The simple fact of history is that in the past five hundred years - with very few exceptions - nearly all of the rape and pillage has been an exclusive White Man Christian thing

The depths of your ignorance of global history ironically displays your Eurocentric worldview.

    6 Matches is not enough, i am of the view that if a player makes a comment like this they should be given a zero strike policy, they should be sacked on the spot. 

    AFL players carry a responsibility to be role models and how many feral Adelaide Supporters, and wider supporters (Collingwoods entire base) will now think it's okay to say things like this because Tex did 

    With that attitude its a good job you are not sitting as a judge in the NT juvenile courts.  The rate of incarceration with your attitude would be close to 100% with a large number of Indigenous people included.

    I will be booing Tex next time he plays against us. I detest racism.

    He may be lucky to get a run in the VFL next year.  Eddie etc will be grateful that Tex has come along to be the very public face of racism in the AFL.

    Without deflecting from how awful this issue is, it also points out how much of a train wreck the Crows still are.  All the boot camps in the world can't change a culture like that.

    I don't know why every time the issue of racism comes up on Demonland pompous windbags like you & Flaubert have to come on and show your chardonnay socialist credentials by lecturing everybody with your distorted historical perspectives.

    Has life got boring now Marxism has been debunked ?

     

    It's the perfect system for perfect people and that's its fundamental limitation.

    That’s less than 50 words. 

    Does that satisfy you?

    Back to the more serious nature of Tex Walkers's poor behaviour and the kind of culture it could foster within your team and environment  - including opponents and fans of both clubs. It's a massive leadership fail - the antithesis of creating a safe environment where people feel safe and are more likely to flourish - providing they are putting the required effort in. By way of contrast, listen to Paddy Mills talk about the culture of the Boomers in his interview after the bronze medal match; that's leadership!

    What is on the other side of that argument?

    What is the statute of limitations on the stolen generations? Death in custody? The Tuskegee experiments on the US when the govt gave blacks suffering from syphillis ‘healthcare’ in the 70s.

    When does a country’s or a people’s collective conscience wash that away and absolve themselves through the guise and excuse of time?

    20 years? 50 years? Depends. Or this just another excuse for inaction and passing of blame?

    For the record, I was just trying to lighten things up. I don't fight on the internet because doing so is like a repechage: even if you win, you are still a loser.

    rpfc, why would you rate taylor walker's apology video with a vomit emoticon?
     i struggle to understand that type of response

    i didn't detect an ounce of insincerity or defensiveness

    it doesn't change anything but was at least a step in the right direction

    You are getting closer Cranky, you are now saying it was stupid, well done, come on, you can do it, Just repeat what Walker has said himself. It was racism. Then like walker you can educate yourself and move on like Walker has began to do.

    What I’ve said was racism and it’s totally unacceptable. I’ve lost trust and respect from everyone, and I know that, and I’ve got work to do. I’m going to take some time away from the football club to let people heal.

    “I’m now going to educate myself, which is going to take some time, because I want to be better for it and I want to influence people around me, because there’s no place for racism in society.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
