Yes he is a Black American who played basketball.
That doesn't mean he is a gangster rapper
That doesn't mean he wears his baseball cap backwards
That doesn't mean he is from the 'hood
That doesn't mean he has a big dick.
Just lay off the ignorant stereotypes and casual racism guys.
I know it isn't intentional, but it is quite noticable
There have been suggestions that Sam Fisher is acting beneath his age and needs to grow up.
I suggested that now that Holmes was coming Fisher might want to "put his hat on backwards and hang around the hood".
It was an attempt at humour more at Fisher's expense and the way he's been reported to have been acting rather than any preconceptions about Holmes.
The "big dick" is reference to "John Holmes" so its a joke about his name not his race. ( Similar to TOm Lee who shares a name with a Motley Crue bass player and may possibly be on the internet somewhere with Pamela Anderson ).
I hate having to explain jokes it ruins them. But keep digging I'm sure you'll find something.

Re: Just signed jason holmes
Would be a great thing. I think his biggest challenge will be just general positioning and how to not get burnt by your opponent. Starting out as a servicable ruck could have him playing pretty quick assuming his body is AFL fit.jmac101 wrote:said he has been studying the game on youtube.
hmm.. hope the first thing we do is buy him a fox footy subscription and make him watch the replays of every game this season over the summer.
time to fast-track mate.

Re: Just signed jason holmes
3rd string forward in his last season of college ball, for what ever reason not really part of the rotation regularly.
History of foot skills definitely doesn't hurt.
Hope he can push for some senior sandy games next year!

Re: Just signed jason holmes
Yeah, saw his a bit of his kicking action on the Saints website. Looks promising.matrix wrote:kicked all three shots at goal in the draft test
one from each side at 45 degrees 45 out
and the same from dead in front
got a huge cheer from all the ruck men there apparently
can kick a cherry already it seems
Re: Just signed jason holmes
Look if big Johnny makes it, it will be an absolute miracle. Experiment at best - love to be wrong.
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Mike Pike?
Probably more unlikely than likely but not a miracle I wouldn't think
Lance or James??

Re: Just signed jason holmes
No.... Jimmy Stynes played Gaelic Football... The closest game to AFL in the world? He first played AFL in 1982 and ended up a senior player 5 years later
Myke Pyke.... Elite Rugby Union Background ...... Tackling, physicality, shape of ball, professionalism and fitness.... None foreign to him
John Holmes.... A longer shot, Like Majak Daw... But not impossible

Every time I come on this board I get sucked into the world of pain and negativity. Then I read a post like this that makes me pee my pants.
Thank you good Sir.
PS...This bloke could be a ruckman.....but with some athleticism.
"Now the ball is loose, it gives St. Kilda a rough chance. Black. Good handpass. Voss. Schwarze now, the defender, can run and from a long way".....

Why is hard to believe someone can tower over Rooey? What a silly comment in the article.
