Alex Georgiou was only with us for one season, but moves back home to Norwood and is now the Skipper of my beloved Redlegs.

Good luck to him and the boys on their journey to go Back to Back to Back to Back!

Yeah baby!

    And other ex-Demon Jace Bode is in that leadership group which also includes Matt Panos who a few around here would have liked to have seen us draft t the end of last year.

    Good leadership material?

    The same bloke with the great judgment of dressing up with Terlich, as the schoolgirl opposed to Rolf Harris..?

    Ok then.

    Yes. Let's judge his leadership based on one not so good choice that upset a few people.

    Yeah it was a pretty horrible thing that they did. I hope he's sorry and apologised.

    It wasn't a spur of the moment decision, plenty of time to realise it was a carp idea.

    He shouldn't be hung on one decision, but it's a recent example of a lack of decent decision-making.

    Are you really trying to compare the Charlie Hedbo saga to making light of child abuse?

    I'm all for Charlie Hedbo and offending anyone for their stubborn and idiotic beliefs, but making light of child abuse victims is the type of offensive behaviour we should all be against.

    So it's ok to make light of child abuse, as long as it's Mad Monday?

    Good to know.

    Norwood probably based their decision on more extensive knowledge than yours. You're clearly deeply attached to your own judgement, however.

    I actually think the MFC players acted (intentionally or otherwise) in a form of satire. I don't believe they had any intent to make light of child abuse, quiet the opposite. With taboo subjects I'd rather people out in the open making jokes than afraid to criticise and sweeping under the rug. That's the hallmark of those who allowed these things to happen for so long.

    Somewhere in the world there are (so proclaimed) Islamic nutbags who probably don't care about Rolf Harris, yet find photos such as the one I posted as extremely upsetting. Of course I think they are nuts and you have nothing but good intentions in criticising Georgiou. But exactly where do you draw the line between what is offensive and what isn't? I don't believe it but I can understand why some people think their god is pretty sacred and important whilst Rolf Harris isn't no matter how evil he is.

    That's what free speech means and the right to offend and be offended (which doesn't excuse bullying, harassment or otherwise).

    You aren't hanging him. You aren't barging in to his work armed and shooting the place up. But you are suggesting he doesn't deserve a promotion and an opportunity based on one incident that happened in his spare time, that wasn't criminal and wasn't intended to hurt anyone and if it did the responsibility might have to go to the media who made a fuss about it more than him anyway.

    They weren't "making light of child abuse" at all, they were ridiculing Rolf Harris. Which is a completely different thing, almost the exact opposite.

    So why was one of them dressed up as a school girl?

    Well I thought that was key to the ridicule Wormburner. Their intent was to innocently ridicule Harris for being a [censored] pedophile, so one dressed as a young girl and the other as Harris.

    Do you really not get where they were coming from, dumb though it was? Hey, I thought it was risky, dumb, naive and in poor taste, but without an ounce of malice toward child abuse victims, nor were they intending to portray child abuse as a less than serious offense, which was the only point of my comment above.

    The Melbourne players hearts were in a good place, they're good guys, they just stupidly, naively as kids do, underestimated how some would view their silly joke. They've been heavily whipped publicly, they apologized, hopefully their punishment should all be over now.

  • Quote

    I understand fully well where they were coming from, and to not eventually realise that some could find that very offensive, shows incredibly poor judgment.

    I don't find it offensive, and I enjoy offending people, and think it's sometimes important to be offensive, but they are not the qualities you need to display as the captain of a football club.

  • Quote

    Well he wasn't captain then. Hopefully the box ticked off on another dumb thing in life as we have all done. Some of the qualities of great former captains certainly made them not ideal citizens. I can think of a few greats who should have been in prison rather than leading football teams.

    Enough on the references to Mad Monday. I say congratulations Georgiou, thanks for filling in a hole created last year when we were missing Clark and Hogan, and good luck in taking Norwood to their fourth Premiership. Let us see at the end of this season whether Georgiou's performance this year vindicates Norwood FC's faith in him.

    Yes and Yes CBD I was about to suggest that the thread should be renamed "Slanging Match 1644'

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
