I expect the next story to be criticism that the investigation is not external or independent. And that would be a fair criticism. I can't even see how Collingwood can see how this can play out well for them. If the review finds Collingwood's behaviour has been racist, the club will be criticised and, if that's the case, deservedly so. If the review claims Collingwood's behaviour has not been racist, it will be described as a cover-up and Lumumba will still be aggrieved.

    His beef is with Collingwood and nothing to do with us so I hope he continues to give them grief. BTW I used to be also nicknamed “chimp” but not for racial reason but because I could climb anything and do fancy acrobatics. If I were dark skinned however I would find the term very offensive. 

    Roosy has backed up Lumumba's account now too.

    Says a lot that even after so many adding their own accounts that Collingwood would need to 'investigate' them and have consistently used language that questions Lumumba's story.

    I am staggered that McGuire kept his jobs in the media after calling Adam Goodes King Kong. 
     

    If he had said it in the last month he would have been axed for sure. 
     

    H.L.is not going to let this go...

    Eddie loves Goodes... Not.!

    Eddie loves Winmar... Not.!

    Eddie loves Eddie Pie... Yes, thats it.

     

    I believe Lamumba.!

    Nice to see Roosy jump at the chance for a bit of cheap publicity and no doubt deflecting from the fact that we recruited an absolute lemon.

    It's shocking to have Lumumba's claims verified, even if it wasn't widespread or mean spirited what an idiotic playing group at the Pies. What I can't work out is why Lumumba has such a grudge against Buckley who was turning over the list and had the good sense to notice Lumumba's form and focus on football were both slipping.

    It seems the awful nickname was far more prevalent at the time Malthouse was coaching than Buckley, yet Lumumba's grievances are with Bucks.

    Our backyard isn't squeaky clean.

    I don't want to give media or anyone else amunition but most of you 40 or over will know who I'm talking about.

    There was a much loved indigenous player both by the players and supporters who had a nickname that never sat well with me.This isn't in hindsight.

    My take on it is that it's been clearly more aimed at Collingwood, but Buckley's lies about the whole situation have thrust him to the front of the subject. From memory, almost all the comments I've seen from Lumumba have been at Collingwood and the only time he's epcifically mentioned Buckley is when Buckley had denied the whole thing (and was then caught out later).

    All clubs will have these issues in their past.

    ...and if one of our ex players was aggrieved I hope we would apologise for poor behaviour.

    My take is the problem lies with Collingwood's refusal to admit fault.

    Heritier would like them to acknowledge what he says is correct and apologise.

    Players have come out and verified his story so why do Collingwood feel the need to launch some half a.... enquiry.

    I can understand his frustration.

    Yep. If they'd dealt with it properly in the first place it would be water under the bridge by now.

    Completely understand Hertier's stand on this. Just wants them to own up to it and apologise like decent human beings.

    This just keeps swinging over Eddie's head.

    but eddie cleaned the club up some years back, starting with the cheer squad, wasn't it. 

    Or was that just the outside,  with a black and white wash.?

    Much like another prominent leader frequently in the news, Eddie doesn't "do" apologies. He does bluster and big-noting himself.

    Come to think of it, why aren't YOU apologising to HIM???

    In some ways I think if clubs knew of some particular dirty laundry regarding this topic right now now would be the best time to come forward and acknowledge it and apologise. Collingwood have denied it for so long that to admit it now will kind of look hollow, as if they were forced into it.

    It wasn't a nickname at the club, it was an incident by G.Lyons during an Eagles game when he abused Chris Lewis who pointed out Charles to him, which Lyon said something along the lines "he understands".   Lyon apologised publicly and acknowledge how wrong it was expressed the same in his book at the time.  It was around the time of the stand by Kraker and the start of the changing culture of the AFL.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
