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.

Your last point is very valid.

If you burned that flag in front of me you wouldnt wake up for a week.
 

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!".

You've just demonstrated the perils of bastardising a Pacino quote!

don't you ever set fire to the southern cross anywhere near me Roost.

Same as i would never do that to the beautiful Aboriginal flag.

Show some respect to the Anzac Soldier at least.

Just cut out that piece in the top left portion.

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.

Everyone's been jumping on LJ's drink driving effort... what do we think will happen to the Suns forward Jacob Gillbee after blowing .137?

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!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
