Congratulations for taking this thread to a place that it didn't need to go anywhere near.

I don't think I took it there. if you go back through the thread you will see where it germinated.

    People are not critical of Liam because of the colour of his skin, people are critical of the offences. Liam's is a well broadcasted case, and has a connection to the MFC, which creates further interest. I do believe there was a thread recently about Nathan Carroll being arrested, and many strong views were published in that.

    Bloody near every thread on Demonland turns in to an attack (of varying degrees) or strong criticism of an individual or individuals. Watts cops it. Neeld cops it. Caroline Wilson cops it. Steven Milne cops it. Bill Vlahos is copping it. But as soon as an indigenous player cops it all of a sudden it's a racial attack?

    Justifiably or unjustifiably, everyone will have an opinion on a topic. I would strongly doubt that anyone on here would have different opinions on a topic because of the background of the individual/s in said topic.

    It's not uncommon, you just have to look at America, where people are labelled racists for simply pointing out that Obamacare is a flawed system

    My only comment in all of this is maybe this thread ought to be moved to the general discussion area as any relevance to a player being Melbourne is all but well and truly on the scrap heap.

    What has being involved in a high speed car chase got to do with Liam's skin colour or race?

    He has made many trips to Adelaide lately from his home.

    From his facebook entries not always in a good frame of mind.

    I don't want him to kill himself or his kids who often ride with him or take out another car if he is speeding whilst stoned or drinking.

    He has had too many chances already.

    I have the same attitude towards any person.

    He is a danger to himself and others

    It was inevitable billy. Always happens when the topic centers around indigenous Aussies.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
