    The Age is quoting some as saying no one deserves a flag more

    As a player, Buckley jumped ship on Brisbane for Collingwood - the former won three flags during his playing days.  IMO those circumstances should nullify any suggestion that he "deserved" a flag.

    It's not as much fun to read the opposition fans' sites now that people are taking us seriously.

    Where's all the "who have they beaten?", "Pretenders!" posts gone?

    I'm also getting a bit sick of my non-MFC friends saying stuff like "well, if my team doesn't win, I hope you guys get up this year". I want us to be hated.

    Similarly to Geelong post 2007 and Richmond post 2017, if we go all the way this year, that sentiment would evaporate pretty quickly. Maybe a flag is what we need to be genuinely hated...?

    Tom McDonald's conduct after receiving that elbow to the jaw from Dane Zorko was exemplary. He pushed back and Zorko staged a fall. Macca then leaned over the prostate Zorko and told him the time of day. Effen AWESOME. After that the umpire awarded Macca the free kick and reported Zorko. MACCA...UNCOMPROMISING...TOUGH...ALL CLASS. Well done Tom McDonald!

    I loved seeing Tmac gleefully giving him a gobful, then offering the arm to help him up. Fierce competitor and true sportsman. Class act.

    Tmac leaned over Zorko's prostate?

    Even the content of the article makes clear the Demons weren't given a choice in the matter and were appealing it to the last moment.

    So why the headline that makes it sound like the Demons actively disrespected Indigenous Australians and people are outraged?

    AFL FANS FURIOUS OVER DEMONS INDIGENOUS GUERNSEY NOT BEING WORN

    The article has been edited a bit in the time since I first noticed it but the stupidity is still strong.

    You can see why no-one at the ABC wanted to put their byline on it.  Perhaps a Saturday morning intern looking to get some social justice credits in the bank and not too concerned about actual social justice issues?

    A frustrating aspect with this kind of thing too is that the writers don't get to choose the headline. That one is a travesty of journalistic integrity.

    Ridiculous article text in the early paragraphs. Making out that it was our choice not to wear an indigenous guernsey (I think the supposed clash was nonsense anyway given the markedly different brightnesses of the respective guernseys), then the situation is labelled a "debacle", with the inference that the MFC was the cause!!! Absurd garbage.
