying. When a fish dies it stinks from the head first. I have two beautiful daughters who I support and love very much. I think I have taught them to be tolerant of other people’s race religion and culture even if it conflicts with your own beliefs. By all means believe in and promote your own beliefs but respect others. Lions 🦁 Club International Code of Ethics. Remember that in building up my own business it is not necessary to tear another’s down.

  6. Just as a matter of interest the attendance at the Matilda’s game was almost 38,000, what was the total attendance for both the Panthers an later the South’s games. Hope all you nay- sayers are pleased, you said they would struggle to stay relevant, hope 38,000 shuts you up. Just take a look at the young kids at the Matilda’s game.

  7. Matildas 🫵🇦🇺 yeah my babe’s Samantha’s womens football team, you all look beautiful just like my babe samantha may kerr 🇦🇺🫵🥰🥇🏆💛💚⚽️
