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.

also lumumba was at the filth for 10 years. pendlebury was only captain for 1 of those years

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. 

And another one.... gggeeezz it just must be Heritier calling himself bad names... same big names called out in this one.

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.
