I must admit Buckley's silence has been deafening.

Good to see some heat on Scott Pendelbury finally.   He has been there longer than anyone besides Eddie and is suddenly Mr Invisible when the [censored] hit the fan.

    well he did sign the team apology statement and for all we know he might have been instrumental in it

    we don't know what he has done or is doing within the club

    he's not obliged to publicly say anymore. people will judge him either way

    he has always come across as a very polite and considerate person, so no need to pass any cheap criticism on him

    Buckley is the one who needs to stand up...

    He's a great media performer, has all the right words to say, comes across as well balanced and honest but on this it's crickets.

    From the article - This is a tweet from Shae McNamara.

    Nick Maxwell, You were his brother, for real. He lived with you and you named your dog after him because it’s black. Your silence in choosing your self-preservation with the club is really disappointing.

    so Shae is potting everyone and like the report he's very lacking in any evidence or details. Its hard to judge when the only thing it seems mentioned is the chimp nickname which has been debated everywhere.

    I hate the pies and Eddie, but what on earth is he actually talking about ?

    It’s quite easy to work out what he is talking about.

    Ok Dieter I don't mind that you disagree with me but don't tell me I don't know how racism works because I am a wog as well and I copped racism all through school.

    I've also worked on a number of Indigenous Communities in the NT and am proud to count maybe 20 to 30 Aboriginal people as good friends or at least solid acquaintences so I know very well how racism works.

    A wog? But surely if you are using the term yourself, that means you don't mind it.

    I'm glad that's settled.

    All depends on the context & who said it. It could result in a laugh, a punch up or nothing at all. I generally didn't like it but I didn't worry about it too much.

    Actually the new pommy kids copped it worse than the wogs.

    True.  I don't want to be part of the pile on, lord knows its already bad enough.  It is just surprising he has not fronted the media yet, well maybe he has and I missed it. 

    Actually its wise of him or anyone else to avoid the media, they will just twist words to feed their narrative anyway.

    I imagine ours and other clubs pasts are similar and man it’s hurtful to read these kinds of stories. I really hope with the guidance of Wrecker and Jetta there are better support networks for indigenous players and staff and our players are better educated.

    So someone who was at the club, in the playing group is not taking sense? Lol sure!

    The best way to deal with this is burn the joint to the ground and round up anyone ever involved with the club and put them on trial.

    Perhaps not a surprise that it comes from an American.

    “Hilarity” doesn’t quite work here. Leon nails it in his article.

    Leon Davis' story is in many ways even more uncomfortable reading. I'm surprised we haven't heard more about it. 

    So his team mates filled out his player profile for him did they? That sounds familiar. When Leon's parents called a meeting with the club about it, Leon, the victim of the racism, was ostracized by the playing group for daring to speak up. 

    No wonder young Indigenous players felt they couldn't say anything or complain about their treatment. There was no support at all, only the possibility of more harm directed towards them.

    Shameful.

    What's an acceptable amount of identity based guilt?

    Just read the usual suspects posts here for an idea.
    If you can stomach the santimony.

    I can understand when people get bit tired of Lumumba...he may be seen as a merchant by many but it doesn't mean his point/s are not valid.

    When someone like Davis comes out with like comments surely all of us would take a bit more notice.

    Call it woke or another silly name, but I would think maybe things are a bit crook.

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • 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?
