John Burns, alleged racial abuse Friday night.

Recommended Posts

Haven't gone through all of this thread, so forgive me if I'm re going over what's been said. I'm not sure anyone can be certain what was or wasn't said, or that the truth will come out. Certainly the media will massage it beyond recognition. However, IF Burns did refer to Houli as a terrorist, even if he said for a laugh that his beard made him look like a terrorist, he is a fool. I do not believe a conversation had in public within earshot of others is a private conversation. Private means only the recipient/s hear it. It has been reported it was made sitting behind a couple of children, which imo would make him worse than a fool. It's not being PC or do-gooder to out this alleged comment as vilification, it's just the right thing to do. If it was said and overheard, it is vilification and offensive.

I am not a hacker and have no way of accessing his metadata, but can anyone here categorically assure me that Houli is not in fact a terrorist?

Hahaha - Bachar is one of the nicest blokes you would ever met, quietly spoken and takes his role as a "role model" very seriously. He categorically has not got a bad thought going thru his body. He is a family man, loving caring person and a credit to his religious beliefs. Great team man and very well loved at the Tigers. And a Tiger is the only T word I would use to ever describe him. Just for the record I've chatted with him twice at Richmond functions.

Why is Dr Who allowed to post on this forum?

I was trying for a Graham Gaunt effect, but Who will do.

I had to search that one, I do not remember him, and he played for us for 5 years, they were not memorable years.

A real factor here is that Burns was not sitting anonymously in a seat with a mate, he was a guest at a Richmond function. You don't talk about Richmond players like that even as a joke. It's not criminal, but extremely discourteous. He should have apologised without reservation.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
