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. 
    Crystal Clear actually

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
