Seems to me you have a problem with peoples race.

No just middle class white boys telling me everyone is equal

 

Guys can we all take a breath and calm down.

The only thing worst than "The tragic downfall of Liam Jurrah" is the level of debate on this thread.

Please take a spell

There racist comments, it doesnt matter what colour you are.

I am with mjt here. I think all people should abide by the same rules.

I do not agree with different set of rules and laws based on the color of your skin.

There aren't separate rules, hence why Liam is in court.

Sorry, just got the impression people were implying that their should be in a sence when talking about his background and such.

I certainly have no issue with that.. what I do have an issue with however, are the likes of ThreeOneSix and mjt presuming guilt without having any of the facts available to them. If they are going to insist on one set of laws, then they must also insist on LJ's right to be judged innocent until PROVEN guilty.

Yeah, some here like the notion of that, but reality is the law applies to all. Other things are taken into consideration, sure, but the law is the law.

Sorry Old Dee, but when someone effectively states an accused is guilty before a trial they need to be criticized. This is one of our basic freedoms, fought for over centuries. If they think they can justify their medieval position by saying the legal system is screwed or comparing it to a government they don't like, then they need to go live somewhere where there is no rule of law. I doubt mjt would enjoy that unless his buddies were running the place.

BTW Olisik, I don't think anyone has argued that the rules should depend on the colour of your skin. I thought people were referring to understanding an individual's circumstances. The law is the law, but if courts don't take into account an individual's circumstances, you end up transporting a starving mother for stealing a bit of bread or her kids.

But you are right old dee - a spell is in order -there is little point in arguing with some people on these sorts of issues.

I hope Liam gets a fair trial. He has a right to that.

I have been critical of other parts of his "stardom"

There is no doubt he has been used by others to a degree.

But a fair trial is a right.

Your racist against White Australians, your posts are a disgrace.

If he gets off, should we redraft him?

Your outrage ( warranted) is getting lost by your classification. Attack the education, level of ignorance and intellect of the poster and the only thing you can be accused of is being smarter.

To late for that, he showed his cards.

What do you classify yourself as? Just exactly who do you accept advice from?

I'd have to say that is a pretty racist comment to make and I hope you regret it.

Prosecution witness saying he saw Basil Jurrah armed with a machete and with a gang of his own, before he was hurt. Also said he didn't see Liam hit Basil and that he was half tanked. If he is the standard of witness for the prosecution in this trial Liam will be ok.

From a long way away.....I can't see how this case will be proved.......Most of the witnesses on both side were under the influence of Alcohol.....

The real evidence will be somewhere between The prosecution and the defence's stories......It's just who the jury believes.......

9 out of 10 cases involve alcohol or drugs.

If my lack of pride in tattooed, flag waving, ignorant bogans makes me racist so be it

I'm a white Australian who bemoans our lack of engagement with our aboriginal people.

I take advice from people more intelligent than me

You can read my remarks regarding my supposed racism above

The more you post the further you dig, anyone thats a racist like yourself should be banned from this forum.

That doesn't narrow the field much.

So any one who disagrees with you fits in to that category do they?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
