Keep an eye on Nev the next game,

always watching, one of my favourite things is seeing him win a 2 on 1, or spoil a bloke who is 10kg/cm bigger in a marking contest. In order of who I would pick 1st for the team he is in top 5.

1. Gawn

2. Oliver

3. Jones

4. Tom McDonald

5. Jetta

No way the guy who gut punched Nev doesn't get looked at.

They showed it on the replay, it is clear as day. He punched him and Nev went down, and we know Nev would never double over in pain unless something really hurt him!

Largely agree, and that was mostly what I was infering, but to be honest, I'm still open and think I could be convinced on the unconscious bias argument as well.

I don't actually think Australian socioty has much time for social minorities that speak up and speak loudly, openly and honestly on behalf of the disadvantage of their cultural background.  The Adam Goodes saga was evidence of that.  I think being a much shyer, lower profile type, Nev may not speak up when perhaps others might for fear of not wanting to bring these negative race based assertons upon himself. That in it's self may mean he gets walked over more easily in circumstances such as these.  Personally I'm under no illusions how much harder it must be identifing as indigenous in this county.

I was at a loss to explain why Nev had not been receiving a fair go from the umps, and was wondering of it was based on unconscious bias re race.The MRP has now made it clear I was wrong and everything is hunky dory...  Also for all of you having a go for using the term 'black fella' let me paste the words from one of my favourite Aussie  groups the Warumpi Band.

 

Black fella, white fella
It doesn't matter, what your color
As long as you, a true fella
As long as you, a real fella

All the people, of different races
With different lives, in different places
It doesn't matter, what your name is
We got to have, lots of changes
We need more brothers, if we're to make it
We need more sisters, if we're to save it
Are you the one that's gonna stand up and be counted
Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it
Are you the one that's always ready with a helping hand
Are you the one who understands these family plans
Black fella, white fella
Yellow fella, any fella
It doesn't matter, what your color
As long as you, a true fella
All the people, of different races
With different lives, in different places
It doesn't…

 

I remember having to sing this song for music class in primary school. Was pretty catchy.

I must admit the thought crossed my mind when listening to the way the commentators laughed about it when viewing the replay yesterday.

so now you think (briefly) that commentators having a laugh encouraged the ump to be subconsciously racist towards neville

i guess that would be telepathic-subconscious-racism 

this thread just gets weirder and wierder

Myself and Mrs Worship went up for this game and had a lovely time however I had a spontaneous moment where I yelled out "he's black not Fn invisible" this was a reaction I think based on a lot of previous observations and I'm not sure if it's coz I'm biased however I think Nev gets a raw deal a lot of the time. It was fabulous to hear the MFC supporters get behind him and I hope he heard the support that was given.

 I failed to see the funny side, wondered why they laughed. I wonder how they'd like to be punched in the balls...

Why was Day not cited for the late charge into Salem's back?  Honestly, of the two I think that was the more dangerous action. He wasn't even close to being in the marking contest, lined him up, ducked the shoulder and hit him right in the middle of his back.  Especially given the "NicNat rule," a guy of his size and weight, moving at that sort of speed could have caused a severe injury.  We're bloody lucky Salem is a tough bugger who shook it off.

you can go back to the game against the lions game at the gabba earlier this year when Jetta was pushed into a pack and pretty close to knocked out. No charge laid

No matter what bows have been drawn here. Nev seems to get a really rough deal.

Maybe it is colour related as we all know for a definite undisputed fact that no white maggot likes the colours RED and BLUE :mellow:

No i was very conflicted about which 5 go 1st, i deeply love Viney, he is heart and soul, this was purely on which names go one the board with permanent marker.Same with Hoges, but i think these 5 are the toughest to replace. If Jones wasnt there then Viney, but for me Jones is still the senior of the two...

Both the May & Day incidents occurred in front of our group at the Gabba. 

Nev was certainly out of the action for some minutes and if we were on MOR our penalty might be greater then one week. 

Whilst @Satyriconhome suggests Nev might laugh this off, on Mother’s Day, can we please remember sometimes family members might be directed to read what’s being said about their boy. We may mean no offence but offence may be taken.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
