Honestly, how do we know there are any boos based on racism to begin with?

Because the media tell us?

Because, well, there's racist people out there, so there must be some percentage that are doing it for that reason?

It's all supposition.

Do we have to go round in this circle again?

Having locked a previous thread I've felt disqualified from commenting until now, but I'm also getting to the point of wondering why this thread needs to stay open.

What this whole episode has shown is there aren't two sides to the issue, there's dozens and if anything it's creating good robust discussion for the most part.

The booing is of poor taste and has escalated to bullying levels, but was it always racially motivated? I don't think so and to label all people who have booed him in the past as racist is unfair and a gross generalisation.

Can I just point out that this is the tightrope I have been trying to walk for days - people from both sides want to push you either way - and of course I don't agree that it is entirely race based.

Another gross generalisation is that all booing is racially based whish is the asinine argument that I am seeing everywhere as a way of ignoring all of this talk.
 

Who has an older continuous culture Forkem? Name one!

I don't believe any race needs to be preserved over another.

Cause that is racism.

Sorry, didn't read the previous one.

No wading through where there is zero chance of intelligent discussion, as opposed to slim.

Where in hell did I say race? Race and culture are two different things. Unless of course our culture is the same as Germany's, or France, or Denmark, etc etc etc.

But watching that clip he appears to have no understanding of the game, which is why it doesn't occur to him that people would boo Goodes simply for the way in which he plays the game.

Wrong Mac5. Waleed Aly is a fanatical Richmond supporter. People of Egyptian heritage follow the footy too

So you were able to conclude that there was nothing intelligent in a thread you didn't read. Yeah, right.

Not really a problem in Australia...

I don't mean to be glib but the Indigenous race has seen the opposite - successive colonies and governments have attempted to do preserve the white race over any other.

I don't want to open up a can of worms but if someone else does, I don't mind getting my hands in there.

The thread needs to stay open 'Dr John', there are many opinions on this issue and they all deserve to be heard no matter how wrong they might seem to others.

Unfortunately it's the biggest story in football and is very divisive but hear everyone out...

So long as no one is being defamed it should continue.

It may also stand to educate some on broader issues faced in the Indigenous community outside of the whole Goodes saga. That can only be a good thing, I know I have learnt a thing or two today.

Hopefully Goodes has played his last game. Football and politics don't go together.

It would be fantastic if we could just get back to football.

The game has just become a platform for lefties to push out their issues onto the broader public.

Gil needs to go, the job should have always been opened up to outsiders.

The public have had enough, they just want to get back to basic football.

What a deplorable shambles our great game has become, the people are speaking by switching off in droves.

And it's pretty sad when issues like the Goodes issue will create a spike in viewers for a short time, then we'll wait for another issue.

This is just political football, due to those in charge, the AFL has pushed us in this direction - where football and politics are combined.

So now they NEED these issues. What a joke, [censored] off Gil.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
