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.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
