High-profile Freo fans urge club to cut Woodside

Lmfao. Camel toes as far as the eye can see.lol.

Well Hostplus sponsoring a certain AFL team isnt a great look for an industry fund. And the CEO barracks for them?

I agree a balance between fossil a renewable power has to be, based on what is achievable with current technology. Renewables are way to far away to solely rely on them just yet, additionally the current technology of renewables is precious metal and materials heavy to the point that if we could manufacture all of these turbines, solar farms, storage batteries and the transmission infrastructure to support current and future requirements, the current known resources are not plentiful enough to manufacture it all; and then the problem of how do you maintain this infrastructure with no currently known resources, so unfortunately we will either have to wait for better tech to be developed or be prepared to live through cold winters without heat and hot summers without cooling if this current path is to be religiously followed. Remember some of these environmental experts said the rain in Australia would never be able to fill our dams again not that long ago and some of them who also claim that the sea levels are rising have purchased sea side properties, don’t trust celebrity environmentalists or those who own or are invested in the production of these renewable products as they have a financial interest.

What's with the rainbow stuff?

Waleed actually has an engineering and law degree and a PhD in politics. He lecturers in global terrorism. But he is also a preachy didactic media “commentator”. His beliefs are formed by the scriptwriter.

Go Port.Dixon to kick 40,Marshall 50,Georgiades 35,Rioli 38 Fantasia 30 and Rozee and JHF chipping in with 25 each :happy:

I look like the North end of a South bound camel. That’s what was reported in a court deposition about me. I broke a mirror looking it up to see if was true. I’m looking at 7 years bad luck. My lawyer thinks he can get me off in 4. ——– I see no value in being self-depracating

I am sure that West Coast would welcome Woodside and Atlinta as sponsors, if Freo developed a problem with accepting sponsors from the resource sector. These huge resource companies are a principal reason that W.A. clubs are becoming so wealthy and fiscally powerful. Many eastern states clubs can only dream of the amount of top shelf resource sponsorship dollars that are available to West Coast and Freo. Members pushing for banning sponsorship from the resource sector should be refunded and quickly shown the door - perhaps even referred to Netball Australia or even Cricket Australia....

What's even funnier Yattz is you waiting for Waleed Ali to tell you what to think.

There's a healthy practical balance somewhere with fossil fuels and renewables, but unless you're prepared to take risks to create and lead change then the hypocrisy doesn't come much greater than from those refusing to budge whilst the planet burns yet still sok ken off its t eat. It's even easier not to fight and do nothing if it's going to disturb your comfort zone; and to wait for others to lead the way. How is what you're espousing less virtue signalling than anything else? It's generally a weak lazy shallow argument too rattled by confrontation and who's skills are limited to throwing mud.

So much biblical malarkey in the comments, thankfully the old gods ask little except lead a noble life with enjoyment. Would prefer to spill blood in worship than the Corinthians blah blah on offer here.

When the players signed up, gambling ads were in the clubs sponsors list- the pride jersey was a shock and kept from them because they knew after Folau incident that PI players had an issue - in any case the V'landys liar chief of NRL keeps on calling it Pride round - rubbish in the schedule it was listed as Diversity round and only 1 other club had any rainbow stuff on it

I’m a Woodside shareholder. Was paid a nice dividend a couple of weeks ago.

Private planes don’t run on renewables and as far as I know Ferrari and other performance car companies don’t produce EV’s it not just your power company that contributes to your carbon footprint. They could also live in smaller homes instead of mansions with 20 bedrooms. Renewables are way to far away to solely rely on them yet and the technology is of renewables it rare precious metal and materials heavy to the point that if we could manufacture all of these turbines, solar farms, storage batteries and the transmission infrastructure to support it the current known resources are not enough so unfortunately we will either have to wait for better tech or be prepared to live through cold winters without heat and hot summers without cooling if this current path is to be religiously followed.

No, points were if you identify a so called problem then present a viable solution and unless you are also prepared to live with out the products companies like Woodside produce you are a hypocrite who is simply virtue signaling to the twitterverse. Additionally we would no be having this conversation if it was not for products produced by Woodside or other similar companies around this country. Do you support your great club stepping away from Ford as a sponsor? They produce significant amounts of carbon in the research and development of their cars as well as the world wide production of said cars and trucks not to mention the mining of the material to produce them. Do you also support the games to be played at GMHBA being day games because I’m pretty sure those lights are not carbon neutral and are in fact powered by gas and coal. I suppose it’s easy to fight for the environment when the effects don’t impact you and your life. Personally I support renewable energy and working towards a cleaner and greener environment however I balance these views to what is actually achievable. The only ones disadvantaged by Woodside being dropped is Freo, it won’t stop them (Woodside) producing.

Purple colours….purple colours …. I live like a fire cracker quick as a fuse de.d as a doormat the purple colours l choooooose, purple colours( while the Freo players strut the lyrics with beer in one hand & Asada approved lollie bag in the other on Camels of course :silly:

So because someone can’t do everything No one should do anything? Attitudes like that is why the world is in the poor shape it’s in.

The group that includes Kickett, McNeill, former WA premier Carmen Lawrence, author Tim Winton, Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist Bill Hare and former Woodside climate change advisor Alex Hillman. Easy to sit back and snipe from the bushes, about time they the green warriors put their own money where their mouths are and find the alternative to backfill lost revenue or dip into their own pockets or shut the hell up. Like most green leftists they easily identify roadblocks and why something is wrong , but almost never are they able to identify viable solutions to these so called problems. Are these people also suggesting all freo home games are played during daylight hours to reduce their carbon footprint or the team travel by a vehicle made from renewable materials and powered by renewable power, I doubt it very much these people should avoid being photographed in an air conditioned space or driving a car, flying in an aircraft for work or holidays unless they are happy to by hypocritical.

Wish you were in politics PB, I would vote for you :happy:

Correct, Malcolm Turnbull was very much backing the Paris Agreement to state that carbon emissions are measured by where they are burnt, not where they were actually dug up from.
