not really deezman, you f*****d up, you apologised, which was good of you, just let it die a natural death and the ripostes will cease.

Fair call.

    I some ways Deesman has done us all a favour. By commenting as he did, it caused a series of comments pointing out with reasoned logic how utterly baseless racism is. Surely a good thing, and to Deezman's credit he has apologised. Let's move on...

    On the subject of the captaincy and Aaron Davey, I'm in two minds. On the one hand, he has done an outstading job of leading and mentoring our indigenous players, and make no mistake they are the x factor which will make us a powerhouse in years to come. They have such sublime skills that it gives us that extra we will need in the future. Whether davey would have the time time continue this mentoring role as Captain only the club can judge. On the other hand, the honour we would all feel in having an indigenous Australian Captaining the oldest football club in the world and see him holding the Cup above his head in 2014 when we win the flag on the 50th anniversary year of our last flag would be quite something. There is a certain symmetry to it. I only hope that big Jimmy will be there to see it.

    The other concerning have about Daveyas Captain is the way he sometimes doesn't handle heavy tags very well such as in the first game against Carkton this year. However, he seemed to learn from that and in latter games, played very well when sides tried to do similar things to Carlton.

    On balance I think the pluses out-weigh the minuses with Davey as Captain as I think he would make a very fine leader indeed. I also think Brad Green has shown outstanding leadership in the few times he has been acting Captain in the past so he would also be very good.

    Agreed and I sure hope this is what eventuates.

    For mine, I'm not a fan of having an Aboriginal captain. It's not being racist by any means... but I do feel that Aborigines seem to stick by one another a lot more - i.e. after games when they tend to all gather 'round one another etc.

    That's just my take. Aaron is great in recognising and promoting the indigenous community and I'd like to see him stick to that leadership role (and be added to the leadership group!).

    I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a Brad Green leading the charges.

    Wrong wrong wrong - by all means judge him on his ability as a captain but his ability as an aboriginal, caucasian, catholic, atheist, etc captain is wrong.

    but you told me lately we were both "s*** stirrers"

    rather passe, I'd rather be a "provocative m****r f****r", much more new-age

    E25 makes himself a rather large target, doesn't need your assistance

    Tis the silly season, but won't last for ever

    Was that flippant enough, doc?

    Let's not get indignant, DC...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
