Fine, not most of all, but you can't believe it didn't annoy them that he didn't live up to the "whinging abo on tv" thing they could wave around

The problem people had with adam goodes doing what he did is entirely that he's black, anything else is attempting to dress it up to make themselves sound less racist.

Well mate a white fella wouldn't complain about being racially abused, he'd laugh it off and go back to work.

Is this theory coming from somewhere other than bigfooty?

Coming from Lachie himself.

quote:

It is believed Hunter met with AFL integrity department officials on Thursday to explain his role in a bet placed on Saturday�s NAB Challenge match between the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne.

The 20-year-old informed Bulldogs officials of the incident at half-time on Saturday, immediately after becoming aware a bet had been placed on the match, from his betting account, by a Footscray VFL player.

That player is expected to appear at AFL House on Friday.

Meanwhile, Bulldogs players started arriving at training on Friday morning around 8am, ahead of their scheduled 10am session.

Captain Bob Murphy was tight-lipped on the situation, other than to say the matter would be further discussed during the day.

"I'm just going to get into the club and probably have a couple of meetings I guess," Murphy said.

"I've known (about Hunter) for a few days."

The club�s head of football Graham Lowe has spoken to AFL integrity officer Brett Clothier.

The bet is believed to be a $10 multi-legged bet which also included soccer matches.

Melbourne remains the best friend of narcoleptics everywhere.

Essendon supporters are surprisingly cocky for a team that's got a 1-4 record against Melbourne.

It brings out the Richmond in us when we can say "ok they may have beaten us the last x number of times but surely this time! I mean they're Melbourne FFS" and then, we lose again.

It's imo the most bizarre running record in the league given the performances of the two teams over it.

Then to make it more bizarre the one win we have is of a greater margin than your 4 wins combined.

Not to disparage Melbourne or Essendon, but when I saw the Friday games, GCS and Brisbane was the one I was more looking forward to watching.

But at least it's close.

Look at this injury list:

quote:

Shane Savage (hamstring) 1 week

Jack Billings (hamstring) 2 weeks

Leigh Montagna (knee) 3-4 weeks

Nathan Wright (adductor) 4 weeks

Jimmy Webster (finger) 5 weeks

Sam Gilbert (foot) 6-8 weeks

Seb Ross (hamstring) 9-11 weeks

Farren Ray (hamstring) 10-12 weeks

Arryn Siposs (shoulder) 3-4 months

Daniel Markworth (shoulder) indefinite

Brodie Murdoch (back) indefinite

Two more were added after the game against the Hawks. It's going to be like the D-day scene in Saving Private Ryan when the real football season starts.

On the train with the most Melbourne supporter ever. Total toff accent

Who won?
Essendon
Did you enjoy yourself?
Not really, no
Ah, do you support the other team?
I do
And who was that?
Melbourne
Ah, I support Melbourne. I'm sure we will come good this year.

I was wearing my Melbourne Guernsey through the entire conversation.

Suns are looking pretty good, nice and aggressive starting from the back line. Saad, Garlett and Miller look like great additions.

If you've read the report today and the AHRC report you'd know that refugees have gone through far too much already and definitely shouldn't be subjected to that.
