RPFC, i absolutely agree with you on this point. My argument was the (imo fairly clear) insinuation that white ex-police couldnt give a fair hearing. If that was not your point maybe a clarification might help.

All good, no harm done. Happy to read your links. (i will pm you my opinions when i have read them so you know i have not just paid lip-service to your links)

Thats your retort?... "I know you are but what am i"........ How childish.

My point is lost on zealots. Welcome to the club.

Not a good idea for what reason? They cant be unbiased? They cant come to a balanced decision? No, the insinuation was that it wasnt a good idea because they were white and ex-police. Neither of those reasons ( your race or employment background) should have anyone quaking in their boots unless you make some fairly large generaliisations. It is grosly unfair to those involved.

Gross generalisation that is straight-up racism.

Oh ffs, i did not at ANY stage deny that we have some historical racism. That is undeniable. What i did take umbrage to is your insulting insinuation that because there was "white Ex-police" involved then the outcome could not have been fair. That is complete garbage.

Yep, PM me the link, i will be happy to read it. BTW we were not talking about why Indigenous Aussies have a distrust of police, we were clearly discussing RPFC's suggestion that white Ex-Coppers couldnt possibly give them a fair hearing. Do you believe that is the case?

Are you suggesting all of our prosecutors, judges and juries are racist too?.... ALL of them? This garbage needs to stop.

You pushed a racist trope. One that says white police cant be fair to indigenous Australians. They are your words and you need to own them. Deflecting and obfuscating wont change the meaning of what you said. It is both wrong and racist. Own your words.

And you just double down on your anti white-police racism. You should be ashamed of yourself, but im sure you wont.

Yeah, they are white so they MUST be racist. Like FMD every white copper is racist. Yeah, sure. Attitudes like yours are a part of the problem.

Another post from Bigfooty from someone pretending to be in the know about Grundy.... "His management has been shopping him around and feeding the media whatever it takes to twist the narrative towards their client and force the clubs hands to trade him to suit him They have recently presented the club a offer (club unknown) of 1 x 1st round pick and a future 2nd round pick but the caveat was they wanted the club to tip in $400k salary for Grundy at his new club Wright immediately said no way and has told them we will not tip in more than $100k and the 1st round pick must be a top 10 pick plus later picks" The difference between what the 2 supporter groups think is a fair price is as wide as the Valles Marineris. We want a pay a second rounder and have 300k plus of his contract paid. They want 2 x picks (including a top 10) with little of his salary paid. Surely the end result is something between the 2. Either way, prepare to be disappointed if we do trade for him.

The umpires are the worst possible judges for awards like this.
