it's certainly around od.......but as far as indigenous folk go it's certainly not as bad as it was, nor is it getting worse (imo)

i agree that racism and humans goes hand-in-hand

I think the difference now dc is that it is not as overt as it once was sadly I will stay with my opinion that racial discrimination is getting worse.

    Sorry bloke, if you are actually talking about the Stolen Generation etc, yes it is not as bad as that, but try having a chat to some indigenous folk, their answers may surprise you

    like i said it is definitely around

    but i go back a fair while and at least imo it was much much worse in the past (stolen generation aside)

    this is not in any way to suggest that things aren't bad now

    Disgraceful. People are ignorant morons.

    Well done to Jetta for reporting it and to the Dogs for taking a stand.

    Some people are seriously just wasting oxygen in this world.

    The moment he was identified he should've been taken to an interview room. Either a bad procedural breakdown or the wrong procedure.

    Lifetime bans for these idiots. Nothing less.

    i find it strange that security guards were all over melbourne supporters a few years go holding anti tom scully signs and money bags but could not take some one away for making rascist remarks. There priorities are .....

    I beg your pardon.

    I am sure after interviewing someone it would be easy to find out the team they support.

    Sorry Wyl he is right, speaking from years of experience interviewing people, especially the type of person who would stoop to this level will not be to forthcoming and the team being deducted the points would want to presented with a fairly decent brief of evidence to cop the penalty.

    Whilst in theory your idea puts the onus on the clubs, to many issues would arise.

    Name shame is another consideration, however you then have the problem of the young girl in the Goodes matter who is really to young to be understand the seriousness of what she is doing and naming and shaming her does nothing.

    Big issue with no easy solution

    Excuse me? I didn't say it surprises me, I said it angers me. I don't appreciate being told I need to get out more. How would you know?

    Ok I appreciate your sensitivity

    Correct you did not say surprised.

    Can I say I am surprised you are so angry?

    Sorry if I upset you Nasher.

    That may be the wisest thing said on this thread so far PSD

    Cultural change takes time. Behaviour associated with drink driving, sexist behaviour and smoking in public places have all taken a long time to improve. Unfortunately defeating racism is another long haul. But it has to be done and Peter Gordon and the Bulldogs are to be commended for their prompt and firm approach in this matter.

    On the train home from the game Saturday, very crowded and I was standing in the aisle. SE Asian mum and two little boys sitting down. She motions to one kid to give his seat to a bloke standing there and as he does, the bloke calls him a little (illegitimate) and then asks his little brother "What jungle were you born in?". I said "Did I hear you right?" and was about to give him one of the remaining fragments of my mind, but he wouldn't meet my gaze and when I looked I saw that he was a hunched, miserable looking bloke with all the signs of a pretty hard life. I let it be.

    Edit: illiteracy

    Typical conspiracy theory born out of MFCSS but I really hope this wasn't the reason Nev was a late out on Saturday.

    Good on the bulldogs and shame they didn't catch the guy so he could be educated and rehabilitated.

    George Brandis has said "everyone has a right to be a bigot". If these clowns stay in power, this stuff will be permitted as some freedom of expression. Get used to it I fear.

    I was highly impressed with Peter Gordon's response.
    Incredibly sad that this crap still exists.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?
