Ignoring the "Melbourne" will ensure people get shitty, and it will just divulge into a racist/not racist shitfight.
Melbourne/narrm probably better to avoid it.

Wondering what sort of conversations this is going to start.... Seems tokenistic to me, but good on them for at least thinking outside the box, just not sure what it achieves or solves.
Maybe in Pride round they can also rename themselves to the Elton Johns, and on Queens Birthday they could be called Elizabeth or Buckingham.
yet you know people will (and already are) sooking about it
Well done Dees.
Would love to see Carlton do something similar. I don’t know enough about the history of the area to suggest what.
Narrm Blues
youre right, lets not bother trying to learn anything just in case we forget it later.Will Narrm mean anything one week later?
Do it for the year and have all the Premiership stuff say Narrm not Melbourne then it means something.
I didn't know Melbourne's indigenous name until today. Great initiative and simple things like this add to people's knowledge and, perhaps, respect of Aboriginal history. Good on Melbourne for being the first to think of it. I know other clubs following suit would seem like simple copying, but I still think I'd like to see it. Fremantle is Walyalup, West Coast would have to choose Perth (there's a few options, including Mooro or or Goomap), or Noongar Boodja, which covers the coast but only the South West part.I always assumed the name for the land was 'Wurundjeri'. That's what's always listed on the AFL site and mentioned in the Welcome to Country.
Wurundjeri are the people.
Narrm is the land.
Here we go again. Melbourne FC goes completely woke. What a load of S..t.
Where does this crap end. It’s just a pity nobody’s going to have the courage to take them on and call this rubbish out. Football is becoming a branch political party, forcing left wing ideology down the collective supporters throats.
You should show some courage and speak up about it.Here we go again. Melbourne FC goes completely woke. What a load of S..t.

Nobody is making this political except for you. I would've thought acknowledging the indigenous people of our land during a round that we dedicate to the indigenous people of our land is a pretty natural thing to do, no? Sorry that the use of the word Narmm offends you so much.Here we go again. Melbourne FC goes completely woke. What a load of S..t.

C’mon, you’re not actually that dense, right?I'm not saying it's a bad idea, if you read my original quote I said good on them for thinking outside the box and doing something. Doesn't hurt anybody... Maybe just sounds like a compromise.... If they feel so strongly about it why don't they officially rebrand to Narrm FC?
If we lose it won't count against the streak.Would be a bit funny if Narrm lose their 1st game after Melbourne are unbeaten 15, 16 or whatever it will be
Hawk, or an Eagle? I would’ve thought the latter as I’ve often seen it used in Boon Wurrung signage in St Kilda. I think it’s called Bunjil - but I might be wrong.it's our worst indigenous round jumper imo, the hawk ruins it, the rest is sick as though
Putting aside the other drivel in your post, I do love when conservatives deride 'left wing ideology' for horrific, backwards ideas such as respecting people regardless of their race, gender or sexuality.Here we go again. Melbourne FC goes completely woke. What a load of S..t.
