He's not white, and has managed to overcome the ball and chain, broken glass, hurdles and uneven surface.

No he had to come from a poor background with a infamous father, many recruiters look at potential draftees families, am sure many kids from his background have been marked don't recruit, comes from a bad family.

Maybe you should take a leaf from the BLM playbook and use this excuse to riot, score a new TV, bash a few white folk and burn down the MCG.

The lack of self awareness and hypocrisy of the preaching Left is astounding.

Are you serious? "people on this forum need a reality check" bla bla....

The whole point of this forum is to come here and take cheap shots at the opposition when they are down and laugh at their ignominy rather than turning on our own. Maybe you are unaware of the history of the rivalry between melbourne and collingwood?

We can use any mainstream social / liberal narrative we like to tell our story, which is what it is - a story.

If you come here for a correct and deep social analysis you have come to the wrong place.

Go back to QAnon for that.

Even though i think Eddie should go I dont think sacking him is the way to go he should resign under his own steam and show he is at fault for allowing this culture to continue to fester at the club.Giving a nick name to a player is fine as long as its not done with malice ,example bob Skilton was nick named chimp because of his appearance but with no malice intended.Its not just racism at collingwood its their supporters , members and admin who have no respect for anyone outside of collingwood ,a law unto themselves.My wife and I were guests in the members in 80s ,we took the abuse for awhile mainly aimed at my wife (apparently you are not allowed to be good looking girl) totally lost it when a toothless wonder grabbed her bum,my collingwood mates were big blokes and fought our way back into the bar wasnt much better in there .Its the culture all round the club that has been built up over many years of no respect for anything or anyone,thats why they are hated by  every other club across the afl

My first thought was that Emirates, as key sponsors, would be horrified. However, having been sent this photo from a mate in Germany, it may not even raise an eyebrow (shout out to @dieter)...

Took a long time for the penny to drop. Sometimes people need a good public kick up the proverbial to wake up to themselves.

Good point fd. Endured a similar experience to yours in the 90s. Location was the MCG in the Southern Stand where Collingwood members were guests at a luncheon before the game in rooms behind us. These men were dressed like businessmen, suits, ties etc. Now you would think their behaviour would be appropriate to the fact they had been invited to a formal lunch and to listen to speeches given by various people from the AFL. But no. They acted like ferals let loose for the day. Banging on the glass and yelling abuse at us while they were downing the free booze. When they came out to their seats for the game it only got worse. One ahole was abusing two little kids ( Melbourne supporters/members) seated across the aisle from him so much they were in tears. He was finally taken away by security, still swearing and raving, although they took their sweet time about it, and only when we complained. It seemed like no one wanted to do anything against these ba#$ard$. 

It was shocking. What I found most shocking was MFC let it happen and did nothing to control these people. The Collingwood arrogance was astounding. It was like they knew they were untouchable.

The Collingwood degeneracy transcends race, colour and creed.

Let us not forget the cowardly filth supporters who attacked Nathan Jones dad in the MCG carpark as a very young Zak Jones looked on helplessly.

Also clearly recall them spitting on Allen Jakovich at Victoria park and no doubt countless other players.

I actually knew those guys, went to school with them. I will tell you now it wasn't the first time they had done something like that either, just the first time they got caught.

It was a pretty sad family background, mum was a heroin addict and the dad spent most of their childhood in prison for a pretty high profile shooting.

In the early 1990's I was a part-time taxi driver. One Saturday morning I was hailed by three 'ladies' at the Elizabeth Street exit of Flinders Street Station. I drove north, reached La Trobe Street to to a right hand turn - the dreaded hook turn - and because of Vic Market there was a lot of traffic. A 'hero' decided to run the light and he got stuck halfway, blocking La Trobe Street traffic heading East, and ruining my opportunity to do my turn. I mumbled 'Knuckf...le' and eventually was able to deliver the ladies to Victoria Park. The Lady in the front passenger seat paid and before she got out she said, I also which to protest at the disgusting language you used in the city. I looked her in the eye and said, Please, go gather your fine ladies, get them back to the safety of my car, you are about to enter the Armageddon of filth. You ain't heard nothing yet...

Interesting hearing Virginia Trioli interview Taylor Adams this morning.

A real interviewer asking pertinent questions that our footy journos wouldn't even come close to asking.

She threw the grenades and let them hang out there for a bit but in the end let him off the hook.

He's not the sharpest tool but did his best to tow the company line.

A rabbit in the spotlight.

She didn't go in for the kill but left enough out there for you to draw the conclusion...

Yeah I know who the the scumbags father was. Not sure if its common knowledge or not.  Amazing that he was ever allowed back out on the streets after the damage he did to his poor victim and how high profile a case it was, but thats the Victorian criminal 'justice' system for you.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
