A small dose of compassion for the plight of Liam Jurrah wouldn't hurt. White man has shat on them for 200 odd years. FFS we still celebrate Australia day with no insight to how that makes our indigenous population feel. Bogans Australia wide have tattooed the Southern Cross to their overweight bodies whilst waving the flag as some show of pride. All the while telling asylum seekers to rack off. If I had a choice the flag would be burnt and replaced with something that represented Australia as a whole, not some white, racist, ignorant minority who now yell louder than the rest of us.

For those who seriously think he should of publicly thanked us, get a life. We did nothing more or less than any other club or organisation would of done. Not to mention we milked his story for every penny it was worth.

Speaking as a resident of Central Australia, one of the things that has really frustrated locals during the Jurrah saga (I think we can turn that phrase now) is the media's infatuation with the fate o

Your last point is very valid.

Yeah, let's just live in a world where everyone's discourteous, ungrateful and couldn't give a fig. Be great.

Spare me the Kumbaya.. We're a football club, not an episode of Oprah.

To bastardise a quote from Lt. Vincent Hanna in the movie 'Heat' .... "Thank you was yesterday. Today, you're wasting my motherf.....ing time!".

Show some respect to the Anzac Soldier at least.

why? My Scottish Blood spent 6 months on a filthy ship in 1870 sailing to this great land. I have a copy of the captains log book.

A fascinating read..The southern cross is a long long way from the Union J.

Yes, and like many others I have family ties extending back as far as the first fleet... however, I like to believe that we are developed enough to stand on our own two feet and do not need to advertise to the rest of the world that we were part of the once great empire. If I didn't get the feeling that the original owners of this country might be offended, I would be happy to see the aboriginal flag replacing the union jack in the top left.

i think both Flags should be flown in unison myself.

I love the aboriginal flag, but i don't feel it is mine.

The black fellas have that one.

What we do both have is the southern cross.

Couldn't agree more WYL... but just as the aboriginal flag is not ours (the reason I stated that I believed they might be offended), I do not feel that the union jack is mine either.

Anyway, I wish LJ all the best :-)

No probs. i feel bloodlines to the U Jack from a distance which i like how our flag depicts it.

What does make me shudder is the thought of Australia as a republic voting in an Eddie Mcguire type as President with a new flag.

No thankyou.

As far as LJ is concerned he and to a lesser degree bruce have put him right behind the 8 ball.

Sad but there were choices.

So you are descended from boat people.

Scottish descendant formed a weird and tight fisted colony in one of the islands South east of Australia.

Their relatives live there today, have their own language , and their own form of humour.

The call them New Zealanders.

For a third world nation, they are very good at Rugby.

I'll give them that.

And it's a nice paddock for our horses to breed in.

If I read more of your world view it will have the same effect on me as burning the flag.

Perhaps he was concerned that burning flags might give off heavy doses of carbon monoxide?

Maybe we need to alter it, & make the U Jack smaller, & incorporate more of what is Indiginous to this Great Southern Land that homes us.

Heavens above, including the magnificent Southern Cross that is home to our Mother Earth!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
